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!

TOU 1/2 time

1:11:45

I ran TOU in 2007 in 2:39. When comparing my training this year to 2007, this year is far better- a lot more miles, 12 vs. 3 weeks over 80 miles, more 15+ mile runs. Not even close. So, I should expect a better time compared to that marathon.

Comparing this year to last is a lot closer- the biggest difference is the 4 weeks of 100+ miles, plus a few more BW/med runs. Overall, I am pretty happy with my training this year and feel I am in my best shape over for a run at a PR this weekend.

PM- 7 easy

You've done a great job with your training you'll have a great race. But just in case you need a little boost I'm sending a little Brandon Stokley luck your way!

From Jon on Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 12:19:15 from 138.64.2.76

I [heart] Stokley!

Good luck in your tune-up week. Thanks for the kind words on my Wasatch race. Recovery is going very rapid...shows I didn't push hard enough. But the good news is that I saved a bunch for the Bear. We'll talk more about Bear after TOU. But right now I'm reserving for you the pacing leg from Tony Grove to Logan River. I would guess this would be from 6:30 p.m. to a little before midnight.

From Jon on Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 14:35:43 from 138.64.2.76

Sounds good, Davy. Let's work out details early next week. Are you having pacers for 50 miles this time? If I feel good, I may be able to do over 20 miles (if you need it), but really can't say until after Sat.

From crockett on Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 15:09:35 from 216.49.181.254

Jun is looking at perhaps pacing me from Right Fork to Temple Fork or to Tony Grove. I'll have a crew starting at Tony Grove. They will want a couple short legs somewhere, but if you wanted more, we could figure it out.

Jon, I like that you and Cody did this. It has to be a real confidence builder. Especially when you see that more training has been added. I'm sure that will help you push through any mental blocks late in the race. I hope you are enjoying your taper and a primed for Saturday!

wow! i guess that is why you are an engineer...you number geek. :) good luck this weekend..we are excited to cheer you on!

I like your table. Questions about your stats: do your 'long run' numbers include 2-a-days? and when you say days missed, is that any day with no running or is that like a scheduled training day that you had to miss or something?

From Bec on Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 00:34:54 from 67.177.35.60

Sweet picture!!!!

From Jon on Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 16:20:12 from 138.64.2.76

Cal- long run numbers are single runs only. So if I do 10 miles in the morning and 10 in the evening, that doesn't count towards anything other than total mileage.

Days missed- I plan to run 6 days a week, every week, so only missed 2 days. Doesn't include my planned rest day each week, but it would include any days I miss due to sick/lazy/etc.
