You're reminding me a lot of Rick Gaston a couple of years ago, steadily building up the miles and climbing your way up the standings from one race to another.

The "other woman" you saw running with Lainie was my wife Caroline who I had run the TRT 50+k earlier that morning. Good luck at the marathon and we hope to see you around the Tahoe trail seen. <br />Alan Barichievich<br />abarichievich@bartonhealth.orgUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11303370134472360377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-31318749008617108432009-09-14T07:14:52.940-07:002009-09-14T07:14:52.940-07:00Hi Gretchen,

It was the most enjoyable part of a very enjoyable race. If Saturday is any indication, the rest of your fall season is going to go great. Just keep smiling and running with such positive energy -- if you do that, everything will fall into place.<br />Thanks again for the great conversation and company. It was a pleasure to meet you in person.<br />All the best,<br />JohnJohn Trenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07855345630756002458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-14621567657905852912009-09-14T00:09:25.086-07:002009-09-14T00:09:25.086-07:00I just read Peter's comment after I posted min...I just read Peter's comment after I posted mine.

I bet you already have that number in your head, the minutes you really want to shave off your time. Go run that goal down! You guys do live in a wonderful place and you don't take it for granted - I can relate. Love the pictures. Getting ready for Firetrails myself. I like that race, my first 50-miler.Rick Gastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05136335498532576460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-5160091832216926002009-09-13T23:28:04.788-07:002009-09-13T23:28:04.788-07:00Daaaaaaammmmmmn you rocked this one!

Nice job on your race today!<br /><br />Peter - Sheesh, what is up with you and your high expectations of me? 7:10? I mean, as long as I'm going to aim for that, I may as well just go for 6:59. CRAZY TALK!!! But thanks for the vote of confidence. (Okay, honestly, 8:00 is kind of starting to sound like a sand bag to me too, but I hate to get cocky, you know? I could jinx myself.)Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132576974564001603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-57599676554976429552009-09-13T21:12:58.394-07:002009-09-13T21:12:58.394-07:00Great report, Gretchen, and great to see you out t...Great report, Gretchen, and great to see you out there again.<br /><br />As far as the Helen Klein goal goes, you're going to tear it up. I think your "sand-baggy" sub-8 goal is not nearly aggresive enough ;-)<br /><br />Seriously, based on your marathon times, most race predictors (http://www.runningforfitness.org/calc/rp.php?metres=42195&hr=3&min=28&sec=0&age=35&gender=F&Submit=Calculate) would have you run closer to 7:10 or 7:20, so aim for sub-7:30 to be on the safe side.<br /><br />See you in two weeks!Peter Lubbershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879965812417533648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-34193160855991452662009-09-13T20:35:26.638-07:002009-09-13T20:35:26.638-07:00Awesome photos Gretchen!
