Way to get up early Marion! I'm being lazy and sleeping in this week.

It sounds like you're feeling pretty good post race. That's great!

Have fun on your 20 miler on Monday. Just try to relax and not stress about it. You've got that distance in you.

20 miles at 6:00am? You Rock!

Early morning runs are the best!

From maurine on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 11:53:15 from 63.255.172.2

I guess I know your answer now.

Good thing I have a rude neighbor waking me up at 4 a.m. each morning - I will be up in time for the run on my DAY OFF :(.....

How are the legs today?

From Merri on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 12:06:11 from 207.88.76.69

I am thinking about doing 20 this Saturday. I might join if we're around...memorial day camp out conflicting with my running. :)

From Burt on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 13:12:41 from 68.76.197.194

Marion, I haven't had to scold you for a while, but you're pushing it.

From Metcalf Running on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 14:00:21 from 207.225.192.66

Nice run today!! Have fun Monday... You will do great!

From marion on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 14:40:34 from 71.219.48.95

Burt- what did I do this time??

Merri- we'd LOVE to have you. We are a chatty fun group of girls ;)

Maurine- The legs are as cute as ever ;) They are fine and happy to be alive :) I think I am a spring chicken today. bak bak bak bak

Lori- Please tell Bill that when I made breakfast Sunday it was not nearly as good as the stuff he made us! Can I borrow him as my second husband?

RT- I really like the morning runs....once I am out there ;) I wine for a good 1/2 hour before I finally get my self going ;)

Carolyn- YOU DESERVE TO SLEEP IN!!! Love the recovery, BE the recovery!

From leslie on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 15:26:53 from 76.23.61.78

Have fun Sat!!!! You got this one in the bag!!!

From RAD on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 15:52:38 from 67.166.99.8

How fun!! You'll have to send me a map of where you're running. I'm doing the Spanish Fork 5K at 8AM, so I may be able to catch y'all somewhere along the path afterward.

From Metcalf Running on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 17:23:37 from 207.225.192.66

Marion, he will be happy to know that you enjoyed his breakfast. He was worried that he had been a bit imposing, but I told him he was just very helpful... and no I'm sorry, since I'm down to just one husband I really need to keep him :)

From Burt on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 17:32:46 from 68.76.197.194

Ha Lori! I was going to make a comment that I thought you had one to spare.

From Lucia on Fri, May 22, 2009 at 01:21:54 from 98.204.55.168

A husband to spare??? Where, who, can I have him? LOL!!!

From Metcalf Running on Fri, May 22, 2009 at 10:09:59 from 71.219.133.242

Burt... nope no spare any more, he got his new house and moved out... I have been so sad... all my princess time is gone, back to the real life of having to clean up after myself :(

Lucia, We had my husbands friend and daughter living with us for a while. He was a very helpful house guest. Did all the cleaning and cooking while he was here. But now they have moved out :( SO sad.

From marion on Fri, May 22, 2009 at 10:19:12 from 71.219.48.95

Lucia- You should come out and we will set you up with Lori's ex-second husband ;) Bill (Lori's hubby-prime) says he's a good looking guy ;) He works for UPS, so he's got GREAT legs!

I love the new pic! Good action shot! It is a new picture, right? The one at the top? because if it's not new I just now noticed it. Hmmmm I hope it hasn't been there for like weeks...

From marion on Fri, May 22, 2009 at 12:37:01 from 71.219.48.95

It's new- from Ogden ;) The finish line one had Zazoosh .. the "oo"'s.. across my boobs. It was pretty funny looking ;)

From Burt on Fri, May 22, 2009 at 12:49:27 from 68.76.197.194

This is exactly what I'm talking about Marion! You and your boobs again!

From Snoqualmie on Fri, May 22, 2009 at 12:56:36 from 67.171.56.164

I want to join you, but I seem to have misplaced my private jet. Have fun!

From leslie on Fri, May 22, 2009 at 13:07:32 from 76.23.61.78

You look lean and mean and GORGOUS!!!! A volleyball player!!!!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Fri, May 22, 2009 at 13:29:15 from 198.241.217.15

You do look great in that picture! None of my Ogden pictures came out that well.

I went to the picture site and found the one of you with the oo over your boobs. Pretty funny!

From leslie on Fri, May 22, 2009 at 13:53:58 from 76.23.61.78

I want your legs!

From marion on Fri, May 22, 2009 at 14:24:13 from 71.219.48.95

You guys are funny :)

Sno- Darn it! We need a private jet- or just a transporter so we can bean each other everywhere. Do you think there will be one in heaven so we can all run together every morning???

Burt- sorry :(
