Since my sugery, I've had a hard time moving very fast.  My saving grace in running with Amanda is that she's really careful on the ice, and therefore goes pretty slowly.  But overall she averages 8.5 m/m.  I really have to push on those day....good thing we only go 5 miles a day!

13.1 miles -- in 2:04

Moab Half Marathon.  My sister came with her friends from DC.  It's been  pretty in Moab and Arches.  But MAN, that canyon was cold waiting for the starting gun.  They make you give up your sweat clothes an hour before the race so they can bus them down the canyon ahead of you.  We met runners from New Jersey who had run the Marine Marathon in DC, and who had just come from a half marathon in Las Vegas the weekend before.  I love half-marathon tourism.  I'm game for that myself.  I ran really slowly, staying with my sister for the first 6 miles (she paces at about a 12 minute mile, it's painful, but I only see her once or twice a year).  The skin drum earth women were fewer this year than in years past.  I don't blame them, they moved the date up a week and the temperature of the race day dropped at least 20 degrees.

4 miles at a 9 minute pace

Man, that time change a month early is kicking my butt.  I am TIRED.  Amanda is bummed that she couldn't do Moab with me.  So I told her to pick a half marathon this Spring, any half marathon and I'd do it with her.  I suggested running the Bear Lake Half or Full Marathon on June 12 and we could go stay at my uncle's house.  It would be great, his view of the lake from the house is breathtaking.  But she chose the Ogden Half on May 17th.  Her 28th birthday.  So we'll be setting up a training schedule for that.  Just as soon as I can catch up on my sleep.

We're going to do Ogden Half Marathon on May 17th.  I wrote up a little training schedule, and I will run Amanda the full 13.1 before the race so she feels confident she can do it.  I'm excited for her, she's never run more than 9 miles before.  She'll be great.
