Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

Keep Running and  Never Give up!

Personal:

I will write more later, I have to go meet the cousins up at Brighton.  But our average was around 10.20 We burned 1764 calories. The garmin said we did it in 2:39 but that is not accurate bc I didn't stop the garmin a couple of times when we stopped to stretch or drink or gu. I will be back soon and tell about it.

Edit: Okay Lysa, breathe..Ive been going since 5:00am and Im exhausted, my body hurts, and I just ran further than I ever have before. : ) Big Smile. We ran our usual route and when we got to 2300 E and 10000 S. we turned left and ran down Dimple Dell road. I loved this part of the run. There was shade, horses, colts, goats.. It was very cool. Then we came out at the bottom of Wasatch Blvd. and ran to 12300 S. Down the round about, along 1300 E. and then finished on Fort Street where my dad picked us up and took us home. But not before treating us to a drink at 7-11. My dad is completely amazed at what I do. He cant believe I would or could do it. {This is coming from a guy who rarely gets off the couch} But its nice to hear the encouragement from him anyway. My music was dead and I realized that at mile 3. So Stacie put hers away and we just talked the whole time. I was actually really grateful for that bc I think it went alot faster and smoother bc we could lose ourselves in conversation for awhile. Around mile 11 we were both wondering what the hell we were doing and what in the hell we got ourselves into. But once we pulled out of that lull and started to feel a bit better again, we were encouraged once again. It amazes me what the human body is capable of doing. How it almost just needs to rebel and protest and then it realizes you aren't quitting so it kicks back into gear. Pretty cool. Anyway, I know this is long, but its kind of a monumental day for me, so I have to talk about it. Happy Happy Running.

Nice job Lysa!! That is a huge milestone to reach, good job! If only Greg A. could see you now! Lol!!

btw I'm happy for you that your ipod wasn't working so you could experience at least this once a long run w/o the tunes. Sometimes though it sucks because I'll get an obnoxious tune stuck in my head for the entire run, like My shirona, or put yer shoulder to the wheel etc. :-)

ya Im sure that song pops in regularly when you feel like shirking. I was really glad it didn't work too actually, It was a nice break and I think the conversation and noise around us was a nice change. It acutally seemed to go by more quickly bc of it.

Ironic words from Greg A dont you think?

Yes. Amazing what the human body is capable of doing! I can't believe we're doing it! This morning seems like so long ago. I'm so tired right now. Amazingly, I'm not that sore, just that left foot (from Lizzie stepping on it) and just a little. Thank your Dad again for me. That was so nice of him to pick us up and take us to 7-11. I think we should try it again without music. Don't you? goodnight. and GREAT job!

Ask me tomorrow if I'm sore:)
