Welcome to the Ujean Fit Club Mark. I really enjoyed running with you and Matt on Monday. Since I had already run five miles in the morning I was only planning on running a mile or two with you guys but nearly six miles later I was still enjoying it. Lets keep in touch! Bob Anderson

Congrats to Shari Mernett who worked out and posted each day last week. She won our drawing and wins $50 cash. If she had been a 2-star or higher member, she would have won $100. Post your workouts...just takes ten to do it daily for us to do a drawing! Bob Anderson

Rich,What would be the conversion in seconds for a 5 mile time to 8km based on a 5:15 to 5:30,5:40 pace. Want to add to my top times list which is based on 8k. Thanks,Bill Dunn Bill Dunn

Bill, it is roughly 9-10 seconds. If you ran a 5:15 pace for 5 miles your time is 26:15. Your 8k equivalent is 26:06. At 5:30 pace your five... more

I keep thinking back go my 25:45 five miler. That was a 25:36 8k. How did I ever do that? I am like you Bill. Way more fives.
Dave Rhody Interview No. 20 Tuesday, 2/21, 2012 3:33 pm
Sometimes runners including myself take it for granted that the race we are running is going to be measured and timed correctly. Plus we want everything else that is going to make our experience a good one. It is what we expect these days. Your races are enjoyable to run and I look forward to the next one. Thanks for telling us about the man who makes it all happen... Bob Anderson ... more

Not sure why my time at the Chinese New Year 10k is so different from what I saw on the finish line clock. I did not start my Garmin correctly so I am going to need to adjust my time to the "official" result.

After delivering the mail, i cleaned a house for 4 hours , then after dinner we went to the gym for racketball and then also walked fast on the tread mill and also did the step machine!

Rolled out of bed and made my way out. To be honest with you guys I have not been really focused on my running this week and only had time to get the mile in. Running this week has really been difficult just because it seems to me like a chore, I have to do it. I dislike the fact that it has to be that way and I hope I can slow down my busy life enough to have running as part of my happy routine.

Glad to hear that you are already feeling that you have more energy...running does that!!!!
