Rachel's Running Log

Hey, I saw you ran pf changs half. I did the full about 3 years ago and loved it even though i ran with the stomach flu. I would like to run the half next year. So do you know Jeff up there? If you do you are in great hands. Keep up the good work and Ill see you on the blog.

Yes Walter, I am lucky to know Jeff, he came to stay with us in AZ (winter home) to do the full marathon and he encouraged me to do the half. He is amazing and encourages so many. How do you know Jeff? I will probably run the 1/2 again next year also!

I know jeff from running with him on the Del sol relay in arizona. I got the privelege of driving with him all the way down there, and back. He is a great runner and I would love to be able to finish a marathon like he does! I saw him Saturday at the Ogden marathon also. Thats nice to have a home in Arizona, I would be in heaven if I could run during the winter down there! I grew up in Coeurda'lene and love Idaho! Im doing the vikingman in burley in two weeks. I like vacationing in Redfish, warmlake, and of course lake pendderay by coeurda'lene

You should do the 10K, you are ready for it!!

Rachel did an awesome job at the PF Chang HM (and is a very gracious host!).

Walter, don't even sell yourself short as you are a great runner (doing that well at Ogden after running hard at BOSTON!).

Rachel, you should have seen this guy run at Del Sol even being sick...he was smoking fast!

So is running while sick a recurring theme with you, Walter?

Its that whole pushing your limits when you think your limits are pushed and you see that you pushed your limits a little farther, does that make sense? Ah who am i kidding, its just plain craziness!

Well guys, I have a tummy flu bug thing that started last night and running does not sound fun! I wanted to get one more longer run in before showing up on Sat. morning, hopefully I'll feel better by then.

Walter & Jeff, the relay results were just amazing and crazy, you are both awesome! Didn't you start several hours later then ended up kicking butt? Walter, you possibly ran in our beatiuful az town, Ftn. Hills - I was away that week but would have loved to cheer you both on by the Ftn. and host the whole group, maybe next year!?!?!!

Yes that would have been awesome. Maybe next year we can get you to run it too? I definately had a blast down there with temps in the high 60's coming from slc temps of 15! It was so nice to run in a singlet all night long! I ran at 8pm, 3am, and 9am. so two of my runs were in the dark! We started at 6 pm and by the time I ran my last leg, we had passed everyone. I think we finished around noon or so. If you ever have a chance to do one, you have to try it! I seem to do good when im down there. Its probably on account of the desert running and its lower elevation. Yes definately you have to run or host it next year.

Rachel, I know an IF team for the Wasatch Back relay in June that is looking for runners??!!!

The gals I know on the team are really nice and you would have a great time (there are a lot of us FRB'ers running it as well so you would fit right in!).

Yeah, you should do it! I didnt know Jeff personally only from his time and from him wizzing by me in ogden last year and now we are buds! between this blog and running with him ive been able to put personality and face with a time and number!
