Total Distance

6.50

Good thing: My sister was down in my area with some friends last night so I decided to go and see her and say hello to some of her friends that I have not seen since High School. It was so much fun catching up with them and hearing about their lives. My sister always had great friends through school and it was really fun to see them all. Bad thing: Because I was so interested in the conversation with the long lost friends and enjoyed seeing my sister who I don't get to see too often, I could not bring myself to leave the event and therefore, did not get home until after 2:00am this morning leaving me with very little sleep for this mornings run, more importantly the first attempt at running since the Marathon last week. However, I actually got up quit easily and met up with the Heidi's and JaNae for 6.5 slow miles to help me break back into things. It was very cold this morning and made me realize just how fast this year has flown right by. JaNae made mention of a prior run when we were all saying "Can you believe that we have shorts on", it seems like it was yesterday and it has been almost 6 months ago, how time flies. It was great to get out and run this morning.

From Kelsey on Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 17:00:51

and I just looked at your time... you REALLY qualified!!!

Glad you were able to get out this morning. Can you believe SG was one week ago? Crazy!!

Got a question for you: what type of training are you going to do between now and Boston? I just can't decide what to do. Part of me thinks I might reduce my mileage and get some good cross-training in until about Christmas ... but I just don't know. Keep going back and forth!!

Hope you are having a great weekend! Laters!

You party animal you! Wow, I would have stayed in bed for sure---especially with the cold!

Great first run back, now what to do...

Earth to Kellie, come in Kellie!!!

I know, I know. I have slacked major on this blog and on my personal blog. I am crazy at work and not in a good profitable way. I just have had some files that are taking much longer than they should and requiring much more energy then they should. Needless to say, I have been working late and neglecting my blogging obligations, he he!! Sorry Kelli, however, I am so honored to see that you noticed!! I feel like it's been a year since I have talked to you. I have missed our talks. How are ya??

From kellies on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 00:09:25

PS. A big thanks to Kelsey for your nice comment. I appreciate that!! Thanks Kelsey!

I was wondering how the mortgage business was going right now. I have two friends who work for Wells Fargo and one is doing okay but the other one is really struggling. She is like 2 months behind on her monthly draws and she keeps having files fall through over and over---all of that work for nothing!

I am glad to know you are well and I hope life slows down some and that your files CLOSE!

I am good. I am having knee issues all of the sudden and i am a little concerned! It hurts to touch today. Scott says that is a good sign becasue it means it will go away. We will see!

Talk to you soon---we still need to have some Boston chats when you are ready! I swear to you I am going to have a FRB party at my house!!!

From kellies on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 17:20:39

Okay, also, I have to apologize to Teena, I never got back to you either, geeezzz!!! I am sorry; my mind isn't in the game. In answer to your question, I can't believe how time has flown since the big day, it seems like it was yesterday. It was 2 weeks ago today that we were leaving to go to St. George, already? WOW, TIME FLIES!! I was talking to Tyler (Coach Tyler) about what to do to prepare for Boston and he advised to run through the winter, just short miles (3-10) then start hitting high miles again first of February. So, I will most likely just do maybe 2 15 milers, then maybe 2 20 milers then taper for Boston. What are your thoughts?

Kelli: You need to take care of that knee and listen to your body. It scares me that you say "it hurts to touch", OUCH!! Load up on meds and ice like crazy, we can not have that Boston, it is unacceptable. I am going to send your some positive karma over the blog to help heal you, :D. I think a FRB party is an awesome idea!! I would have one too if you want to drive all the way down to my neck of the woods!! We should really find out who is all going to Boston and do that though, that would be so fun!! I need to start researching options for Boston (flights, hotels, etc). I will add that to my duties for the next week. I have to admit that I feel VERY blessed when it comes to my job. I work for a very small office (mom and pap shop) so we work off of referrals mainly. I have been so lucky and actually stayed pretty busy. Yes, I have had several files crash and burn at the 11th hour, but I actually had my very best month to date in July of this year while other companies were going out of business so I consider myself, SO LUCKY!! I am just crossing my fingers and hoping that my luck prevails and carries me through these tough times! Good luck to your friends, I hope that things start looking up for them! Okay, now it is off to get the kids for karate. Have a great day, it's SO NICE talking to you!!

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 17:23:53

Sure, I will come to a party at your house. It is cuter and FOR SURE cleaner!! I am so not joking, it is time to do dinner or something! Teena did not get to meet you, so we can make it a...I am not going to type that. Too many dirty minds. We can make it a triple date!

From kellies on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 17:29:17

HA HA HA, I am laughing out loud. Okay, lets do this..... lets meet up for a date night and then plan the FRB party at that time to be held prior to Boston, that work?? You crack me up!! Oh, how I have missed you these last few and ever so long days :)

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 17:35:08

Ah, I missed you, too! I have reinvented my FRB---thoughts and recipes even!!! I have been so bored I did not know what to do without you!

Name the day and the time and we can meet half way in between. I will be there. Do I sound like a scary stalker?? Teena and I were discussing how when someone moves into your neighborhood you kind of scope them out to see whether or not you might be friends. I was telling Scott becasue SO do that!! He thinks I am nuts and that I will never find a place to live that is perfect. I told him I just need Kellie and Teena to move in! There are LOTS of houses for sale (and lots of short sales). Come move in! Then I will have friends and running partners.
