AM - 15 miles. HCI-Sunnyside-Wasatch-Parleys. Really nice morning with no crazy wind coming out of Emigration or Parleys canyons. Half day of work, then flying to AZ. I'll be doing my afternoon run in Sedona later today!

PM - 4 miles in Sedona at sunset. Andrea biked along with me. Perfect temperatures. Looking forward to running on some dirt roads and then exploring / hiking tomorrow. 

The USA XC Champs are this weekend in St Louis. Since almost everyone who is fast either ran the marathon trials or is in one of the big indoor meets this weekend, I probably should have thought this through a little better and run the XC championships - it would have been a opportunity to cherry pick a good finish :-) ... although I think I'm probably a better road runner than cross-country runner, anyways.

Wait... you're not doing the 10k tomorrow?

From Jake K on Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 10:47:04 from 155.100.226.54

I told you I was going to AZ this weekend. The door is open for you to crank out a 31-something and win the thing!

I ran about 35:30 last year. I'm hoping for a sub 35 and I think if the conditions are good and I run even splits I can do it. I haven't broken 35 on a legit course since I turned 40.

Hope you enjoy the warmth this weekend.

I think you can do it - that road/course is suited for negative/even splits if the wind isn't blowing from the west. The weather looks like it will be even better tomorrow than it was for the 5K.

Have fun in AZ!! I am jealous but I will be there in two weeks so I guess I can't be too jealous. :-)

Have a super trip! I hope the weather is amazing. I am 0 for 2 on the JMT :(

I assume you are trying to start right from the valley? That's always the toughest permit to get... but to me its worth it - its so awesome to stand next to the "211 miles to Mt Whitney" sign w/ a heavy backpack and wonder what you are about to get yourself into!

Are you going to hook up with Burt in Arizona?

From Rob Murphy on Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 16:34:54 from 205.127.70.66

Thanks for the encouragement Jake.

34:59 it is!

From Kory on Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 17:43:21 from 134.50.89.24

Burn up the road tomorrow. With your fitness level and your training your going to do well. What shoes do you run your 10k races in. The Brooks T racer model?. The weather should be wonderful for you. Hows the net gain/loss on the course?

If I've missed a time goal from previous blogs what did you have in mine.

From Jake K on Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 21:45:27 from 12.44.144.104

Dale - we're up in Sedona, but we're going to try to meet up w/ Burt depending on when we get back.

Kory - not racing this weekend, I'm out of town... maybe you are talking to Rob? :-) He wears Brooks racing flats - I wear the Saucony A4s for 10Ks.

There is a course record on a little island up this way that says you are pretty quick off the road too. :)
