I ran at a pretty good, steady pace this morning.  It felt pretty nice out too.  Brandon just informed me that it is suppose to get hot out this week before it cools down next week.

In unrelated news, I'm excited to announce that Melanie was a new little cousin, Justin Onzel Smithson was born yesterday!  I can't wait to meet my new little nephew.

Are you freakin' kidding me? Rawesome Camille! You know the saying if you can run a 10k you can run a half marathon! Thats only 6.2 miles! Are you still running the half up here? Keep up the good work.

From Camille on Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 10:22:05

Thanks! I am still running in the 1/2 marathon. It's next weekend. I'm a little worried about the course, it's pretty hilly. I guess there is one aweful climb that lasts .5 miles, and then one downhill stretch that is equally as rough that lasts .67 miles. Yikes!

Dang its the same time as SGM! I would come cheer you on if it were on a different day. Let me know if you need a place to stay! you can trash my house. Just leave money when done! lol

Oops... I misspoke. (or misread really). My race is in Payson, ARizona, not in Utah. But I appreciate the offer. My husband was talking about the marathon in Saint George yesterday, but I informed him that I was already running in an event that same day.

From Walter on Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 22:23:52

Well apparently they have two Payson's dont they! Lol See your husband is talking about SGM! You will run it next year. Registration is April 1st and thats not a joke! Remember my talk if you can run a 10k you can run a half marathon. Well if you can run a Half marathon, you can run a Marathon! See you in SGM next year baby! Rawesome!

April 1st. Wow, that must be a super popular race. I don't think I'll be participating though, as much as I'd love to. I'm hoping that by October of next year I'll be planning for a second Baby Smithson, and while I was pregnant with Melanie, the doctor did not allow me to run. :o(. Maybe this time will be different, but I guess it's always better to be safe rather than sorry.

Yeah, your pretty set when you find out your in that race. Its hard to get into. You know there is also the Canyonlands Moab half marathon in March that is popular but you have to register for it in November. Its on a lottery also and its scenic red rock canyon walls that you run through.

So your working on #2 already huh!? Nice, gives Melanie someone to beat up! lol

From camille on Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 22:51:15

Moab is a pretty area. There is a 1/2 marathon in Sedona, Arizona in February that is calling my name. That is a very pretty red rock area.

We aren't currently working on #2, but we thought that an early to mid 2010 baby would be nice. Me and my brother are 3-1/2 years apart and I think that is too far apart.

From Walter on Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 23:04:20

Isnt Sedona close to Del Sol relay? I havnt even looked at the date that Del sol is running. I am shooting for R&R in January though.

From camille on Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 23:05:52

Yeah, it's 2 weeks before. I've been debating the R&R.

From Walter on Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 23:20:32

The R&R is a freakin blast weather you do the full or half. Fun!
