Short-Term Running Goals:

I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

What a fun run! Julie came to my house and we headed down to Provo. It started at 6:30 and the temps were perfect. We started at the trail heading up Provo Canyon. We had just under 6 miles of consistent uphill then turned around and headed back down. I lost my signal a couple of times on my garmin so I'm not going to put my mile splits on here. Kelli and sis-in-law turned at the wrong spot and Rachel and me followed so we were about .1 short at the end but no biggie. AP was 8:10. I felt surprisingly good for how crappy I felt this week. Thanks Michelle, Josse, Marion and anyone else that helped. SOOO much fun!

Hey, great job! So how many hot pink chicks were there? Any hot pink chick guys? Sounds fun.

Nice meeting you today. It was a fun run and get together. What was it with the losing signal? I experienced it too and have never had that happen in that section before.

There were around 30- 40 I think. There were 4 guys but Tyler S. was the most awesome with his hot pink singlet and light pink bandana. It was lots of fun.

From Burt on Sat, Jul 11, 2009 at 14:04:54 from 98.167.151.26

Wow! That many? Tyler S is a cool dude.

You did great Michelle!!! Sorry for leading you astray, we needed more pink cones telling us which way to go!

Hope you had fun!

From Shimelle on Sat, Jul 11, 2009 at 14:18:17 from 75.162.116.13

I had a blast Kelli! Thanks for asking me. I can blame the wrong way on you but I would have gone the same way so I'll just blame it on you:) Great job yourself!

From Kelli on Sat, Jul 11, 2009 at 14:21:13 from 71.219.89.21

Just wanted to be done...the shorter the better! I figured I made up for the lack of a tenth of a mile when I stood on the corner waiting for someone to ask which way to go!

Wasn't that fun! It was great to meet you ! I hope that becomes a tradition. I had a blast, Maybe next time I can run the whole thing :)
