It's mornings like today that bring the joy of running to it's peak.  Running is very personal but it is sure nice when you get to meet up with fellow runners and meet new people and also put faces with names to those that you have talked to, etc,  it makes it feel like more of a group effort :)  This morning Michelle met with us and we carpooled up to Lehi to meet with a group from the blog.  Kyle and JaNae follwed us up as well. Thank you Kelli for putting this morning together and for all of your efforts and hard work that went into this morning.  There were several runners who went 20-22 miles, some who went 14, 13, and 10 miles.  JaNae and I ran the first 10 together but then she had to leave so Smooth and I finished up another 4 miles and called it a day.  It was a pretty casual run but a lot of fun meeting so many new people.  Hello out there to Smooth, Alan, Eric, Jose, Scott, Kelli, Tarzan, Jon, Kyle, JaNae, Michelle and the 2 friends of Kelli's from the gym (I know one of your names were Rachel, but I am sorry I can't remember the other one :( , sorry if I missed anyone.  It was so nice running with all of you today.  Thanks to kelli again for the yummy "breakfast" as the end, it sure topped the whole morning off.

WOW, you remember names well. The other lady was Heidi, my kickboxing and aerobics instructor!!

Great job today, wish we had been able to run together, bummer. I will get back there, though (I hope).

You have the cutest, tiniest legs, by the way!

Great job today, thanks for waiting for me so that I could get in 21.

Kellie,

What a fun day!! One of these days I am going to meet you!! :)

Nice run.

From Smooth on Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 23:54:26

Kellie, THANKS for running slowly with me. You DO have great legs and good memory. I can't remember names and faces for the life of me. So next time if I call you by another name, here's my apology in advance.

Seriously, it was so fun running and chatting with you. Hope to see you again soon. It's so COOL that you have a great running partner/coach in Tyler. BTW, I meant to tell you when we were running: CONGRATULATIONS for your BQ...and you were training with a new baby!!! SIMPLY AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!!

From kellies on Mon, Dec 01, 2008 at 00:34:10

Awe, I am blushing at all of your nice comments. Really, thank you so much!!

Kelli: You are really too kind. I know you are going to get all better and we will run together again, I look forward to that. Also, you are officially my new best friend regarding your comment about my legs. Thank you. However, I was thinking the very same thing about your cute little legs, so I think you ought to look in the mirror. Now, if only I could get my waste and arms to follow suit?? Hmmmm......

Teena: I know, i feel bad that I keep missing you. You need to get all better too so that we can plan the next group run and finally meet in person. Let me know when that will be and I will hire a camera crew to get it on film, ha ha, jk. I look forward to that though.

Smooth: I really enjoyed running with you and loved our visit. You are one of those people that I could talk to forever and ever. Thank you getting me out on those last 4 miles. I was really debating what to do so thank you for your ambition to go just a bit further. Thanks for the comment about the BQ, it was a very fun moment and Boston is something that I really look forward to. Also, i may have mislead you, I actually had my baby in 2007 so he is now a year and a half old. I was trying to say that I think running the marathon last year (2007), when he was just 5 1/2 months old was a little hard on my body and I am really starting to feel it the older I get. This may just actually be something I am telling myself to make myself feel better rather then facing the facts, :). But really, thanks for the run and the chat. Meeting new people while running has been a very big highlight for me!! You are AWESOME!!!

If you figure out the waist thing, let me know! Maybe not so many shakes and candy (for me anyway)???

Have a great week cute thing!

Hey, you don't wanna do a 50k in April do you? I am trying to talk some girls into doing it with me JUST FOR FUN, not for time. It is in the St George area on April 18th.

From kellies on Tue, Dec 02, 2008 at 11:18:33

Yeah, i think my sugar intake definitely has "something" to do with my waste line, hmmmm?? I will have to think about what is more important, a smaller waste, or having candies and shakes, great question :).

Honey, April 18th is the same weekend as Boston isn't it? How are you going to do that one?? Does this mean you aren't doing Boston? We need to talk~

From Kelli on Tue, Dec 02, 2008 at 12:21:14

Oh, hmmm. I am undecided on Boston. I keep waiting to win the lottery!!! It is an I WANT TO DO kind of thing, but I dunno. Scott WILL qualify this next year so we may hold off until the next year. I DUNNO!!!!

What about the 50k on Antelope Island in March?????

And, to answer the first question, treats are more important that about almost anything out there! They make us happy and all warm and fuzzy inside. I size 4 pants will not do that (well, initially maybe, but not every time you put them on).

From kellies on Wed, Dec 03, 2008 at 17:43:47

Just the long lost tuning back in to finish this conversation. Okay, so tell me more about this 50K in April. I am thinking Boston will not be an option for me this year. As much as I would like to hope and think so, I just don't think it's in the cards. So, maybe if I have something else to look forward to, I will get Boston off of my mind! So, enlighten me. Do you do all 30 miles by yourself? Is is relay, etc.

From Kelli on Wed, Dec 03, 2008 at 18:52:12

If you want to do it, I am so in!! They cap it at 250, so I am thinking we need to hurry. It is NOT a relay, but I think it would be fun to do for F-U-N, even walking if you have to here and there. It would be fun to do for time one day, but not yet!

Tell me what you think when you come back for your next BLOG visit!
