I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

I REALLY want to run TOU, but I know that it stupid, but I REALLY want to do it!  I truly did not believe in the "Marathon Bug" but I have it!  I am sick with fever and the only cure is MORE MARATHON!!!

I'll be ok.  I think I will feel better this week when I am running again and trying to train for this Triathlon in September.  There is one in Day Break on the 19th that will fit into my race schedule better than the I Can Tri in Sandy on the 12th.  I need to put a bit more thought into the matter.  The Sandy one is in a pool.  The Day Break is open water. I have decided. I am going to do the I Can Tri in Sandy.  It is 1/2 of the swimming and less biking than Daybreaks.  The pool swim is the kicker though.  I will do this one and then next year try another, longer distance sprint.

I need to look up some training schedules for sprints.... I just did, they are boring.  I will stick with my new modified plan :) 

Monday- Run 5 mi tempo

Tuesday -3.5 mile run w/ 20 min swim

Wednesday- bike30 minutes, run 6 miles

Thursday- bike 90 minutes, run 3.5

Friday- swim 55 minutes

Saturday- long run, 10, 13, 10, 15, 10, 13...

I have also decided that I am going to do the Speedy Spaniard 10k July 24h and run the 5k at Onion Days.  I want to beat my time last year. :)

OH oh, super excited.  My running buddy Kim is going up to girls camp with me this week and so we can run up on top of the Mt Nebo Loop :)  I have always wanted to do it, but have never had another runner to go with me.  I am SO excited :)  I hope I can convince her to get up EARLY and go for a little bit of a long-ish run :)

Have a GREAT week.  Girls camp will be tons of fun.  All three of my girls are going this year.  I love girls camp!

I'm glad to hear you are still excited about running. Have a great week at Girl's Camp.

I'm going to hobble upstairs again and lay flat on the bed. It uses less muscles than sitting up does. LOL

Just give in and do TOU. It's a great race!

Maurine- hobble on sister!! Take care and lots of drugs!!!

Jon- Get thee hence, Satan! ;D My SIL is running it for her first and everyone keeps saying how beautiful and well organized it is. I have to chill, and next year I can do two :) I am so new to long distances, that I am quite sure I will bust myself all up... ooooh but it is SO tempting :)

TOU? I think Marion's going coocoo!

I camped at Payson Lakes last year and ran up the Nebo loop, but was so frightened of bears (it was dawn) that I eventually chickened out and did several loops around the big Payson lake. I think having a buddy is the way to go.

Michelle- It is SO beautiful up there!
