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 ;)

The splits from Luz's garmin ( 10:10/10:18/10:28/11:09/11:06/11:49/11:01/12:23/11:49/11:50/13:01 and 12:/58 for .50)

What a FUN run! I drove to the Provo River trail and meet Luz for an 8-12 miler. We stopped to stretch at mile ~3 and I forgot to retart my garmin :( She showed me a great ham stretch that I could do on the run. It really helped that bad boy loosen up ;) I am so glad she was with me. She kept me entertained while I huffed and puffed along :) That trail is SO beautiful.

Alright- have you ever skipped rocks onto a semi frozen lake? That was the coolest sound ever! The lake was SO beautiful! I want to move into Luz neighborhood. It is cute and looks really quite and butts right up to the Provo River Trail, which is eventually supposed to end up hooking into the JRP!

Luz is so much fun and a GREAT running partner. I think we are going to try to get together more often. We want to try the Porter Rockwell trail and run down Hobble Creek. As soon as the canyon thaws, I'll try to loure Luz down to run down our beautiful Payson Canyon. It was SO fun! Y'all should come too and we can have breakfast at my house when we are done ;)

THANKS LUZ!!! It was SO great to meet you and spend a great run together. My bum is officially kicked as seen by the last splits! ;)

That was the most fun I've had in a long time....the whole reason I keep running. I posted the spits--not sure if they all match--but they are pretty close. I can't wait to run Payson and Porter--I'm in! Keep stretching...and don't forget the core work (situps) they'll keep your lower back and hips strong. Thanks for coming over to play at my house.

Luz- I have been doing the around the world core workout two times a week and the push up challenge 3. I hope it helps :)

GREAT run Marion! You are always making new friends. You are the popular kid in the high school (or, wait, are we in Jr High?)

From Marion on Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 17:08:34

Jr High my dear! ;) I was too busy with boys in High School to make girl friends ;)

Marion, sounds like a fun run with Luz. Your miles and splits are looking good. Have a great rest of the weekend.

I not able to skip stones on a regular lake, so a frozen one would suit my coordination level better.
