Ragnar 2009 Short-Term Running Goals: Finish the St George Marathon this year, and possibly even make a Boston qualifying time!?! Personal: I have always run to keep in shape but before last year hadn't ever run more than 6 miles in my life. It all started when RAD got me signed up to do Ragnar. I didn't want to make a fool of myself, so I started doing more distance. I found I really like having something to work for in my running. Now that my 4 kids are getting older, I finally feel like I have the time to commit to training for a marathon. |

| | I remember RAD telling me about a running blog, so I tried to find it and typed in running blog and a few others and I couldn't find it. I asked her again, and she said it was the "fast" running blog. So I don't know if I really belong with the "FAST" running blog, but I made it into the St George Marathon, and I am looking for a few running friends to train with. This will be my first marathon, and I am actually curious to see if my body can withstand the pressure put upon it with the training. Those of you who run several marathons a year, I am in awe of you and also think you are absolutely nuts! I am definitely trying to get under 4 hours, and am considering trying to make it under the 3:45 that qualifies me for Boston. I know I have run with a few of you (Tom Slick we did the SL half together, and I know I have run with Smooth with RAD last year). I was wondering if PaulRiverton is my dental friend that saw me on the trail? I am wondering what kind of groups do longer weekend runs? I figure the only way I will make it through 3 hour runs is if I have someone to talk to, because I get rather bored after mile 7 by myself and my music. So give me some feed back on a good run this weekend-Thanks | |
| | My 10 yr old son looses stamina in his soccer games, so I told him to run with me. We ran the first mile at 9 minutes, he walked/ran the second while I ran ahead and did a 8 min mile, and the third we ran together with a few short walks at about 9.5 min miles. I want him to run with me, but it is hard to keep the slower pace. |
| | ran a little more distance today. I wore my new shoes the Brooks adrenaline. My left knee hurts a little today. I ran on the Jordan River trail, and went as far south until it ends. about 9400 S. It was great weather, but I did get a little bored by myself. |
| | Had a hard time on last mile, because of knee problems. Had to even stop and walk for about half a mile. Before that I averaged 8:30. but that last one and a half was more like 15 minute miles. I wonder if the slant of the road I was running on is what aggravated it. | |
| | After knee problems on Fri, I was worried I would still be hurting, but we did a little hiking yesterday and I was okay, so I ran 4 today, and did just fine. I averaged 8:34. On the first 2 the wind was with me and I did 8:09 and 8:12. On the way back I had the wind against me and it brought my average down. | |
| | we went to moab this weekend, so instead of running, I did some hikes with the kids. It was fun! |
| | knee still not doing great. |
| | I thought maybe after my break from running my knee would be all better. Still feeling jammed up. Maybe I'll have to go see a physical therapist! | |
| | ran 10 but at about mile 6 my knee bothered me for 2 miles, and then the last 2 was okay. I did the porter rockwell trail. |
