From runnerjeffaz on Tue, Apr 06, 2010 at 00:23:12 from 68.228.204.202

Thanks for the warm intro guys. Burt, I'm in Gilbert. Where to do you live/run? I usually run with East Valley Runners when running with a group. Used to run with 1st Marathon awhile back. May join up with a competitive coach, not sure yet, will see if the personal motivation pans out.

From Burt on Tue, Apr 06, 2010 at 01:38:08 from 98.177.220.145

Jeff - I usually run in my neighborhood here in Queen Creek. My neighbor is Bruce Washko. He wants me to join the East Valley Runners. I told him I would after Ragnar. But now my hammy is hurt, so I might wait a couple of weeks. It will be nice to meet you. How well do you know Bruce? Don't tell him that I blog about him all the time. lol!

From runnerjeffaz on Tue, Apr 06, 2010 at 23:31:11 from 68.228.204.202

Burt, Sure I know Bruce, great guy, he's quick too. I think it is the Mustache.

From Burt on Wed, Apr 07, 2010 at 00:01:16 from 98.177.220.145

Bruce is a great guy. His stache is pretty sweet, too. I call him Bruce RUN2DAY on the blog because that's what his license plate says. Actually I think that's the vehicle his wife usually drives. His license says LONGRUN. Anyway, twice he's scared me into thinking he was a coyote.

Welcome to the Blog Jeffie! :D

OH. IM! We need to talk Mr. Ironman.

:D Doing an IM soon?

I am headed down to St. George May 1st to watch the Ironman and register in person before they open registration online for 2011. I know Tempe fills in 20minutes...don't know how bad it will be for St. George so I am playing it agressive!

Anyhow..don't melt there in the Phoenix Metro. Mwa ha ha!

Missy, I'm on edge of signing up for another one of those stinkers, but I want to kill a marathon this year first, which means minimal biking/swimming. Let me know if you have any particular questions as you get to training, I love that stuff, would love to help you out any way I can. - Jeff

Well happy running! I don't envy your oven like 20milers..haha. I would go out at 4am to run long on Saturdays. Not always tho..Went and ran South Mountain down 10 miles when 105-110degrees, but you know after 5pm or maybe it was 6pm it was part shady. Wasn't too bad. You do get used to it don't ya. :D Some people I knew would drive to Prescott, do you do that? Or just bake? :)

Day six of running, need to run tomorrow morning too as can't run Sat/Sunday morning with wife out of town. New plan is to take 60 consecutive hrs off each week, run a morning (Fri), skip the following day (Sat), and run the next night (Sun). Should help make 6 day weeks easier to keep up and accomodate 2x days when they start.

I'm sure you will work it out. :D

The way you plan out your workouts, reminds me of how I plan out my meals...With my workouts I just do it when the going is good, I can afford that luxury since I don't work. But with food, I have to plan those so I can perform well in my workouts.

I would like to get where my workouts are at set times, but I think I am too hippy/freespirit/rebellious to do that..haha.

Hey Burt, hope things are good. I'm running Sunday at the Race for the Cheetah 5k at the zoo, you going to be there? After that who knows, lots of 5ks thru the spring/summer. Hope to run St George Marathon Oct 2nd then Tucson in December which I hope to crush. Your plans?

From Burt on Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 23:49:54 from 98.177.220.145

I'm still not quite in race shape. Hopefully I'll get there in time to do a few of the ARR Summer Series races. Other than that, I'm signed up to do the Utah Ragnar in June. I'd like to give St. George a go, too, if I can. We'll see.

when running alone, typically the east/west that is between elliot and guadalupe, I run McQueen to Val Vista a lot. EVR runs NS a lot on the canal near the Gilbert downtown.

Canal miles to Val Vista and back home. A bit humid out, but I think I'm getting used to that. I'd like to be running earlier to beat the sun though, it bakes.

Hey Jeff. A few of us from the blog are going to get together for a short run on Saturday, 5 or 6 miles. We're going to meet at the northwest corner of Val Vista and Baseline in front of the Pei Wei's at 5:30am. Let me know if you can make it.

Hope you're doing well.

Funny shoes running day, I think I did about 15% of my monthly mileage in the Vibrams, will try to up it a bit each month. Takes some getting used to but feels like good form when running.

My favorite run is starting at the parking lot for the Salt River Tubing, going up the north side of Usery Pass, and going back down.

St George Marathon

Interesting Day, for the first time in 20 marathons, my feet got massively blistered, and early in the race at that. By mile 10 my left foot was bloody. I visited Aid stations at 13 and 16 to get patched, and hobbled for most of the second half. Completed the race in 4:10 on a day I expect I would have run about 3:25 with the heat conditions. Overall I'm satisfied as the running felt great, but the heat and the strange blistering sent my overall time sideways. I persevered and finished despite not wanting to. I expect I'll run Tucson next after a few weeks of downtime and thinking about it...

Sorry about the blisters and the heat. Still a very respectable time. Great job!
