      I need to get out there at some point in the next few years; this race sounds like a lot of fun.

        I can't understand how you can run this fast on those hills... Congratulations! And looking at Trent's pictures: What a beautiful place to run. bas

            Run like a kid again!

              Wow! A 6 minute pace up those hills! Are you freakin kidding me? I feel so slow. Last night I did intervals and decided that I would do one last quarter mile interval at the end and really push it to see how fast I could go. I was happy to run 6:24 and I was glad to be done. My new theory is that unless I can shorten my time by going faster during the marathon that once I hit over 3 hours and 30 minutes that I am going to hit the wall no matter what. However, after reading that even the great runners like Jeff contemplate walking at some point I am begininng to think maybe I need to work on my mental approach Undecided
