I ran my first marathon as a teenager in 1981 with my Dad (The Coronado Marathon). Since then I've run St, George (3x) Utah Valley (3x) Ogden (1 full, 2 halves) Park City (1 x) Boston Marathon (1x) Washington DC (1x) Moab Half Marathon (6x) ,Ye Old Freedom Festival 5 & 10K (a million x) and many others.
But I'm all done with that now. I'm officially a jogger.
I am sick of running in circles on the track. I need some sunlight and fresh air or I am going postal. To spare you my misery I will not post any more words until I either get to run outside, or it snows.

Josse has an awesome trail I've been dying to get back to, we really should get up there. But right now I have to focus on flat distance and adding a little speed. I can do my segment of the rivertrail Friday or Monday (between 8-10 a.m). On Saturday, I'm running 9 with Catherine. I'm so far behind my training-- but 18? Eighteen Suzanna? What in the world are you doing?? Marion--let me know if you want to do a river run tomorrow or Monday. then I can get to Solitude for half day with Smooth : )

You are not far behind on your training. We are 14 weeks out from Boston. 9 on Sat sounds about right. I'm experimenting with a 70/18 schedule. It has me doing higher mileage than I ever dreamed of, maxed out at 70mpw (twice in the 18 weeks time). It might be suicide. But I figure if I ever want to test the water of higher mileage, this is the year to do it. At 54, I'm on the bottom of my AG, no sense busting my tail off to compete with the fast 50 yr olds. Plus I've already BQ for 2011. So in 2010 I can just experiment around and also toy with the idea of doing an ultra! So, that's what i'm doing. It's NUTS, I know!
HAVE FUN on your river run tomorrow and trail run with Cath. on Sat. I HOPE to see you on Monday! I will be at the Moonbeam run. It's at the first parking lot of Solitude, can't miss it. I go up and down that run all day long. We do take lunch break at the brown-bag lounge around 11:30am.

Smooth, you crack me up. Let's see 70 mile weeks, you umpteenth Boston Marathon in April, an Ultra 50 miler in July. Sure, I'll meet you on the bunny hill -- it may be the only place I could EVER keep your 'pace'. I'll PM you my number on Sunday if I can get up there by afternoon :)
