Did the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk/Run at Liberty Park this morning with Leslie, Harold, Odee, Marion, Marion's crew of girls, Kelli, and Lynn. I know there were more names - but I forget them. Lynn is hopefully going to join the blog today.

All right, Kelli! Another Ogdenite! We'd love to have you join us - just remember that Leslie and I are still working on getting as fast as you.

From Kelli on Oct 12, 2008 at 20:27:53

I run ALL speeds. I just like company!

From leslie on Oct 12, 2008 at 20:32:08

Yeah Kelli! I loved Ogden, Maurine introduced me to it and I think it is the most scenic race ever, and I love the down hill! Come on Marion, you know you want to do it! They also have a half if you are interested, but then we wouldn't have your company, so you need to do the full!!!

It is on my "seriously concidering it" radar. Why does out language have a C and an s? it is too much for me to remember which one goes where! They never look right!
