Long run with 4 mile marathon tempo in the middle at 6:20/mi.  Total: 11 miles 7:00/mi ave.

Perfect running weather, overcast and 55 degrees.  Around mile 10 the sun finally started to peek through the clouds and it seriously made my whole body tingle.  

I put The Killers on my Ipod Shuffle last week and have been enjoying a new variety to my playlist.  My favorite song this morning was  "I Can's Stay." 

Looking forward to a fun weekend!  Tonight is a Coctail party (just water for me, of course) with Aaron's networking group of savvy real-estate investors.  Tomorrow my Mom and Step-Dad come to town and we'll be sight-seeing in Denver all day.  For the evening they've offered to watch the kids and tuck them in so we can take our Accountant and Executive Assistant and their husband's to a fun dinner/music place.  I'm excited to get to know them better without the kids pulling on my sleve. 

Just this week I decided I wanted to run a 10k soon, so I found one on July 4th and planned a little get-away with some friends for that weekend.  It will be us and 3 other families staying in a big vacation rental home in Breckenridge for three nights.  There will be plenty of mt. biking, running, swimming, gaming, hiking, ect. and a 10k race on the 4th, of course.  Looking forward to a fun vacation!

Just found your blog- welcome. Looks like you have lots of potential, with an impressive marathon debut. Glad to see someone will be giving Allie a run for her money at TOU this year- it was too easy for her last year.

I'm from Denver (Littleton and Golden) but live in Utah now, so it looks like we traded places. If you've never done Georgetown 1/2 before, you'll love it- great race. But, in my opinion, you'll need to be more like 1:20-1:22 at Georgetown to give you a good chance at 2:55 at TOU. Aim high and go get em.
