So I think I left my brain on the pillow this morning when I got up... I knew that the forecast said it was be raining around 5pm, so I thought I could beat the rain... but I didn't take into consideration the drop in temp and the wind chill. I didn't pack the gym bag according to the conditions. :( So I ended up doing an hour on the eliptical at the gym... lots of stretching and sit-ups. Guess I will chalk it up to cross training right? Hopefully I will be better prepared tomorrow :)

Lori, I think you said you are doing the Winter Series, are you going to do the 30K on April 25th, I am thinking I might do it, I need a good long training run for Ogden and it is so much more fun to have done with a group, plus isn't it the first part of the marathon course?

Hey, you got your miles in! Good girl!

Leslie,

I'm running the 30K I hope it will be better weather then the 1/2. I know that the 1/2 course is the first half of the marathon, for the most part. But I think the 30K starts and ends at the Red Moose Lodge. So it's around the valley.

Dang, I was hoping it would be down the canyon, now I will have to re-think this.

I'm glad you could get to the gym and get some cross-training in. That nasty cold and wind.

Lori, I would be so slow, I would be doing probably an average of 13 min. miles for that distance, maybe I should see if I could be a sweeper? What pace will you be running?

From Metcalf Running on Thu, Apr 09, 2009 at 14:50:01 from 207.225.192.66

I would like to say that I will run it around 9:30 pace, but in reality I will probably be closer to 10:00 - 10:15.
