Ran to 600 west and up to farm road and down my 800 route.  Did two by 800 easy at 3:23 and 3:27 (more uphill).  Felt good.  Not sure if good idea to do this before the half tomorrow.  Not even sure about the half tomorrow at all.  A little race anxiety since I don't know the course.  Anyone?  Took 39 minutes.

I think you should do the half tomorrow. You will do great. I'm amazed that your 800 times felt easy. That is a great sign. I am going to do the half that one of our running group leaders has planned. It should be fun. There are some gradual up and down hills. I hope that I can push myself like in a real race. How is your cough? I am really looking forward to your report.

Thanks for the comments on my blog. I would love to meet you. I'll plan to wear my purple ponytail tomorrow at the 1/2. Please come up to me and introduce yourself. My husband, Tom, has entered the SF 1/2 into the course tool. Look it over and it may help you out a bit. Do you have any idea what you want to run it in? Let me know after you look at the course.

Julie- Fell on my bike in front of the Elementary school trying to avoid a non-observant pedestrian. Old bones/necks just don't bounce back but hey gives me something else to focus on instead of the race, like will this pain go away. No worries, fallen worse before and still do my runs it just makes me question my brain more: who is better? my body or my mind? If my mind can get over it then my body can finish fine.

Kim- I will look for you. My goal is under 1:40, could be lofty for the course is not accomodating. Did your husband do the course on the SF half site? I didn't see a description. I know from the speedy spaniard miles 1 thru 3.5 but after that I don't know except we circle around "something" that I heard could be a good uphill. Is that true? Thanks for writing back. JULIEC

Kim- found the "Course Tool" you were talking about sorry I sounded confused. Thanks. I like that it is short. Considering the Provo Half was long 13.27. I am that closer to my goal time. HEE HEE.
