   We already have 7 tenative relay member for the Las Vegas Ragnar Relay October 9-10, 2009. Mel (kodi), Sue, Wendy, Shaun, Myron, Richard and me. This is going to be a blast! I can't wait to hear about Mel's experience coming up with the Utah Ragnar. He'll be able to give us all some great advice, I'm sure. We still need 5 more team members so check out the events website http://www.ragnarrelay.com/lasvegas/index.php and let us know!

   I'm in depending on three things. 1. how much fun I have next week at the Wasatch Back, 2. Whether or not it's a good idea one week after St. George, 3. The budget. :-)

   I want so badly to do this relay but can't because I will be in California that weekend running the Long Beach Marathon. You will have so much fun; relay races are a blast!

   Gina, Until I started running St. George marathon, Long Beach was my favorite and for several reasons. It was my first marathon (1983), it is my PR marathon (1986) and I ran it nine consecutive years. Back in the days I ran it they held it in Feb, changed to May when LA started then suffered with different dates. They quit holding it for a number of years then started it again with the October date. Just what you really wanted to know. You're a lot faster than I am but maybe we can co-ordinate some of our training since St. George is only one week earlier.

   All of you should do St. George!!!!!
   Sue, doing more than one or two a year comes down to 'Why are you doing this?'. Some, like me, just do them because I enjoy them, others only want to race one or two a year and go for broke and try to PR. It becomes a basic philosphy and is very individual.

   I have caught the marathon bug and my strategy behind 2 in the same year was to do the O.C. and "just finish" and then do Long Beach and beat the O.C. time. I am not going to lie to any of you and tell you that I wouldn't LOVE to qualify for Boston but I have a LONG LONG way to go before that happens; especially since my time is 3:50. Yes, at mile 21 I was wondering what the blazes I was doing out there but I can't even describe to you all the feeling of crossing that finish line. The pictures of my finish show me smiling....actually laughing. True, some may have been delirium but I was happy none the less. Besides, I don't know if I told everyone that my New Year's resolution was to run a race a month for the entire year and "so far so good".

   Oh, and post script here.....SUE!!!! I didn't know you were going the MARATHON at Chang! You go girl, I love it. My only personal advice to you is to just keep running, run as long a distance as you possibly can. I actually wished I would have done a training run longer than 20 before O.C. Good Luck to you!!!
