Personal:

I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

18 miles- from my house to mile 16 on TOU (5.6 miles, 42:30). Then I turned around and ran the last 10.2 miles of the TOU course, with mile splits.

17- 6:57

18-6:57

19-7:00

20-6:56

21-6:49

22-6:54

23-6:30 (I inadvertently found myself in the middle of a 10k race, so kind of surged and enjoyed catching 10 people)

24-6:38

25-6:32

26-6:38

26.2- 1:29

Then 2.5 miles home. I had hoped to be under 7:00/mile for the 10 miles, so was happy with the run. Felt very good. I even ran into Mark Jorgenson on the way home- he was finishing a 21 miler, getting ready for Ogden Marathon.

Total time: 2:09 Now it's time to go play a few hours of frisbee!

Jon,

You should have just come and run the 30k, even as a bandit.

From Cody on Sun, Apr 29, 2007 at 18:54:21

Jon,

You would've placed in the top 20 even if you had run no faster than your own workout time. Looking good! You should do the Ogden half. You would do pretty well even with only 2 months of base.

Its nice to see Mark is out and training. I think he could do really well too.

Yeah, I probably should have done the 30k with you guys. I would do the marathon except I will be out of town. I am sure I will do the WBR with you all, though.
