I ran the Tuscan marathon! Going into this thing i new I was out of shape and over weight so I really did not have any asperations about doing Well. We started off on a down grade then it went hilly. then fairly flat. around Mile 8 we ran up to the bioshere. ( more hills.) I was on pace to break my first 3 hour marathon until i hit mile 19 then i hit the wall. I could not run. i had to walk and jog the rest of the way to the finish. managed to run 3:17.

Hey Bill, I didn't know you were doing Tuscon! Great job! What you call "out of shape" seems pretty darn fit to me! Watch out everybody, the Bull is BACK!

Good job Bill. You ran faster than St. George so you should feel good about that and like you said you're still not in top shape. What happened with Steve? I didn't see his name in the results.

Bill, great time at Tucson you did good, you must be feeling somewhat better with your injuries, how was the course compared to St George I have always wanted to run it, take care and let those guns rest for now.

The pace you can hold for 19 should be sustainable in the marathon with a little bit more training. Once you recover, work up to 8 miles a day 6 days a week. Do not do long runs until you can do 8x6 without injuries or signs of trouble. Run easy on all runs.

Good job Bill. Take it easy and stay healthy and injury free going into the new year. As your base gets stronger you'll be looking for a good year in 2008- Free from injury.

Sounds like a great race to me! Way to wind down the year!

Great job, you'll get'em next time.

From MichelleL on Tue, Dec 04, 2007 at 22:15:15

Congratulations on finishing and giving it all you had. Racing and getting in shape are iterative, so this probably makes you hungry to train and go get the next race!

Great Job Bill!! I hope you are feeling better. I have ran 3 times since Tucson, feeling pretty good. Lets get out soon.
