I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences. I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn. I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
16.00	0.00	16.00

I wanted to get me LR done today. I am headed up to a bball game in North SLC tonight and know I wont get home until close to midnight so I decided it would make sense to just get it done so I'm not worried about it tomorrow. I have never ran more than 12-13 miles on the treadmill but chose the treadmill for 3 reasons.

1. I don't like running outside in the dark alone.

2. I didn't want my leg to start bothering me halfway through and be stuck 6-8 miles from my house. I am stubburn and know I would have kept running.

3. It made sense to run on a soft flat surface since my shin has been bothering.

That said it went surprising well. I'm not sure if it was the IB profin 800 I took before the run or wearing my compression sleeves but my shin/calve hardly seemed to bother me which was a major relief. I kept the pace fairly consistent and ended with 16 miles in 2:06. I was definitely tiring out towards the end and have lots of work to do when it comes to endurance. Endurance is definitely my weakness but it felt good today to keep my pace consistent. I took a gel at mile 9 and kept the incline at 1% the entire run.

And I now have the weather report memorized for the next 3 days as well as everything going on with the political debate. Two straight hours of watching the news was a little much. :)

That's a long time to be on the treadmill! Glad the shin didn't act up and you felt pretty good.

Just FYI - if you ever don't want to make the drive south and want to crash at my place, you are more than welcome. I have a really comfortable air mattress!

Nice run! Glad you got it in - and with no pain! I think all 3 of your reasons for being tom the TM are valid, especially #1. I get paranoid about girls (ie. Andrea) running in the dark alone.

You do realize that you ran 16 miles @ 3:20 marathon pace, right?!?!?!? You are doing great in terms of endurance (considering its January). I did 2 miles @ MP this morning and felt like there is no way I would have even made it to 10!

Lucky. I wish my long run was over. That is some rugged treadmill time. Check this out: http://robrohde.fastrunningblog.com/blog-11-19-2011.html

Andrea - thanks so much that is so nice of you to offer! My parents live in Saratoga so I'll probably stay there tonight. I'm excited to explore some paths along the lake tomorrow.

Jake - Wow thanks for pointing that out. I really never felt like I was pushing the pace which is a really good sign.

Kam - I remember reading that about Rob and it totally sounds like something I would do. Infact I was thinking about it on my 26th birthday (march 17th) but I decided thats a little to close to Boston. I also think about running a marathon on a track everytime I'm there. 105 laps around the track. :D
