OK....I'm not the kind of girl to sit around and watch everyone else have all the fun! I have been a "silent lurker", (as Tom put it), of the fast running blog since meeting many of you fine people in St. George last week! I am planning on running the St. George 1/2 in January. Moab actually sounds like a great idea also!
My training right now is with a friend who has never ran until she started with me in August. We are taking it pretty easy and slow. My first half was in Jan. 2000 with a time of 2 hours 20 minutes. (When I crossed the finish line the guy who gave me my time ticket told me, "All you need to do is cut 4 minutes off of each mile and you can be a contender!") Wasn't he a funny guy?! My second half was in Jan. 2006 with a time of 2 hours and 10 minutes. I think this one will be much slower with my training partner, but at least I am running again. Maybe I can try to pick up the pace for Moab.
It really was fun to meet many of you in St. George! I hadn't really paid much attention to the blogging that Tom was in to until I saw how nice you all are! It was so fun to sit at the finish line and see all you awesome runners come in so fast!
