Easy two miles over to the bridge and back. 

Cumulus-303

Good night of sleep.  We spent much of the evening moving things into the new house.  Actually, we were able to get most of the big stuff.  Sorry Mike, we already got the piano, the big scree, and the sectional all moved.  We had a good crew and I don't think I over did it, at least I hope not.

Plan today is to sit at my desk watch the students work (Yes, this is what I do most days anyway)

Hit the expo around 3 or 4

Light Dinner around 5

Blog Party around 6

Leave for Pine Valley and the BYU Game around 7

A few people on the blog have posted how their training this year has been going compared to last year.

My training has been better this year, but there is still much room for improvement.  However, everybody has their own reasons for running and for me I really have to find the balance that works for everything else I have going on.

Leading up to the marathon

2007

50+ miles per week= 5

60+ miles per week= 7

70+ miles per week= 2

 

2008

50+ miles per week= 10

60+ miles per week= 9

70+ miles per week= 2

 I really haven't ran any races that were similar enough both years to compare.  A lot of the races I've run this year I've either been coming off of an injury or big workouts for me.  So I'm really looking forward to tomorrow.  I really feel like I'm in shape to run a PR.

The BYU game is at Pine Valley? Weird venue...

Go Aggies!

Yeah Paul

Most of BYU's first string are taking this week off and spending time enjoying the marathon with me at the cabin in Pine Valley.

They figure the 2nd and 3rd string will be enough to beat up on the Aggies.

Go Cougs!

Good one. Actually BYU could probably beat USU with their current high school recruits!

Best of luck tomorrow.

Sad but true.

Good luck. I'm sure I'll see you during the race tomorrow sometime.

See you up at the start Dust. Good luck!
