You need a better hobby.

From dave holt on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 09:29:44

Yeah! And I am supposed to be on top! And it matters A LOT to me... SO BACK OFF!

Just for that I will tell you that it was over 50 before 6AM this morning - and we were loving it!

Enjoy the snow this weekend.

From paul on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 09:44:20

Dave - meh. It was 44 degrees here in Logan at 5AM. According to the weather report, St. George was only 4 degrees warmer. Thus, I will conclude that we have a very similar climate.

From Jon on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 10:05:35

And it was raining in Logan... not snow, rain.

From paul on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 10:18:00

That was rain? I had forgot what that was like. I thought it was just PM2.5 precipitating out of the "air".

Now we know how he is able to log all his miles. He logs all the miles traveled to work, in a car. They are easy miles.

From Jon on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 11:13:33

I'd be at the top of the mileage board every week if I did that! 500 commute miles!

Good pseudo scientific analysis there Paul! LOl!!

From dave holt on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 13:13:21

Paul,

that rational sounds eerily similar to that used by my high school students when complaining about all their laundry list of issues.

So thus I conclude that you must still be in high school - and if so, would you like to transfer down to Pine View!

From paul on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 13:29:38

Thanks. I think my psuedo-science is as good as anyone's. I also believe the earth is flat and it orbited by the sun. It's the same logic that people use against global warming. "It's cold out today. Therefore global climate change is a liberal hoax." Weather is not equal to climate.

my careful analysis indicates you are CHEATING- anyway I just passed Cody by 11 miles the honest way, ha ha ha, you guys better be getting worried, I am looking to teach you some lessons in our next race.

From Jon on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 16:51:55

What are your next races, Rooster?

From redrooster on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 17:21:04

hmmm.... good question.... I tend not to think too far in advance, though I have signed up for the Ogden marathon. And I have a free entry to the SLC 1/2 on April 18 if I want it. But that kind of interferes with the running schedule I am following- do you think I can accomodate it, it is 4 weeks before Ogden- can I shuffle my long runs around for a half marathon four weeks before Ogden? Also, the Providence panda fun run is April 25, that is a must, you guys should join me for that.

From Jon on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 20:42:46

Yes, you can definitely do a 1/2 4 weeks before- in fact, I try to schedule a half either 3 or 4 weeks before, sometimes even 2. Just do a 3-4 mile warm up and cooldown and you have a nice 20 miler.

From redrooster on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 21:48:19

OK, I will do it, are you interested in? and be sure and put the providence panda fun run on your calendar and spread the word. Last year there were only about 6 or 7 entries in the 10K. It was really lonely.

From Jon on Fri, Feb 06, 2009 at 22:13:32

That is the same day as the Striders 30k, so I am a no go. But Cody and Paul may be able to do it.
