* Met a gal out on my run! Her name is Rachel. I have seen her out a couple of times before. She is also training for SGM. Hopefully I will have a running partner now a couple of times a week. She seems AWESOME!

6 miles, AP 8:18

3 gradual uphill miles to Banded Drive (which is a road that I think may go to the new airport) and then three miles down.

6 miles, AP 7:42 to Brigham exit and back. Was hoping to run 10 seconds faster per mile like last week but simply didn't have it in me. It was 82 degrees though.

6 miles, AP 8:12, all on River Road since it was so dark. Finished my run by 6:00 a.m. and it was already above 80 degrees. It felt fine though. :-)

I know that not many people look at this blog, but for those few of you who do this message is for you :-)

As you know, two of my kiddos (Sophia and Oliver aka Smo and Sherm) have been running for several years now. Once we moved to St George they became part of a running club, Quick Feet. They have admired this club for several years when they would race against their runners at the USATF State and Regional Championships for youth. Something about these kids drew my kids to them! Not only were they often the very best runners but their sportsmanship was amazing. In fact, Sherm became best friends with two of the sprinters who were on the Quick Feet team long before we moved here. Some people thought this was surprising because the two boys whom he became best friends with were also his biggest competition. Those three together would almost always place fist, second and third in their events, and usually it was a camera photo finish with it being extremely difficult to tell which one of them had actually crossed the line first. The fun part was watching them after the race was over. They would be jump around, handing out high fives and congratulating each other as they would make friendly wagers on who the actual winner was before it was announced. Anyway, it was this kind of sportsmanship, talent, and camaraderie that made us seek them out. To make a long story short (even though it seems like I am giving you the long version) these kids come from all across St. George and surrounding areas with all kinds of backgrounds. The coach never turns anyone runner away, regardless if they can pay club fees or not. The only condition is that they must be willing to put in their full effort. This includes training 4 days a week beginning at 6:30 a.m. (since it is often well above 100 degrees in the afternoon). Furthermore, the club helps each of the runners who do not have the funds to travel to compete. Unfortunately, the club has not been able to raise enough funds to get all of the runners who qualified for the National Junior Olympics there (it is in Houston, Texas). And although I am grateful that we have the means to get our children there (as well as help some others) we still fall far short and it breaks my heart to see some of these young runners not be able to compete at this level simply because the funds are not available.

So, here is your chance. If you can donate even $5.00 it would be GREATLY appreciated!!! :-)
