I'm going to take a stab at the Striders Half Marathon on Saturday. I've done just enough consistent mileage and just enough quality runs to think I may be able to run around 1:18.

I don't want to make any predictions though because I'm not used to race stress. I've never run this race but the course is the first half of the Ogden Marathon course and I have run that race. I think I came through the half there in 2011 in 1:18, a time I would be very happy with Saturday.

Good luck on Saturday Rob. Wish I could just predict a 1:18 with just enough mileage and quality runs...:) Nice to see you racing again.

The weather is going to be better than your last (skipped) race. Good luck tomorrow.
