I'm still deciding whether to do Ogden or UVM (the full). I'm leaning toward UVM right now, I'll hit the SLC 1/2 for my spring 1/2. Hate Devine Racing, but I love the SLC course. I'm glad you got in though, I noticed on FB the posts that it was filling quickly!

I'm impressed you were back at it today. I know you've got PE coming, but man. I am SO sore the 2 today was enough. Nice work Maurine!!

From Maurine/Miles on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 15:44:50 from 63.255.172.2

Yep, Allie - it is all sold out.

Rachel - I refuse to do any Devine Racing races - because I feel they are crooks. They were very easy miles and my legs are actually sorer today after a measly 2.5 than after the entire marathon.

Less than 9 days.

Good recovery! so excited for your upcoming PE run!

Can't believe Ogden sold out their half already. Guess I better check on the Full.

From Maurine/Miles on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 09:21:36 from 63.255.172.2

They say the full will be sold out by the weekend. I wonder if that means they are not planning on being part of the Grand Slam in 2011?

From jun on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 10:20:03 from 66.239.250.209

8 more days.

From Maurine/Miles on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 10:33:06 from 63.255.172.2

Yep! I am so excited! I think I already have about 35 items laid out for myself and support vehicle. And that doesn't include food (other than the gu's and ensure).

From Smooth on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 17:25:49 from 67.41.235.104

I just signed up Ogden Full. Last year I mailed in the registration in Dec to get the Slam discount. They cashed my check and didn't bother to hand register me. What a hassle. I think Ogden is getting too bad for its own good. On the other hand, I was very impressed with UVM. Hyrum cares about the runners.

I am so excited for your PE in 8 days. Wish I was running it since it's my 55th birthday! HAVE FUN! Can't wait to read your report! I will be thinking of you!
