Nice run there especially on the .75 mile uphill. A friend of mine once said "Hills are our friends." That became my mantra when I'm wheezing and huffing up a hill. Good job for getting out there. How was the traffic on the streets where you ran. Seems like a nice block on the northwest part of Orem.

Thanks Smooth, That's a good mantra. I don't mind running hills, unless I'm out of shape, then they are hard, and I'm not liking them as much.

The traffic/streets are good. The only thing I worry about is not being seen. I think I may start counting how many times I almost get hit. Oh, I've taken to tipping my hat when someone waits for me or sees me and doesn't make me run through (behind because they pull so far into the intersection) their car.

I used to wave, but I want people to better know that I appreciate they didn't plow me down.

Seriously, Jon, why do you run so fast??? STOP IT!

Oh, and I LOVE your new title!!! That is so perfect for a run, and life sometimes!

I talked to my single friend (the one with the cheater husband who "fixed" my computer---I gotta get on that) yesterday for the first time in a bit. What a life, wow. She is having fun, but life is still rough, her x is a jerk, and dating is a pain! Anyway, I thought of while I was talking to her, because of the computer and the single life. She was saying how hard it is to be single after being married so long and i can only imagine.

Okay, enough of that!!

So FAST. HA, Kelli, I'm just trying hard to keep up with you!!!!

I understand your friend 100%. Single life, while I have only been in for a little while, stinks. At least she is having fun, and has dated.

When are you going to get to the PC? I have an extra hard drive here, you just let me know when I can help!

I will probably get to it when I get to everything else, which would be never. I really do need to get on it, it just still worries me. I do not want to LOSE anything off of my computer!!

She got divorced last February, but he moved out about 6 months before. She has 3 little kids, so life is hard, her x is remarried and does not help much. But she is DATING some, so that is good for her!

Jon, look at your splits and your avg pace!! You are FAST. I think you must be a little like Scott, and you slow down after, say, 15 miles or so???

Look how fancy you are with detail link and all! Cool dude!

nice miles:) I LOVE the new blog title! So so true!

Girl, you won't loose the data if we get that drive in there. You can move everything over to the secondary drive and then fix Windows. It will work!

I hate hearing about men that don't meet their obligations to their kids. How can they live with themselves? Another yuck is why would his new wife permit this action? SELFISH!!! Makes me sick, literally.

I know my biggest problem in running is getting out consistently and increasing my endurance. I know I fall apart late in races. I'm getting better in the shorter races. When I look at my training - # days run per week, distance run per workout/week, they prove that I need to increase both to have better longer races.

Thanks Marion. Now if Garmin wouldn't be working on their website.

Hey, I was thinking about you and our discussion we had once about having a long run with a group of people. We need to think/talk about doing that.

I will drive there, seriously! If soccer is over, I am there (and before basketball starts!)

Jon, I am afraid of computers. Plus, I hate making you drive all the way down here to fix it (we are free Saturday night???) ;o)

You are seriously speedy, I am not. BUT what I lack there I make up for in endurance. I can run all day. That is why I am so intimidated by short races. People think I am this "amazing" runner, but I really struggle for about 5 miles!

How about a halloween FRB 5k?

10k?

Marion - GREAT idea. Lets do that!

Kelli, Don't be afraid of computers, they are really pretty dumb - you are much smarter, I can't make it Saturday. Next week I can make it up that way Monday and Wednesday evenings. It isn't that big a deal to make a little drive up. I may be able to come up next Saturday during the day.

Speaking of coming up your way, do your kids go to Foothills elem? I know a teacher there.

You would do great at shorter races. I see your miles and paces of your runs, you don't give yourself enough credit for your "short game."

I was kidding about Saturday, but we will take you whenever we can have you!

My kids WOULD go to Foothills, but they go to a charter school. One son went there for Kindergarten last year. Which teacher do you know??

Novemeber 1st is a Sat. We could meet at thanksgiving point. sorof Mid way? a 10 k is great!

10k, 5k, both good, what about 15k (9.32 miles)?

I know Ruthann Taylor. I don't know her well, met her about a month ago, and have talked to her a couple times. She lives right close to the school, or Kneaders I don't remember which she said. I was thinking you lived close to there somewhere.

I'll figure out when I can come up and see if you and Scott are going to be around.

so Saturday the 1st of November? I can make it ON Haloween if that works too.

I think I can make Sat Nov 1 AM. I will know more after this Sat. My son is winding up football season. If they win Sat, they may play the following Sat, but I won't know if/ or time until Sat.

SOROF??? Does that mean something or was it a typo?

Kneaders and the school are right by each other, so she probably lives by both and she probably lives by me somewhere. I do not know who she is, though.

Nov 1st would be fun, I am game for anything! We will drive wherever.
