Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
17.45	0.00	17.45

7:30am: Holy cow, was it ever windy today. It was 36 degrees with winds between 25 to 35 mph. It was a cold wind too. Cut right through me. I ran out through Chubbuck, down to ISU, up Barton Rd., across Alvin Ricken, up over Buckskin, across Parks Rd. down Pocatello Creek, up Satterfield, then home. Total 17.45 miles. The wind made it feel a lot harder than it should have been.

Bill! your pushin the mileage good job. I hear you with the wind it was bad. There's one place you missed running this morning that you didn't cover; Fort Hall. :-)

Nice work your going to do well in Tucson.

Whats your plans on running Saturday and time maybe we can do a long run together? I don't care about the pace.

Kory. I am planning a 16-17 mile run Saturday morning at 6:00am. I am running with Barry Smith. Haven't been able to talk him in to the blog yet...but I'm working on it. You are welcome to join us.

Where are you starting at?

From Bill Mandler on Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 14:23:33

We are starting at my house. We could pick you up on the way or meet you somewhere along the way.

I can drive to your house and leave from there. I'll get up there about 5:50. I'm used to getting up early on Saturday's. What route are you planning to run, because I'm game for anything?

From Bill Mandler on Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 16:20:15

It will probably be similar to what I did today.

Bill, If I'm not up there by 6am on Saturday you guys go ahead and start. What pace were you planning on trying to stay at.
