10 miles at race pace. I must still think race pace is half marathon
pace I couldn't seem to find 8:44 I guess it is better to run these too
fast rather than too slow. I even ran my big hill mile at marathon
pace. It was because a guy passed me with vibrums (sp) on and I caught up
to ask him about them. He said he really liked them. I may have to
get a pair just for fun. I looked them up on the web and there are some
pretty cool colors!
splits 8:31, 8:32, 8:07, 8:36 (big hill), 8:40, 8:29, 8:37, 8:40, 8:52, 9:57
(walked .25 uphill to my house)
Ok best birthday gifts I received - 999 pennies, a bottle of 409 where the
label had been altered to say 45 in 09, I also got "After
Eight" mints, because nine comes after eight. My husband gave me
an electric massager for my back. It has electrodes that you put on the
muscle...it is hard to explain any way it is hospital grade. I used it
last night it is amazing!

WOW! Those are AWESOME marathon race pace miles. That pace will get you 3:45. You will BQ for sure!!! Isn't 4:00 your BQ?
I LOVE your bdays gifts, very clever and creative. That massager sounds GREAT!
Where are you and Kimmy running this Sat.? Huans32 and MrsFIT are coming to run with us at Provo Canyon. Are you game?

We are going to run on the JRP. My husband set up a party that I need to go to...I was not happy. I will not get home until around 11:00. That will not give me enough time to drive to Provo and get enough sleep to run 20 miles.

My back massager is Mark :)

Big workout, good job. As to your question about my lifting, I lift only in classes at the gym, but do pushups etc. when I remember to, also. I will probably keep doing classes up until marathon week, but only because I enjoy classes. Nothing is better for running than just running.

Sounds like I need to be hooked up to your hospital grade electrodes for a good back shocking...lol! Very nice race pace run today. You are looking very strong coming into SGM! A 4 hour marathon will be a walk in the park for you....I wish that was my BQ time...it will be when I'm 60 lol.
