I took my Iron...and of course the lady at the health food store talked me into a homeopathic thyroid thinger. Whatever, we'll see what happens. At least this morning I didn't feel like death, per usual. Still struggleing to maintain 9-9:30's. I found three recently hatched blue robin eggs on the trail and stuck them in my pocket to bring home and show my kids. I don't know why I still do that, they think it's gross. Also, two snakes on the trail. Reminded me of the time that parakeet attacked me (I thought I was 'saving' it and it bit me). After I ran, got hooked up to go w/ Josse and Ericka and mark the course for the RED HOT PINK CHICKS half saturday next. We rock. It's going to be fun!!!!!

THANKS for doing all the work for RHPC 1/2. I hope to make it...too many kids visiting from out of state!

I think the summer heat is slowing everyone down...at least that's my excuse! :)

shoot, I will be sad :( summertime just eats up all these Saturday Mornings! I'm just glad I have it pretty free that weekend. Come if you can--but it will NOT be the same without you and I will have to cry a little.

hahaha about the parakeet.

y'all will have a blast at the RHPC 1/2. i looked into airfare to come to it, but i thought $800 was a bit pricey considering it isn't even a real race and i would likely finish last against all you speedy ladies. maybe next year!

KP you probably get a lot of scary spiders and snakes on your trails. Our snakes are tiny garter snakes that sun themselves on the pavement in the early morning....yes $800 is a bit pricy for 'not a real race'. But you will be there in spirit. However, trust me when I tell you, that I think that I will be the one coming in last. If you ever come to Utah, we can have a contest to see who can run the slowest. I just know I could win that one. But overall, it's a pretty stellar group of runners, and the ones going for that grotesque glitter chicken (the grand prize) are pretty serious business. We'll have a couple half marathon finishers in the 1:20's probably--three hours later, I'll show up.

I'm so excited to see you next week! I'm with Smooth and the heat being the culprit for the lagging! When KP comes to UT we may just have to throw her a special RHPC party!

From KP on Fri, Jul 02, 2010 at 14:32:51 from 65.208.22.25

well RAD, you didn't tell me that! i'm packing my bags now. i've got to help allie decorate her christmas tree anyways... might as well stop by and meet the others.

my goal when i come: have a bigger party then burt just had. HA!
