I went to the Riverton Park and ran the Half marathon Course with a ginormous group that showed up! I posted on Facebook and Dailymile and I was surprised to see how many came out. I think we had a total of 33 runners.  Very fun day! I ran in a group of 12 guys that were running a progressive run from 7 pace to 5:40ish by the end. Jake K., Scott K., Dan V., Tony, Fritz V., Brian F., from the frb were in the group. A lot of us are going to Boston this year so it was fun to get to know them! I had the BBK group that showed up as well to add to the numbers.  I had some stomach issues by mile 12 to deal with, but I kept close to those pushing. They then went for a 6 mile jaunt to finish their run but there was no way I could go anymore. It was good to see Lisa Dudley, the race director show and I was able to introduce some of the pacers that came out to run today to her.   I also saw Kelli and her hubby and Rachel W. who is also on dailymile to make sure im posting. lol  We talked about doing another run together in 2 weeks in American Fork Canyon.

Good run and nice seeing you this morning Walter. Still 2+ months until Boston - keep at it and you'll be where you want to be. That would be great if we can get the group together again in 2 weeks.

From Walter on Sat, Feb 04, 2012 at 14:42:49 from 24.2.69.110

Ill watch for your speed workouts and times and places and try to get out and do some. Let me know.

Funny that the run that was going to be just me and Walter practicing the Riverton half course turned into such a big group. It was awesome!! Thanks for helping advertise and organize things.

From Walter on Sat, Feb 04, 2012 at 15:39:10 from 24.2.69.110

Rachelle. I didnt even get to run with you how ironic is that. See how facebook and the frb and Dm can be such a tool? :)

From Dragonvulture on Sat, Feb 04, 2012 at 16:19:39 from 174.27.236.135

It was a fun run this morning. Nice to chat with you and look forward to some more good runs.

From Teena Marie on Sat, Feb 04, 2012 at 16:20:19 from 208.54.4.242

Dang, I wish I could have made it. Sounds like it was awesome!

From Walter on Sat, Feb 04, 2012 at 21:17:58 from 24.2.69.110

Yeah, I finally know who Dragonvulture is! Thats really my pet peeve on this site. I like to know who Im talking to. :) So sorry if I ignored you earlier. lol

TM, You need a special invite? come on girl! Got to watch that Facebook closer. lol When I said I was going to run with a group I was expecting 15 not 35! lol I almost had to pull a permit to allow us to run as an organized group run. lol Good think Lisa was there from Parks and Rec to back us up! haha

From Chad Robinson on Sat, Feb 04, 2012 at 21:27:31 from 208.110.158.227

It definitely had to be some sort of record for a non sponsored group run at the beginning of February. We will have to get together sometime next week.

From Fritz on Sat, Feb 04, 2012 at 22:24:13 from 67.182.226.25

It was good to see you out there. We will definitely do it again sometime soon

Good times yesterday what an amazing group. Really was good to put names and faces together and meet some fellow runners/bloggers. I know running with this group will help a ton with where I want to be . Plus it is such a fun group.

From Walter on Tue, Feb 07, 2012 at 21:06:12 from 24.2.69.110

prlman. Dont know your code name. Who are you? I like putting names to faces before I run because I suck at names when people approach me and say they know me from the blog but I only know a code name. lol

From prlman on Tue, Feb 07, 2012 at 21:54:44 from 208.54.4.176

Walter, its Paul Fulton aka prlman from the race pacers
