AM. I ran 6 easy miles with Larry and Lyle this morning on the Lindon loop. I pushed up one short steep hill and the legs felt pretty good, but mostly we just ran easy and conversed.

PM. I ran the 5.2 mile Lake View route with Tom, Nathan, and Bill. The pace was a little faster than this morning, but still an easy conversational pace (around 8:30/mi).

I'm just going back and reading your race report for TOU and some of the others. Thanks for being such a conscientious blogger! It's not only fun to read your entries, but it is also a big help in knowing what to expect and getting motivated as well.

I just went back and read my TOU report myself. It was just as I remembered it. I loved coming down the canyon, began to struggle as we left the canyon and headed north, then struggled hard through the last 10 miles. I think a slightly less aggressive pace down the canyon may have been more a more prudent strategy, perhaps making the last 10 miles not quite so difficult.

I'm sure you'll have a better race plan than I did.

Paul

I finally registered so I can reply to your blog. I was on powerbar.com they have a hydration calc. on their site. Check it out.

I need to consume at least 10 oz. of fluids per aid station, 13 in all.

I will be floating along this year.

Welcome to the blog, Larry! It's about time!

You put "http://larry.fastrunning.com/blog" as your web address in your comment, but it should be "http://larry.fastrunningblog.com/".

Now you need to blog today's run. When you login it should take you to the calendar. Click "New" on today to record today's mileage and any comments.

That hydration calculator looks interesting. I'll have to check my one hour weight loss sometime so I can try it out.

I usually take 4-5 oz. of water per aid station, more if it's hot. Taking 10 oz. seems like a lot, but maybe I should take more than 4-5 oz.

I fixed it.

I did post todays run
