Hey It was great running with you today. I think it's amazing how much time you took off from last year. We all need to hookup and run on Saturdays during the summer. Thanks for the push.

You're going to kick some trash up at Bryce.

Great race, I wish I could have been up there with you guys, I just wasn't feeling it.

Nice job on the race. The training is starting to pay off.

I would guess with about 300 miles a month (double of what you ran in April) for 2-3 months you'd get up to running that course in 1:13, and about 2:30-2:35 in the St. George Marathon. If you do it for a year, the half will improve, but not by much, maybe a minute and a half, but you'll be running around 2:25 in the St. George Marathon. With 500 miles a month sustained for a couple of years you have a very realistic shot at sub-2:20.

thanks for the vote of confidence. are you sure your not talking about some other guy named Ryan? i would love to as fast as you think i might be capable of. i just need to continue to gradually increase my mileage and gain confidence. we'll see what the next few years brings. i believe that there is alot of untapped potential because i have never really ran more than 40 miles consistantly. my early success this year is probably because for the first time ever i ran during the 4 months of winter(20-25) per week.
