This was a pretty good run - wanted 6M, but had to settle for 5M because I pushed harder at the begining than I should had.

Weather was great at 46.2avg with a high of 48.2 during the run. My heart rate hit 172 around the turn-around point which still says it is in zone 3 - I think I have my maximum heart rate wrong and will have to check into that.

Time was 40:35 for an 8:06avg. Miles were 8:06, 7:50, 7:52 (then turn-around) and realized I need to slow, 8:32 and 8:13 - the funny part was after the 4th mile my body was just going right back into that previous pace - but I stopped at 5M anyway.

The afternoon time, the warm weather, the healthly legs, the rest - all combined for the results of this run.

RunStrong friends!

Man your times are coming down. Good to hear that the shin is a thing of the past. Glad it wasn't too serious. Keep up those runs. I still think that you are on track to run St George this year, but I understand your plan. Keep it up!

You just take care of the knee - don't want to see you not being able to be out here having fun with the rest of us! St George right now would be too much pressure and I'd push myself too hard - we'll both get it next year!

Smart approach. That is why I am choosing to run the half marathon in Ogden, rather than the full. I just need to be patient with my running...push but be reasonable. I have never been a runner. I have been pushing my body to new levels for me. My knee doctor said to stay away from running, that I wasn't built for it. I wasn't even really running then...maybe 6-8 miles per week. I know I can reach higher levels, but I need to be smart about how I get there.

Ok Jeff - guess what I just did buddy? I just signed up for the Ogden Half also and you are right - you can reach new levels!! confusious say, beware doctor who say no run

Very cool. When we get closer, we need to plan to meet up before the run. Looks like we may be shooting for similar finishing times. Any thoughts on that yet?

From jediweed on Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 12:24:10

Well...1:35 won it last year - I say we go for 1:30!

From Jeff Fogg on Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 12:49:50

You are a crazy man! My time for my half marathon in August was 2:01. I am certainly planning on a much better time. A 1:49 won it in 2006 (clyde) ...we could hope for a 2006 repeat. My goal has been 1:50. As I am able to get outside and run better, I may change that number. I now know that I can run that distance and not die, it is a matter of pace now.

What is the course like? I've got the map & elevation chart, but what is the feel of it like? Just set a time you think you can shot for - don't worry about what crazy me says! lol

From jediweed on Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 12:57:18

..besides...a 1:30 will win it this year!!

From Jeff Fogg on Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 13:20:13

Ogden is certainly "easier" than Mesa Falls. We won't have any real climbs and most of it is downhill. Being a rookie, I'm not sure what that means for me. It should mean that I can run it faster, but not sure how much faster. I've never run Ogden, so its hard to guess. As we get closer, I should know how my body feels and what I think it can do. I won't be in it to win it this time...maybe next year.

From jediweed on Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 14:55:09

my bad - I thought you'd ran it already, that's why I asked about the course feel. Anyway, no worries mate - we'll just have fun with it.
