Today is a big fat 0.  No run today.  Here are my Top 10 reasons (excuses) for no run:

10. I already have some good mileage for the week

9.   My back has a lot of stress and is very sore

8.  I am driving to St. George today so I need some extra rest

7.  I stayed up to late last night working

6.  A diet of Diet Coke, Doritos and Jelly Beans does not produce good running

5.  I am running longer tomorrow, so I need some extra rest

4.  I have a sore throat 

3.  I hate the treadmill

2.  My husband and son have already left for St. George and so I have no one to watch my girls why I run today

1.  I am just lazy... not a very good excuse!!!

 
Happy running!!

Great list!!!! I hope you have a good time in St. George - I'm jealous.

Those all sound like GREAT reasons to me (hee hee). I think we are going to get along just fine!! As far as running in the rain tomorrow goes- I will plan on meeting at the gym for sure at 6 unless its a REALLY heavy rain. I don't mind running in some light rain, but I'll avoid the downpour, lightning, etc...So I guess we'll kinda have to play it by ear. Drive safe! And hopefully you got my cell # that I "privately" emailed you?

Hey! Don't know if you're checking the blog while in St. George- but all this rain is making me want to sleep in tomorrow. But if its not pouring in the morning I WILL be at the gym!

Great run today! It was really fun meeting you! I couldn't resist the urge to drive the run afterwards. It was 5.4 (I had to drive around the park- where we ran up the rocks- so I actually clocked a little longer, but then subtracted a little since I had to drive around the park) I think 5.4 is pretty accurate, that would give us 10:11 pace which I think is great considering we had GREAT conversation and ran up Foremaster!! Enjoy your time in St. George and hopefully it'll stop raining later today so you can enjoy the SG sunshine!

Guess who- sick of me yet? I just saw your 1/2 marathon PR- it rocks! My best is 1:59 and 1:50 is my GOLD goal for one. You are already there- an inspiration!

It sounds like you had a good run this morning. You wouldn't believe the snow here. You'll have to call and let me know how things are going. Matt is at Target buying the boys snow boots and a sled - Briggs is dying to get outside - can't you just see him??? Talk to you soon.
