I resisted the urge to sleep in on this rainy Saturday morning and it paid off! I had a great run with Jody! We did a foremaster loop (starting & ending at the gym) in the rain. I was SOAKED by end of the run. I booked it home, showered and changed into some cuddly PJs & slippers to blog in. After this entry I'm going back to bed until the rest of my sleepy family gets up!

This blog is great! So glad this blog put me in touch w/ Jody. She is an easygoing girl w/ a friendly smile and fun personality (cute hair too!) We had a great time chatting about our families , jobs, church etc, etc. Since she has family here and I have family in SLC, I know I'll get the chance to run w/ her again. I think we did pretty good on our run- 5.4 in 55 min. (10:11 pace) considering we were chatting and running up foremaster, not too shabby!

Yah! Just realized this run put me over my 25 miles for the week. I'm glad, after a rough start this week (rough as in- I was lazy!)

Next week goal is 26 miles. I know- you're thinking I'm really ambitious!! (ha)

Wow! Can't believe its Dec. 1st already!! Going to finish some Christmas shopping today and go to ward party tonight.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks for the encouragement!

I'm glad you have a good run with Jody today. I know she was excited to have someone to run with while she was in St. George. Good luck with your shopping and ward party. We have about 6 inches of snow and it's still coming down really good, so I think I'm just going to stay home and try to motivate myself to clean! Have a wonderful weekend.

I am so glad you got to meet Jody, she is so fun! I am glad you guys got a good run in today and getting out in the rain. It was pouring out where I live, so Im impressed! Good Job on meeting your mileage goal this week! Have a great day:)

Christi,

Thanks for the great run! I had a really good time. Let me know when you will be up north and we will get together!

Thanks again.

I like that you set a goal for your mileage in Decemeber and for next week! You can do it!

I'm allowing weather and Christmas to take precidency over my runs. But, I don't want them to completely do away with them. I think monthly and weekly goals during the next few months will help me through the winter. My goal for next week is to get in at least 25 miles.

Thanks for your goal setting. It's inspiration to me.
