uh-oh, here is what I have discovered. If I run from my house around town, rather than going to the gym I can sleep in even more because I don't have to take the time to drive to the gym and drive back so I can get ready for work. Life is so good.

But I think I do need to find a balance and get to the gym so I can do weights. I can tell my legs really need to lift. But I can't even explain how thrilled I am that I am actually enjoying running outside. This has never happened before.

My left leg is totally bugging during and right after the run. It's my ITB which I've always had problems with and then also my ankle has been being a brat. bleh.

On a side note, who wants to know how I keep track of how long I've been running? I have my ipod and then at the end of the run I add up all the lengths of the songs to see how long it took me. ha ha I need a garmin, or atleast a stop watch. Hey, I'm new to these running shenanigans.

My avg pace is 8:20

Have a good day!

PS Does anyone run in a group that meets in Provo/Orem area?

LOL! I hope they're good songs.

Nice pace, and I love how you keep track of running time!

From Merri on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 14:12:13 from 207.88.76.69

Hey I have an old watch you can have. :) And you can also go to mapmyrun.com to see how far you went. :)

From Merri on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 14:12:40 from 207.88.76.69

PS Costco sent me a coupon for $20 off garmin & hr monitor for $149.99 :) It's yours if you want it. :) :) :)

From Merri on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 14:13:10 from 207.88.76.69

what if you run to the gym lift weights and run home? how many miles to the gym?

From Leandra on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 14:17:12 from 67.41.234.90

Merri, that's what I meant to do today. Snoozin for a bruisin. I'm going to do it on Saturday so I can see how long it takes me and make myself wake up on time. It's about 4 1/2 miles roundtrip.

From Leandra on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 14:17:51 from 67.41.234.90

Well, I tried to post a funny picture. Can't get it to work. It shows the picture in the preview but when I publish my post it's not working. oh well. just know it was funny.

From Merri on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 15:58:22 from 207.88.76.69

How did you find that picture of me and Burts first date to the Halloween dance??? :) We were the hottest kitty & puppy there. It was weird that burt was older but yet so much shorter than me. The leotard is what started me in the direction of becoming a Suns dancer.

From RAD on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 16:08:51 from 67.166.99.8

I love all the pics you guys are posting lately! They keep me laughing.

Strange coincidence...my gym is 4.5 miles round trip from my house too! Only problem is I'm uphill from the gym so I hate running there working out and then attempting to run uphill home!!!

Sorry about that stupid ITB acting up again. As you know I've fought that thing for a LONG time! I finally went to the PT - so far so good. I would definately recommend it!

omg thats so funny leandra, oh dear, I call Burt a Bunny as well LOL

From Burt on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 16:27:35 from 68.76.197.194

Glad we can keep you guys entertained. RAD, you said you'd never seen them all hanging out like that before. I think the key words "hanging out", if you know what I mean.

From Kelli on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 18:38:33 from 71.219.74.247

I hope you can keep them coming as it is quite entertaining!!!

Put your picture on photobucket first and then you can post it here using the URL.

Hoe on earth is Burt getting pictures of you guys???

From Merri on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 20:02:31 from 207.88.76.69

Sojourners and Crackodawn are two clubs that used to...

From Leandra on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 20:10:10 from 76.27.81.221

Merri- Crackodawn? I don't like the sound of that. Say no to crack anything. Especially when it deals with the hour of the day.

Kelli, thanks for the tip! I tried posting them on my blogger and it wouldn't work. I'll try photobucket tonight. And I don't know how he's getting the pics...it's kinda creepy. just kidding. Bring on the photoshopped pics!PS how did your cookies turn out today?

Burt- Bring on the pics. Has anyone named all the girfs yet? (Girf= short for girlfriend. Can be used interchangeably with girl.)

From Burt on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 20:42:03 from 68.76.197.194

She's not really a mystery girl since she's left a comment right here on this strand!!!

From Kelli on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 20:47:30 from 71.219.74.247

The it has to be Sam Dean Howard form the UK. That was my guess, but I was not sure!! DO I WIN??????

From Kelli on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 20:48:20 from 71.219.74.247

Oh, and the cookies turned out GREAT! Do you want some???

From marion on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 23:01:54 from 71.219.54.130

I want one Kelli! I need more sugar cookies. "Hi. My name is Marion and I am addicted to sugar cookies with FROSTING!!!"

Hi Leandra! there are lots of runners up your way. I wish I was fast enough to run with you myself. Is St George going to be your first marathon? it was supposed to be mine, but I did not get in and UVM looked SO inviting :)

From Leandra on Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 00:07:19 from 76.27.81.221

Kelli, that is so fun that you won a prize of cookies from yourself! Great job and yes I want one! I don't even need to know the flavor, I know I'll love it..... sugar addict? yes.

Hi Marion, The fact that you're running a marathon on saturday tells me you'd kick my butt running any day! I didn't get into st. geo either! well, okay I chickened out and didn't register. So hobble creek will be my first half and then maybe (MAYBE) I'll do top of utah with my sister Merri. Maybe. :)

From marion on Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 09:41:17 from 71.219.54.130

Oh, so you and Merri and sisters :) COOL! No way, you are smokin fast! Hobble creek is going to be so much fun! You will love it :)
