Met up with the Heidi's this morning for the 5 mile square.  JaNae ended up meeting up with us too a little after mile 1 so it was fun to have a bunch of us out this morning.  After the weekend that I had, and the menu that came with it (Halloween, Date night, plus Sunday dinner) I should have ran 20 miles, but there isn't enough time for that on week mornings so I am just going to have to settle with 5 for today.  I felt really good this morning though and I love the weather.  There were leaves all over the ground and a chill in the air, so another beautiful fall morning.  Finished it up with a few lunges and stretches when I got home.  What a great way to start a new week and a new month. 

Avg Pace: 8:51.

Ever so positive. What a lovely report and day for you!! It is substantially colder right now, how do you feel about that???

From Kelli on Thu, Nov 06, 2008 at 15:18:21

Still on for Saturday???

From kellies on Thu, Nov 06, 2008 at 17:04:10

Yep, I was going to email tomorrow. We will meet you at 7:30 and plan on going how many miles? I was thinking 10-15 but let me know what your thoughts are since you are familiar with the trail, etc. I am looking forward to it!

From Kelli on Thu, Nov 06, 2008 at 17:07:18

We have a few people joining us (Leslie and Tarzan are the sweepers at about a 12 minute pace and they are going 15, Jon may come, and Britta is coming and maybe her husband). We can do 10 or 15! From the parking lot to the base and back is 10. Then we could head towards Utah lake for however far we want and then turn around and come back. Whatever. I am up for 15 as long as it is comfortably paced. I have gotten so used to running SLOW on the treadmill!!!

What do you think?

From kellies on Thu, Nov 06, 2008 at 17:10:49

Sounds good to me. Again, being unfamiliar with the course, I am unsure what to expect which may be better in the long run (no pun intended). I think we plan on going to the base and back and if we feel like adding on, we go ahead for 15. Does that even sound right? Bases on the course?

From Kelli on Thu, Nov 06, 2008 at 17:14:03

No, the base. What the heck is it called???

CAMP WILLIAMS.

From kellies on Thu, Nov 06, 2008 at 17:18:28

oops, based on the course, I mean.

From Kelli on Thu, Nov 06, 2008 at 17:19:59

Oh, I see. Yes, 10 is a for sure, and then you are back to your car. So, yes, that sounds right. We can get a drink and go some more, or sit in the car and eat candy while our husbands run some more.

From kellies on Thu, Nov 06, 2008 at 17:20:09

Oh, so the base is Camp Williams, so we could just run past that and then turn around when ready? So, if we decided to go out 6 then turn around, or 7 then turn around, etc.... I assumed you meant there was literally like a base, where you had to turn around. I am a ding a ling, I have no brain, sorry about me!!

From Kelli on Thu, Nov 06, 2008 at 17:22:10

Okay, yes, or we could do that. But we would have to run on Redwood road. The trail ends and about 4.85 miles (we just ran until we hit 5, didn't even make it out of the parking lot).

From kellies on Thu, Nov 06, 2008 at 17:24:57

Okay, I am just going to follow your lead. I like any idea, including the one about sitting in the car and eating candy. However, after seeing how well you are doing with your running, yoga, aerobics, etc. you are actually entitled to sit and do that. What excuse do I have?? NONE!! I stink lately and am starting to really feel it. I need to be better! Okay, enough of that serious talk. Again, I am just following your lead Saturday, I am your slave, I will do whatever you ask of me :). Wow, hope that came out right!!

From Kelli on Thu, Nov 06, 2008 at 17:28:49

Well, it made me laugh!!

Okay, so my 3 year old gets to go to my sisters because we are going downtown with our YW for some broadcast that we get to be a part of (I do not even know what it is). Anyway, she has been nagging me to go all day. I keep telling her it is not time yet. She just came and told me that she will give me all of the money in her wallet if I will take her to Tanner's (my nephew) right now. How cute is that? She even gave me the Cinderella wallet with all of her pennies!!

Alrighty, I am off to pick up my kids from school, then I have to try to make myself beautiful for this broadcast (that just means Sunday dress, I do not believe in beautiful). LATER!!!!
