The Big Robie Creek Run
You must think all I talk about is running the Robie Creek half marathon. Looking back at my recent posts, I would have to agree with you 
Yesterday, I, with a few co-workers, ran the uphill portion of the race course. We started out at Fort Boise, ran the pavement (about 3 miles), then the uphill portion of the race on the dirt road (about 5+ miles). The run went very well for me. For comparison, during last year’s race, I took 1:26:33 to make it to the summit which including some walking near the top. Yesterday’s training run took 1:18:38 - whoo hoo. Armed with this information, I had to figure out what my expected time would be given the split reading at the summit. If I am like other runners from last year that took that much time (or that little time depending on how you look at it), I can expect to complete the run right around the 1:50:00 mark.
Another co-worker of mine, one who didn’t run with us yesterday, is doing most of his training on a treadmill. While I don’t think I could use a treadmill on a regular basis (even though I can sit on a erg all day - go figure), he has been pleased with results to date, mainly because he can get an intense workout in a short amount of time.
Today’s exercise includes the already completed 100 sit ups and the planned run with the dog.
