Good to see you back out running. Did you buy the Garmin Forerunner 101...like the one I loaned you for PF Chang?

Hope you had fun in Disneyland and Universal Studios and welcome back to Fountain Hills.

From rachel on Sun, Feb 03, 2008 at 23:50:28

Yes, Jeff I got the exact one you loaned me, I LOVE it!

We had a GREAT time at Disney & Universal, pretty much had the parks to ourselves not even having to get off a few rides before going again :)

The weather here has been a tad chilly but definitely perfect for running! My parents are here so I'm trying to squeeze in as much as I can. You are running a ton, wow!

Hugs to everyone and thanks to you all for the wonderful gifts in the mail... Love RACHEL

Glad you had a good time on your trip!

The Forerunner is a great training tool, expect to see improvements in your running with the feedback you get from this to tell you pace versus feel.

Yeah, I am trying to keep the mileage up to be ready for spring races. Looking forward to being back down in AZ the end of the month. We are driving down and arriving on Feb. 27, race is 28-29 and we will leave on 3/1. Are you guys in Scottsdale at this time?

Glad you got the box, all my best to your whole clan.

We are in N. Scottsdale from the 27th - March 2nd. Keep us updated when you're running through Ftn. Hills in case we are here - I'd love to cheer you all on!

Be careful on those icy roads beforehand so you don't stumble & fall. I twisted my back once from power walking on snowy roads and I wasn't able to work out for about 2 weeks afterwards.

You're going to LOVE being back in this area ~ hope to see you!

From jtshad on Tue, Feb 05, 2008 at 10:44:03

I will let you know. Right now it looks like we would be coming through Fountain Hills around 7am on Saturday, March 1.

Great job on your running, keep it up!
