Total Distance
3.00

3 miles in 34 minutes, not too bad.  I really need to get a longer run tomorrow evening.  Let's see I'm mentally feeling better, there is no more vegas weight so it's just focusing on hobblecreek now.

I will do another 1.5 pushing kids to park in the afternoon.

Great run! I am SO going to come to Hobble CreeK to cheer you guys on! I'll be in a green, yellow and blue tie dye shirt with an FBR sign.

Oh marion that sounds lovely!! I can't wait!! But you do know it's FRB right;) I will look just like my picture. My singlet is bright green/yellow and says runloco :)

Leslie do you want to do an evening trail tomorrow or wednesday?

From marion on Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 11:49:59

Yes and no- Ihave had FBR inmy head and apparently my head is a little dyslexic. Oh and I can 't spell either ;)

From Laurie on Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 11:55:49

I do it too!!! I love to see other switch it also. I would spell better if I actually used spell check :) and did you notice my comment, hey leslie want to run tomorrow or wednesday? Tomorrow IS wednesday, so I meant thursday......hand to my forehead, duh!!!

I just emailed Maurine, she is meeting me at my house at 5:00p, so if you can join us, meet us at my house at 5 or Einsteins at 5:10. Let me know if that will work for you. I think Maurine wants to do 8-10, I will be lucky to get 6. Yahoo! An evening run with the gals!!! Marion, you should come on up, you could hang back with me while we baby our injuries!!!!

From Laurie on Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 13:38:16

I need to find a babysitter but I don't think it will be a problem. I'll let you know.

From marion on Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 14:09:07

Ooooo that is SO tempting! What is the address? I might be able to work it out :) Oh crap (not really) I work in the family history library until 6 on thursdays. Bummer.

Which of ya'll are running Hobble Creek? I am going for cheerleading purposes.

Nice job on you run today. The tri was just not a good day for running. Keep up the great work sweety.

From tarzan on Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 17:30:26

Good job focusing on the positive, Laurie! See you on Thursday.

From leslie on Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 21:45:15

Marion, if you can sneak out early come join us! Do you work at the Family History Library in SLC? Do you volunteer?

From marion on Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 23:31:21

I wish I worked up there :) I volunteer down here in the Payson FHL. I am a Family history FREAK!!! It's more addictive than running :D

From leslie on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 09:19:21

Another side of Marion! That is very interesting, I keep say "one day"... I bet it is addicting, finding bits and pieces about your family and trying to put it all together.

From marion on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 09:47:53

When you are ready, Les, I am here for you and your dead ancestors! ;) Family history pretty much ROCKS!!!

From laurie on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 18:27:29

I'm going to bail on the trail run tomorrow. I'm sad but chris' cousin is in town for a conference and I happened to be at the same one......and they just moved here for new mexico and he hasn't seen her in 6 years so they are coming over for dinner tomorrow.

Keep me posted for other runs though!!!

From leslie on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 19:16:21

Hey, you have fun with your family,and we will definately keep you posted!!!

From tarzan on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 20:22:22

Have a good time with your family. We will miss you on the run.
