Ran 10 miles of the painters1/2 marathon course with Ruth. Wanted a refresher on it, I used to run that course almost every saturday back a few years ago but didnt realize it was the 1/2 marathon course. I felt good the whole time and my hamstring didnt bother me at all (yeah!!) We saw lots of other runners out and few that I know and hadnt talk to or ran with for awhile so that was fun to stop and chat for a minute or two. Weather was nice today, not to cold, overdressed but I would rather shed then be freezin' the whole time. Thanks for running with me Ruth!

I drove home and wanted to get in a few extra miles so I did 5.5 mi around my neighborhood, again felt good. Last two miles my stomach started to cramp a little which is never any fun, just wanted to hurry to get back home.

Free weights, pushups, dips, squats, lunges and ab workout at home.

Could you describe the 1/2 marathon course for those of us who haven't run it before?

Glad your hamstring is feeling better. I am jealous of your warm weather. Great job on the miles this week! Say hi to Garrett.

Thanks for slowing up for me, maybe next time I'll be in better shape and we can make each other go FAST! :) And way to add to the run, you ran awesome today!

Great run for you today. I'm glad your leg is feeling better. You are truly dedicated to go home and run 5 more miles and then do toning - you are amazing! Hope you have a fun and relaxing weekend. How's scouts??

Michelle,

I am not the best describer or detailer of things but I will try my best. You start out at the Dixie Center and head out onto the road ( i didnt pay attention to where the mile markers would be, you may want to ask Ruth that) for a couple of miles and then hit a paved bike path which you stay on for a few more miles (which the whole course is relatively flat most of the way with a little uphill here and there). You pop out on the road and there Ruth said there is a very slight out and back and then you hit the trail system again for awhile and then there is a 3 mile loop on the road and then back on the trail you just came off and that leads back to the Dixie Center. I hope that is not too confusing. Mostly a mixture of road and paves trails and mostly flat.

Jody

Thank you and Garrett says Hi back:)

Ruth

That was a great run today! Are you kidding, you are in awesome shape. Lets run again !

Andee

I had to make up for not getting out yesterday. Im cleansing so relaxing yes, fun no! I just got my binder for scouts but havent had to do anything yet. I need to do the online training thing but have been putting that off. Hope you have had a great weekend!

Michelle - I put the Half's course in on the Course Tool under "Painter's Half Marathon Course '07" if you want to see it.

Look at you go! Nice long run, more miles alone and weights. You're amazing!
