Yea!! I made it over 20 miles this week, what an accomplishment for me.  And, I ran more than 7 miles, which is the longest since the marathon.  We (Ty and I) met up with Kelli and her hubby Scott for our date morning (rather then date night) for a nice run out on the trail behind Thanksgiving Point.  This is the first time I have ran this trail and enjoyed it very much despite the hills ( I do not do hills well) and Kelli kicked my trash.  She just blew up those hills like they were nothing while I huffed and puffed my way up them. I was tired when we got done but feel awesome now that I am done, oh and after eating the pumpkin muffin tops that Kelli brought, yummy!! I said to Kelli "Wow I could get used to this, running with good company and then goodies at the end", she spoiled us!  It was a beautiful course and great start to a Saturday morning and again, very fun to run with Kelli (Yes, our speedy hubbies left us).  Thanks for the run and the conversation Kelli :) We will have to plan another 'date morning' run here soon~

Isn't that trail GREAT!!! I really wish we had some down here! Payson has put some cement ones in, but no asphalt ones for runners! Bummer!!! fun date!!! :)

From Kelli on Sat, Nov 08, 2008 at 14:12:42

I kicked your trash??? Hmm....I did not see it that way! That was a speedy run for me, the fastest I have run since the marathon! I know hills, they are my friend, but I was HUFFING and PUFFING just as loud. But I loved running with you and could have gone all day (we should have grabbed the muffins and then just walked and talked all afternoon, I have so many stories to tell you!!!)

Until next time....too bad you are leaving next weekend, we could make it a standing date!

No race report from TEENA, I can not wait any longer!!!!!

Marion. Yes, why aren't there more trails around here? I was telling Kelli that this morning. There is one in Spanish Fork, but it isn't a very long one. I guess they assume us country folk (here in Payson and Salem) can just run on the roads. Maybe you and I need to team up and present a request to the cities? You are doing so awesome in your training and are so positive, I luv ya!

Kelli: Yes, there were a couple of times today that if I hadn't been running with you, I would have stopped and walked, but I couldn't let that happen in front of my twin sister because it would seperate us, right? LOL. I know, I felt the same way about you, we could have talked forever and ever. That is why I am excited for the 22nd, we can learn even more about each other. I am serious about this weekend. JaNae and I are going to get up and go for a long run Saturday morning, can't you come and join us?? Just fly in or something? If not, we have the Saturday after Thanksgiving to look forward to! Thanks so much for the fun run, I had a blast!!

Teena, where are you?? We can't handle the suspense any longer. Please report soon!!!

From jona on Sat, Nov 08, 2008 at 14:39:57

Good job Kellie. That is a fun trail to run.

From MichelleL on Sat, Nov 08, 2008 at 14:49:25

Does it really count as a date if you aren't running with him? I guess you still have the time in the car together. Good job running 10 miles!

From Kelli on Sat, Nov 08, 2008 at 14:49:35

I will come, just pack me in your suitcase!! I am sure all of your friends would just love to have some stranger tag along!!! But, man, running in St George right now sounds nice. Back to shorts!

From Kelli on Sat, Nov 08, 2008 at 14:53:55

OKAY----I just saw the 1st post from the Snow Canyon Half. Maybe some others will start coming in. Teena is trying to kill m by not posting already!

From kellies on Sun, Nov 09, 2008 at 21:46:30

Thanks Jon! It was a great trail and one I hope to do again soon!

Michelle: Yeah, Tyler and I really like to relive our high school days and bring the whole chase and catch game into our married relationship, so this was all part of our date morning plan :) ha ha. No, I really do aspire to be as fast as him but it just isn't happening, maybe some day.

Kelli: Come along, you wouldn't even have to cram into my suitcase. Now the question is, would you really like to come down to St. George over a weekend with 4 other 29 year old strangers? I think we better just plan another trip down there (maybe a weekend date) and so we can all get up and run together again, except for in St. George this time? You are doing painters right?

From Kelli on Sun, Nov 09, 2008 at 22:31:30

Strangers I could handle, 29 year olds on the other hand would cause quite a problem!!! I am way too mature for that, WAY!! I will be thinking of you on Saturday when I am running in the cold and you are NOT!!!

And YES on Painters. It is gonna be a regular old party!
