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 ;)

Another recovery day :)  I had to hit another car today.  It was Anna's ex-boyfriend.  I yelled at him to NOT HIT ME!!!  The poor boy is probably going to need therapy now ;)

I am SO happy that it is pretending to be spring!  I raked out a few flower beds yesterday :D  It was so nice to be outside.  I put my little adarondack set on my proch.  I think I will sand and paint it today :)  La de da!  I am so happy the snow is going away :)  (At least for today :)

It is BEAUTIIFUL out!!! I am going to spend some time in the yard too!

Hey, what are your plans a for a long run Sat.? I have a baptism in Spanish Fork at 11:00 and thought if you were doing anything early I might hook up. Just thinking outloud, and checking things out, it would be fun if it works out.

Nice run this morning!! Spring is around the corner!!!!!

Leslie- That would be GREAT to run on saturday :) I am good for anything between 10-14. 14 would be good with company :) We could go on an adventure :)

I am so excited! You tell me where to meet you, and pick the route and distance and I will be there. I can be there as early as you want. Could we be done by 10:00ish?

Have you noticed the comments are messed up on the blog???

From Marion on Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 11:43:33 from 71.219.54.89

Yeah- they seem to be on a hallucinogen of sorts ;)

I'd love to be done by 10. So 14 miles, averaging 12 mm would take us nearly 3 hours. We'd both like to be done by 10 so does 7 sound OK? I could take you on a bunch of my favorite routes to equal 14 and that way we can potty and fuel at my house and not have to carry a bunch of stuff with us. It's my new favorite way to get long runs in. It's the lazy girl way :) We can even start by having my daughter drive us up the canyon as far as we can go.

Nice run today! I still have a bit too much snow in my yard to be raking the flower beds, but it's great to be seeing mor of them LOL

From Marion on Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 11:45:37 from 71.219.54.89

Lori- I am just amazed at how much crud collects in them :(

From lesllie on Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 11:57:57 from 76.23.61.78

That works great for me. I will plan on 7:00am but I am flexible, I will call you Friday, I get the final time and place. A lazy girl long run sounds like a winner to me!

Marion, nice run and good for you doing yard work already. I feel very lazy today. I'm saving the yard work for my hubby. Shhhh, don't tell him you have time to do yard work.

You and Leslie will have so much fun running this Sat. I'm envious.

Hope you are enjoying your fun in the sun! Great job on the running.

The yard work feels SO good! I wish I had more garbage cans! I have filled 2 already and there is enough garbage to fill another 20 probably. We rake all the leaves in the fall, but darn it if there aren't a few trees worth of leaves all over!
