This was just a couple friends doing a training run but I need a good race simulation to give me some confidence going into Boston.  I wanted to run between a 1:30-1:31.  We did the Provo river half course, warming up 6.7 up to the girls camp with an avg pace of 8:37.  Then took a gu and potty break and started into the half marathon.  This little race consisted of Julie E, Melody, Rebecca, and myself.  I expected them to be faster than me, this has been the trend and they were.  But I was really happy with my time,  I was quite tired on the way down from the girls camp but actually felt better when it flattened out.  Was also happy I could get some sub-7 at the end. 

splits-6:37, 6:46, 6:50, 6:41, 7:08 (flattens out on the path, get a drink and go through some snow/ice patches), 7:01, 7:17, 7:43  (headed back up the road by bridal vail for the last part of the last mile and most of this mile), 7:11, 6:57, 7:08, 6:57, 6:54.

Cooled down to the car .5

nice job, josse. it sounds like you are right where you want to be heading into boston! we passed you about a mile from the bottom of the canyon and you looked really good -- smooth and in control.

Great job today! Perfect timing for the "simulator" - just over 3 weeks out... it seems like a lot of us had this plan for the weekend. You are looking good for Boston!
