6.2 in 43:25 on the 'mill. Funny, but I think thats a 10k PR .( I know its on the treadmill so it doesnt really count :) ) Wasnt trying, just wanted a good 45 minute tempo run. It's been a long time since I've really cared about pace, ususally I just run how I feel, and half the time with no watch. I was suprised to feel that tempo pace on the treadmill at 6:50, usually it's like 8:00. Nice to see the work put in this summer paying off.

Congrats on a new PR. Your race schedule for 2010 looks like a lot of fun. I will be joining you at a few of those. Buffalo Run and Logan Peak for sure. I will also be running my first 100 miler next year, but I am planning on running the Pony Express 100. Best of luck next year.

Just read your Chimera race report- sounds like quite the adventure! Looks like I'll be seeing you at a few races in 2010.

Twinkies,

Thanks, kinda pathetic I know on the PR, I have only raced one 10k, like 6 years ago. It will be good to see you at Buffalo Run. What distance are you doing? I am debating between Logan peak and maybe?? The Big Horn 100!?? Dont know if I'll be ready, but I think I am going to sign up and see how the spring goes. Glad to see you are going for your first one hunderd this year as well. best of luck. see you in a couple of months.

Jon,

Chimera was a blast. The weather made it quite the adventure for sure. I am also thinking about doing the Big Horn in June . . .after reading Davey's race reports . . it sounds like such a great course...tempting. Your Logan peak time last year was crazy fast! I think if you skip defending your record to do Big Horn it will be safe for another year. I read your '09 recap, great job! It will be great to see you take that speed into the longer races! Hope that hip heals up fast.

I will be doing the 50 miler at Buffalo Run.
