Personal:

I started running at age 40 (14 years ago!)  I am married to Harold, he is a super supportive husband and we enjoy running and biking the trails along the Wasatch Front together. Between us we have 7 children and 9 grandchildren.  I am really having fun trying new races in scenic parts of Utah, I am a newbie in the ultrarunning world, I am slow, but love everything about it!  I have a lot to learn,but I am enjoying the journey.

Just a quick 3 mile run today, not in the mood to do anything more, if Maurine is feeling up to it we are doing 13 miles tomorrow on the Parkway, she has been feeling a little sick, so if she bails I am okay, I haven't had a break in running for a while.  Today is Maurines Birthday, everyone wish her a Happy One!!!!  We are celebrating by going to see Twilight tonight and then going to the Asian Star!!!!   Party!!!!!

 3 miles  34:46 min.  Avg. Pace 11:38 

5.9 from goal ( not too shabby for going out to dinner last night!!) Tonight will be harder, Asian Star is one of my favorite places ever!!!

Everyone have a wonderful weekend, and all you injured  and sick ones ( Crap! I think that is all of you!)  Be careful and stay safe and run smart and be healthy and I love you all!!!

I was kind of hoping I'd run into you at Chili's last night.

Good job running today. I am probably going to be ready to run tomorrow.

See you this afternoon!

What? YOu were there?

From tarzan on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 11:24:45

Yep - between 6 and 7

From leslie on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 12:03:48

Not the one by the E Center? You were probably at the Fort Union. What did you get? I had the guiltless chicken sandwich, it was just so-so, but I was so happy I stuck to my plan! I have been on an 8 day streak of good nutrition, that is a record for me! Not one bad food choice. It is insane how the weight come off so slowly .1 or .2 a day. Oh, well, it is moving down and I am still real motivated and I feel skinnier!!!

From Smooth on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 13:00:29

Leslie -- How come you get to go out to dinner two nights in a row? Nice run. Yes, I'm one of those "resting" ones. I WILL run tomorrow on the Lehi JRP with Wendy and John. Which parkway are you and Maurine doing?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Maurine!!! Have a great bday dinner and movie tonight, you two. I'm so jealous!!!

From Kelli on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 14:01:28

I wish I could come tonight and tomorrow!!! Dang it! Oh, and Britta LOVED the movie! Finally a good report.

So, I ate like a saint, and did not even go out and I gained weight. 6.4 from goal. Bummer. i want to throw the scale out the window, and I should!

HAVE FUN TONIGHT!!!! I will be waiting for you report!

From leslie on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 14:01:44

Smooth, our plan was to do the SLC parkway, but if anything changes I will get back to you, it would be fun to start out together.... What time are you starting?

From leslie on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 14:08:36

Kelli, you made me laugh, here is true confessions, I got up the scale was 6.something, so I ran on an empty stomach and the scale was still 6.something, so I fussed around the house starving to death and waited until the scale said 5.9. Now you know, I am a freaking physco case!!!

From tarzan on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 14:22:07

She is a psycho - I can verify that.

From leslie on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 14:45:00

And that is why we are such good friends!

From Smooth on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 15:30:08

Leslie -- We're leaving at 7:30, so we should be there to start at 7:45. Love to have your company.

From leslie on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 15:48:05

Okay, I will check with Maurine, don't wait for us, but you never know we could show up! thanks! If we don't come have fun and tell Wendy hi!

From Kelli on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 17:56:03

I am psycho, too!! If you only knew how many times a day I weigh myself, and how I let it dictate my mood (very ornery today). And, if the weight goes up, I get ticked and eat. So not good. Oh well. WHATEVER!!!! I just need to learn to be happy with who I am (and throw the darn scale away).

You guys have fun tonight and tomorrow morning. While i am trying get my measly 3 miles in I will be thinking of you guys!

From kungfublonde on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 18:06:05

That is exactly why I don't own a scale. I don't think I ever have. It's too easy to obsess over. I know if my pants fit and how my butt looks in my undies. That's my scale. I have no idea what I weigh.

When I went to the doctor yesterday, she said I had lost two lbs. (I always ask her not to say the number out loud). So apparently sucking in your stomach no the scale helps :)

From Kelli on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 18:13:10

Rachel, I will try that! I do try to go with how my pants feel, really! But, when you weigh yourself 80 times a day, the pants do not speak very loudly.

From kungfublonde on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 18:19:35

throw your scale away. it is not your friend. if I really want to know, i use my gym scale. but know what? I don't want to know!

From leslie on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 21:55:46

Hey Twilight was great! I really enjoyed it! It was so fun to have a real girls night out with Maurine, Asian Star was super yummy too and I am NOT weighing myself until Monday I PROMISE! Baby steps!! I agree the scale can dictate my mood and my self confidence, a terrible thing!!

From Kelli on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 22:13:06

You are back already??? So, it was good, huh? I just finished the second book today and did not care for it. I hear the next one is better and the last one is the best, but I may be burnt out. (But, I am sure I will have the other two done by Monday!)

I need ice cream! i think I am going to go get some! Hey, my son just walked in and said, "Mom, are we gonna go get ice cream?" He read my mind!

Hey you! I hope you had fun with Maurine last night! Have a GREAT day and keep n keeping on!!! :D
