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 ;)

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!  Rachel, Susanna, Maurine, Leslie and Luz!  You are all the BEST and I LOVE you all FOREVER!!!

Luz- Name that quote- "Darn you, darn you all to heck!!!"  It was remade in Madagascar II and is originally from Planet of the Apes, Charlton Heston.  Sorry- I just asked my husband and he looked at me like I am nuts for not remembering our conversation two weeks ago.  I think it is the Botox/stroke thing.

Now about the run.  I picked up Luz at 6:43 and went tot he Jordan River Parkway to meet the rest of the amazing ladies :)  Dang it is hard to run forever on a snowy windy day.  These amazing ladies made it all worth it!  I am SO pooped out.  After the run, I had 2 HUGE hot chocolates with TONS of whipping cream on top.  I am not remotely exaggerating the HUGE whipping cream thing.  It was obscene, but GOOD!!!!

I am going to go watch Marley and Me in bed.

Thanks for the great run, I could never have done that alone! I am pooped too!

From Amber on Sat, Apr 04, 2009 at 15:11:10 from 64.255.88.143

Great Job on your run in the windy/snow,thats amazing! It sounds like you have such great running friends, , , and any run ending w/ lots of whipped cream can't be that bad! :)

Wasn't quite ready for 17--but I'll tell you what, I never would have done those 15 today without you (or found my way back to the car).I am so grateful for running pals! I'm totally sticking with the lady who carries whipped cream in the car. Thank you so much for inviting me. I had more fun this morning than I've had in a long time. You're the epicenter of good times. Thanks again!

Oh yeah, Planet of the Apes is not quite on par with Citzen Cane, but hey! You figured it out!

From Metcalf RUnning on Sat, Apr 04, 2009 at 15:19:49 from 71.219.159.90

Nice run!!! way to go!

From Marion on Sat, Apr 04, 2009 at 15:29:06 from 71.213.124.146

Luz- true- Planet of the Apes is not par, but it was Charlton Heston that was sticking out in my mind... I'm a dork!

Leslie- I needed you my friend and you were there!! Thanks!!!

Thanks Lori- Can't wait until next week for our fun!!! :)

Marion, you are a trooper!! You finished your longest run on a crappy day!! Kudos to you girl, you rock! I felt so bad having to take off after I finished :( I really miss the 'chatting' at the end, its my favorite part. Running is a social event for me :) We'll have to plan on doing it again soon, when I don't have to race off to work and can stay and chat!! Great job again, and enjoy Marley and Me - I bawled through the last 1/2 of the movie.

15 miles! Wow! You are so ready for your marathon this summer! Wow!

From Smooth on Sat, Apr 04, 2009 at 16:16:15 from 71.36.85.29

Marion, YOU ROCK!!! Not only did you do 15 miles, you did it in snow, wind and slush!!! You can do anything now, may be not the heat. But I'm sure we'll get plenty of that, we're red HOT pink chicks afterall. I had such a fun time. I never knew hot chocolate could be that good with "obscene amount of whip cream". Thanks!!!

K, I read that Good Buzz from Fridge Wisdom. I'm gonna stock up on latte powerbar gel, I had no idea red bull was good, so may be I'll have to get that for post-race run. I guzzled about half a gallon of chocolate milk between last night bedtime drink and today's post run. I will stay away from coffee so I can be honest when my hubby interviews me for my temple recommend. THANKS again for running with me this morning. You're a GREAT friend. I can't wait to do your very FIRST marathon in June. You're gonna be AWESOME!!!

From Maurine/Tarzan on Sat, Apr 04, 2009 at 16:25:40 from 97.117.61.168

You rock! That whip cream was the best part of my day! Thanks for running with us. You are going to do so great on the marathon!

From Marion on Sat, Apr 04, 2009 at 17:12:16 from 71.213.124.146

Ok girls- I have been crying my eyes out for 20 minutes! That movie ripped out my heart! Our sweet Willie is buried in our front yard under a maple tree. Molly is under another tree. I am going to go cry some more.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS MORNING!!!
