Amusing thought, BYU fans drunk with Glee! I love Sundays, I really feel I own this whole town when I am running. I did see two cyclists, but no runners yesterday. Do you ever just run 3 miles? I really am struggling with that number. Is there any benefit? Maybe I should do 4 on those days instead. What do you think?

Oooh, didn't hear about the Football game Drama. My boys both play in a Tackle league..they are 10 and 12 years old. So I'm kind of learning Football, but don't really watch games yet. I guess I have kind of played a prank on BYU before, I had to um..use the restroom under a pine tree at Cougar Stadium on a run. Hehe.

Sweet! Too funny. I'm sure there have been some clever ones between both teams. So are you training for any upcoming events? Moab half is open now. I've got that one planned.

Groovy pad? Nice running, bud! When is the Moab Half?

From Walter on Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 15:44:13 from 206.53.153.32

BTW Walter, I am NOT experienced. Pretty Nub to be honest. :P Groovy Pad? Your house sounds COOL. :)Mine is more like a Barn for all Neighborhood Children.

From Walter on Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 22:32:27 from 70.193.231.94

Yeah Missy, my house has 3 girls and has always been loud with screaming neighbor girls. Now the 14-16 year old boys have been hanging around our house lately. I thought it was to hang out with me but I was mis informed. lol I hope Burt doesnt spell check me. haha

From missy on Wed, Dec 02, 2009 at 23:22:40 from 207.224.208.33

Well, Burt is handy like that! Spellchecker PLUS! He's really good at all that computer JAZZ! OH, I forgot..You asked, my next race is Painters Jan. 23rd. Then a whole bunch after that, ONE at a time! Super motivated..really can't wait.

From Walter on Thu, Dec 03, 2009 at 01:34:30 from 76.27.13.75

I know it Missy! Burt is quite the computer fixer upper! I love my pic he made. He has done a couple others for some of the bloggers on here. Its awesome. I hope to be able to be up and running fast again. The past two marathons ive done have wiped me out.

From missy on Fri, Dec 04, 2009 at 01:44:30 from 207.224.208.33

Helloooo Walt. That Hot lava picture had me laughing so freaking hard. I love it! I want one of me now. LOL. Yah, you need to totally rest!! Enjoy the holidays a little..then in January go hardcore again! You will be supercharged. :D I am not resting for the holidays because I rested basically for 4 years. Ha!

From Walter on Sat, Dec 05, 2009 at 00:28:22 from 76.27.13.75

Ok the story behind my lava pic is they took my picture coming into the finish line at St. George marathon. I was very surprised at my time and was screaming! The pic is intense! The lava was a great setting to add it too. haha. Youll have to pose some awefull faces to be worthy. haha

From missy on Sat, Dec 12, 2009 at 00:52:48 from 65.100.215.90

WALT Wow, you still had the energy to scream at the end of the Marathon!? Crazysauce! I can barely stand. I still love that Picture. It's the best.

From Walter on Sat, Dec 12, 2009 at 07:59:19 from 174.23.134.41
