are you running the inaugural Big Cottonwood Marathon? Could be a knee breaker but I guess no worse than Des News.

Oh, looks like you have been putting in some solid/consistent miles lately. Nice work.

Yea, I am thinking of running the Big Cottonwood Marathon. The run down the canyon wasn't quite as bad as I thought it might be.

From Fritz on Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 08:42:08 from 65.116.116.6

yeah, that canyon isn't super steep. Going down 45th at about mile 22 could be interesting and oddly enough I saw you running down 45th this morning. If I can get my hamstring back in gear I will probably run the half.

Yea, I ran that part of the course after running down the canyon on Friday. It definitely did not feel too good going down 45th after the canyon. That was definitely me running down 45th today, I ran the part of the course here in the valley today.

Fritz-

A quick question for you. What do you think about the Big Cottonwood Marathon vs. St. George? I didn't draw out to get into St. George originally and had been planning on running Big Cottonwood. I just found out that I can probably get in the St. George if I would like.

From Fritz on Thu, Aug 30, 2012 at 12:21:09 from 65.116.116.6

St. George is a much bigger event and would probably be more fun. Coursewise BC drops more but I am guessing you could run a faster time at St. George because the drop is more casual. If I were you I would run St. George if you can take the Friday before the race off. I might also run St. George and the BC Half as a prep race. Just depends on how my hamstring holds up over the next couple of weeks.

I ended up getting in St. George so I will be running that race. We will see how it goes. I would like to run the Big cottonwood half marathon also, but it is sold out. I am on the waiting list to get in, so hopefully I do. Thanks for your help.
