I saw (and got passed by) plenty of grey runners in both runs! Not sure, but Fiesta Bowl half is always same time of year in December, And if you run PF Changs next year, come on and join Team Diabetes!

I ran the P.F.Chang half in about the same time as you did in the Fiesta Bowl. I did 9:00 pace through 8 miles and then fell apart. Lots of walking the last 3 miles. Legs were toast. Didn't train properly. I ran Fiesta Bowl years ago ('70's & '80's) when it had the full-marathon. Ran under 3 hours 3 times, but now I'm and old fart (55 yrs.). Need some motivation. Mind says "yes", legs say "I don't think so - you're not 25 anymore!". Do you know when the Fiesta Bowl half is next year (2008)?? I'd like to get under 2 hrs. next time. By the way, I'm a diabetic (3 yrs.). Running keeps me healthy. So does a better diet (cut down on the sugar and fats). Glad you have this blog. Keep up your running. Alan.

It was super cold last year (24! in Phoenix!) but the year before it was lovely. And yes, I really like freerice.com-- I found it in someone's signature on an email list, what a great concept. Thanks again for the donation Thanks J.D.! It was super cold last year (24! in Phoenix!) but the year before it was lovely.

Since you hate running at least your doing if for a good cause. I've been having my students use www.freerice.com to "donate" to a good cause recently, or at least build their vocabulary. I have quite a few friends that run in the PF Chang's and really enjoy it. Hope you have a good time even though it's starting to get cold around here.

I was hoping you were getting hooked, Alan. No such luck, huh? It's tough to run races like that while you're training for a marathon, "training through" the race. I know you missed some running days, but you ran very long on the previous weekend. You'll really taper for the goal race. The first half of the full marathon is going to feel way easier than the race was Sunday. At least it should at the right pace. Good job! Oh, well. I was hoping you were getting hooked, Alan.
