AM - Ran the IM course to practice my hill techniques. I was very cold out!! I tried to ride the bike right after the run... I got about 2 miles before I realized it was TOO COLD!!!. I rode the trainer for 1.5 hours.

You guys are having some freaky weather! My husband was driving back from Mesquite Friday and took a picture of the beautiful snowy St George mountains. NUTS, but still warmer than here!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yes it has been crazy weather here. Snowed this morning! It usually melts off quickly, but this looks like it's going to stay a little longer! We are over half our annual rainfall totals so far... 9 months more to go! The reservoirs are all full! The county is trying to draw them down as quick as possible.
Are you running Painters Half in 3 weeks?

I am pacing a friend, just as always with this race. We are trying to FINALLY break 2 hours for her, she missed it by 6 seconds on her last attempt.
Are you guys running it?

Yes... but I have been running so slow for Ironman that this will not be a race, but more of a training run. In some ways I miss marathon training!! Did you know the course has been completely changed?

I am just looking at it right now. I need to book our hotel rooms and was trying to find something close so we can either walk to the start or from the finish, but I am thinking there are not any hotels down by the mall????

The only close hotels I can think of are by the zion outlet stores. They are a mile from the mall.

I guess everything is clkose enough. Hotel booking is on my to do list today. There are about a bazillion to choose from! I was more concerned with getting a condo over Spring Break when we come to run the Red Mountain 50k. Now that I have that checked off my list, I will worry about Painters weekend. Such a procrastinator!

Looks like the City may move the race course back over to the Dixie Ctr... I will find out more later

WOW, changing this close is scary! Unless, of course, it is just back on to the same course as always! LMK what you hear.

The course is changed for Painters half... it is almost the same course, we don't run the loop in bloomington. Go to the website to see the new course. The previous new course had too much flood damage to make the necessary repairs before the race. Good Luck and see u soon!

I saw that two days ago! And, as luck would have it, we got the hotel right around the corner from the convention center----.3 miles!! Yeah, glad i went with my gut on that one.
See ya in a week or so. Please make sure it is warm!
