I ran 6.4 with Josse and Brune. My wittle woo-woo gotta owie in her wittle paw (that's grown woman doggie-talking). So I had to leave her behind. We ran into Matt down by lake, and he turned around to run with us a bit. He had a great Boston Marathon experience and is thinking of grand slamming Utah--starting with Ogden next week. Everyone's so pumped for Ogden, and I am still kicking myself for missing the deadline. But I was still mortally wounded at the sign up time, and really unsure if I could get back to the high mileage by Spring. I signed up for the Utah Valley Marathon to make up for it. I hope it's a good experience. I just need to get 26.2 under my belt again no matter how long it takes me. But I will miss Ogden, I love the scenery there. Matt slowed us down for bit (lol), but we managed an 8:40 average (Josse says 8:36, mine said 8:43 so I compromised). Anyway, then I came home, fixed breakfast, scooted kids out the door and went back for another 2+. What a gorgeous day......Happy Spring!

Great run. I love your running tales.

My life is good, and I hate to complain, but my best moments of the day are definitely the ones on the trail....Next time we run, remind me to tell you about the Parakeet, and then there was the time a snake made me jump into the river....I love this time of year!

I'm so glad you got to enjoy the beautiful day TWICE!!! I think you're smart for not signing up for Ogden when you were unsure and UV will be good!! Nice AP, you're rockin' that trail!! Hope puppy is better soon.

WOW!! fun times :) I made your salad for dinner last night and for lunch today. I am IN LOVE! I am taking it sunday for Mothers Day. Mmmmmm....

I will probably have it for dinner tonight too :) Avocados must have something I am in need of at the moment.

I always say, if I were stranded on a desert island and could choose two foods, I'd chose avacado and mango. I pour balsamic into a halved avacado, salt it, and scoop it with a spoon. I must have been from Costa Rica in a past life. What avacado has, is the kind of fat you need to be eating. I find I crave it when I'm going low calorie (which isn't all that often).

Avocados are such a GREAT food! I am always happy to find a new way to eat them :) When I was a kid my mom made a salad, avocado, bacon, tomatoes and cilantro. I thought I had DIED and gone to heaven. She served it in the avocado skin.
