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.

Total Distance

3.78

My run was the pits this morning, my heel hurt like heck, so I had to run like a spaz and tip toe on my left foot, I got half way thru the run and realized I booked an early haircut and had to try and pick up my pathetic pace to get home fast.

5.7 from goal

Austrailian Pink Floyd Concert tonight!!!!!

Australian Pink Floyd????

Sorry about the run, you spaz you! That is funny! Why are we all hurting, it is no fair!?!

5.4 from goal. We are destined to get there together! We WILL be good this weekend!

Okay Kelli, this is going to be a tough weekend! Chili's tonight and Asian Star tomorrow night. If I can just hold on to my meager little loss I will be grateful, but it will be SO HARD. Good luck to us both!!!!

Next week will be worse---so we must be strong!

Amen Sister! Heaven help us!

Take care of your heel! Sounds like you need a rest day too.

From leslie on Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 16:16:41

no, just more Vit.I !!

From marion on Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 16:33:55

DArn that stupid heel! Darn it all to HECK!!! ;D

Have fun at Chili's. I can get out of there stuffed for under 10 points (usually about 6). It used to be more fun when they still had their lettuce wraps! You'll do GREAT!!!

From leslie on Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 17:10:09

Tell me....what do you order besides the wraps? I was going to get the guiltless chicken sandwich....I never go there so HELP!

I am going to go running with Paul now!!

From marion on Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 17:19:21

Fun- tell Paul HI!

I get the whole wheat bun (you have to ask for it) no sauces on it, but all the veggies on it, with the black bean burger and veggies on the side. I add ketchup and mustard to it. I really like it. The steamed veggies have a Parmesan sauce on them and are very good. So long as someone else has some fries on their plate that I can have, I am good. I usually try to limit my fries to about 3-4. The burger is HUGE and I am eating the whole time everyone else is.

Thanks for the help! I will be such a good girl tonight.

I just got back from Pauls and he wouldn't go with me. I think it is no fun to run with your MIL! Dang him. He was working on a computer program for his speech therapy. He is starting ALL over. The program shows him how to position his lips to make letters and sounds, he is really struggling, it is so hard to watch. I wish I had the ability to really help him.

From Kelli on Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 18:13:18

I always get salad with low fat honey mustard dressing and then soup. I think it is about 6-8 points total, depending on what soup you get (no creamy kinds).

From marion on Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 18:45:03

I am so sorry about Paul. The really hard thing is that his recovery is really all up to him :( We want to help so much, but in the end, he has to do it for himself and as family and loved ones, we get to do any little thing we can think of to support and love :)

Have fun tonight! :D
