Total Distance

20.50

My last 20 miler................check it off the list!!! Hoorah!!! Man, that is a good feeling!! Tyler and I got up at 4:00 so that we could meet at the park at 4:30. Tyler was meeting up with Dustin and Bill to run 23 miles. I met up with cute MarcieJ who lives in St. George and had the opportunity to ride 20 miles up the marathon course to start. Her sweet Father in Law picked us up and drove us up (what a nice man). I also got to see her friends Courtney and Heidi again and meet Marissa and Sherri so there were 6 of us total. I ran with Marcie for maybe .5 miles and she, along with Sherri and Heidi, took off. Courtney (who may just be one of the sweetest girls I have ever met and who is also 2 months pregnant :) and I ran pretty close together for the next 13-15 miles (before she took off) and Marissa and I ran the last 5 together so it was great to have some company. These were fun girls and I am grateful that I got the chance to run with them. By the time we got to the finish line (literally, the marathon finish line) Marcie has already left to go home and Tyler had went to get our car (he had driven up) so I proceeded to sit at the park and stretch, etc for an HOUR while waiting for him to come pick me up!! That part kind of stunk but that's okay, it was quiet and peaceful and I played "dodge the sprinklers" a few times!! It was a fun morning and has been a fun day down here in Sunny/HOT St. George!! Now we just got home from a movie and it's almost mid night so I am signing off and hitting the sack. Night~

AP: 7:56 :)

You know I care and miss you!!! Check in when you can!! THANK YOU for saying hello :)

Amber: I was so sad when you weren't there Saturday morning. I totally assumed you would be in the group?!? Guess we will have to meet marathon day! Thank you for checking in. I hear all sorts of good things are in line for you come marathon day. I went in and bought some shoes from Steve Hooper and he told me that you have been running so well, as evidence shows on your blog. I am so happy for you and proud of you, you work hard, YOU DESERVE IT!!! You are right, it's nice to have the last 20 miler in, phew!!

I am just BARELY reading this!!! Holy Crud, kellie! This was a training run, you are amazing. Can you even imagine what your time is going to be for the actual race? No pressure, but seriously!!! My Ogden pace was 7:50---that is for a race!!!!!!!

You are amazing. Now, we should get together with the kids while in St George. We will be leaving Wednesday night, so give us a call when you get there and the kids can play.
