Running Miles	Swimming Yards	Bike Miles
20.60	0.00	0.00

AM - 12.6 miles, up to work... first 7.5 w/ Andrea.

PM - 8 miles. Ran down to Sugarhouse, then did 8 x 300m @ 5K pace (Average 52.9 seconds) w/ 100m between reps.

Need some feedback on the Spooky Fast 5K we were planning to do on Halloween weekend. After some tinkering w/ the training schedule and thinking about the overall plan, Andrea and I really need to use that Saturday morning for our "dress rehersal" 13 mile tempo, since its 3 weeks out from Philly. Plus, Andrea isn't allowed to run faster than half-marathon pace until her hamstring is totally healed up. So for those of you that want to run, there are a few options...

1. Have the race on the afternoon of the 29th (I'm happy to sit in a chair and do the timing)
2. Do it one of the following Saturdays (Nov 5th or Nov 12th)

Maybe we can just try to come to a group consensus? Any input is appreciated!

I think November 5th is a better plan. That last weekend in October is pretty busy.

Hey Jake - I won't be able to run - too soon after my Grand Canyon run with Steve - but I can probably help out if you need anything.

i wasn't going to be able to make it on the 29th, but if you do it in the afternoon, i could come.

that said, i realize there are plenty of other people who are interested, and most of them will probably prefer a run in the morning since weekends are so busy with family stuff. we're planning on running a 5k at wheeler farm on the 5th, but depending on the start time it may be possible to do both. and as far as i know, the 12th works.

also, my sister and brother-in-law are interested in participating. they have started entering races more to get in shape and they were really excited when i told them about this one. i'm sure they would be good with any weekend, but i just wanted to let you know that you can add two more to your list of participants!

I've got two kids who would like to come run, but they'll be in the high 20's. Whenever you settle on a day, we'll be there.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll talk to Andrea tonight, we'll give some time to let others chime in, and then we'll try to come up w/ a date that works best for most.

I could make any of those days. I think you should do it on a day that works in nicely with your and Andrea's training schedules.

Let me know how I can help. Thanks for putting this together
