So are you running the Striders Winter Racing Curciut this year?

From Walter on Wed, Dec 08, 2010 at 13:15:37 from 68.171.231.16

Not this year Matt. I have the ragnar that is on the same day. Its up to you to dominate!

From Mattrow on Wed, Dec 08, 2010 at 16:18:01 from 192.107.247.6

I am not running it either. I didn't like racing that often. I will be looking for a half the end of March first of April but I can't see it being the Striders Half. I am still cold after that race. LOL

From Walter on Wed, Dec 08, 2010 at 16:22:03 from 206.53.147.245

Riverton half is then. You did that last year didn't you?

Walter, that is the Olympic Oval you run at? How is that? I've wanted to try it but never got around to figuring out how to do it. Is there a membership involved to go there? Or can you just show up and pay anytime you want?

From Walter on Thu, Dec 09, 2010 at 15:09:59 from 68.171.231.17

Yeah the Olympic oval. Its 3 bucks per time you go of you can pay 100dollars for a family of 6 for a year and that includes ice skate rental. Ill take my kids and they can ice skate while I run on the track which is 440 yards long so you gain 4p yards per lap. Its climate controlled at 65 degrees also so its nice to do a speed workout in the winter without wind.

Crazy speedster, my legs would be tired too!!

From Walter on Thu, Dec 09, 2010 at 19:26:31 from 24.10.169.110

Carina, it is such a great place to go for a workout and to be back in you shorts and singlets. :)

From Mattrow on Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 16:56:30 from 8.22.12.138

I didn't run the Riverton half last year. I will keep it in mind.

From Walter on Sat, Dec 11, 2010 at 00:23:32 from 24.10.169.110

Matt, im going to sign up for the USA Track and Field Long Distant Running competition this year. So I may have to run the Ogden striders half if its part of the series.
