4.1 miles easy with two 30-second pickups, avg pace 6:49/mile.

I think I'm ready for a pretty good race tomorrow. My nose has been pretty stuffed up with all this smoke in the air, but it hasn't seemed to affect my running. Besides that I feel healthy and strong, and am excited for tomorrow. I'm excited to see how well I can run, but I'm almost just as excited to see how well the rest of the crew can go...I could easily see Ben, Jon, and Jason hitting PRs.

Good luck tomorrow! You have a pretty dang fast time for TOU half in the past. One of my favorites. Have fun.

Good luck tomorrow, Riley! We're all expecting a sub 1:05.

Bec, thanks. Yeah TOU is probably my favorite half!

Mike, I appreciate the vote of confidence, but sub-1:05 is a monster time...we'll see. I'd be ecstatic if I pulled that off.

Good luck tomorrow. I hope that you get a big PR and run your goal time.
