AMERICAN FLYERS RACE PACERS: 

Had a total blast pacing the St. George Half Marathon. Several FRBers on the team as well as Dailymile runners on here. We all busted out close to right on times and had several runners comment on our help. We have several more races planned this year. If you are interested in becoming a pacer send me a message. We were able to use Tom and Kim Lee's two condos for 14 of our runners. Thanks so much you two! What a slumber party we had! lol Oh and got to sleep 3 wide in a king bed. Dont ask dont tell. We got rained on and this course was pretty technical so definitely messed with me even though I wasnt racing it. I hit right on my time of 1:30:03 with Ken Richardson (Editor of Utah Running magazine) and Shawn Singleton. We had a blast and we pulled our group that stayed with us to mile 7 all the way! I helped a lady from Provo named Marci, and a guy from ST. George named Trevor who it was his first half ever. a 1:30? That is awesome. He talked with me the whole way like it was no big deal so Im sure he'll be in the 1:20's real soon! I think I found my niche in life, I really did enjoy it!

I ran up to Danielles house and did 7 miles with her around the lake. She told me about the Rock and Roll Marathon that I was going to do but ended up pacing St. George  Marathon instead. We also talked about some upcoming races she has to do this year. She is over the Running through the Lavender race and was thinking of putting on a half marathon as well this year. I then ran home from her house to mine which is about 1.65 miles. I made up a little over 10 miles but my watch died so Ill never know.

Same workout as Wednesday. Went up to Daybreak and ran with Danielle. I was going to do a speed workout last night at the Olympic Oval but they had a High School Meet there. I got to see all my kids I coached at Herriman last year. They are much faster now! I used to be the rabbit to catch in the workouts now Im a bystander. lol They did a 4:30 mile! Awesome to see that and makes me cry to not have my high school legs anymore. :(  

Met Rachelle this morning and did a warmup and then helped pace her to a 42:03 10k and second place womens finish. Got more good kharma coming my way for Boston from this I hope. I feel like I can finally start my season although late to me but oh well. I saw Scott Keate and Josse and a few other crazy runners out there freezing this morning. It was fun. 

I ran part of the SoJo marathon course backwards. I started at mile 20 which is by my groovy pad and went to mile 15 and then came back.

I ran 6 miles on a loop up to daybreak lake and then met Danielle and ran 5 around the lake and 1 home.  It got nice once the sun was up and then got cold!
