Just ran/walked the dog at night.

At a delicious pasta and salad dinner at Leslie's.

My sister was over for a while.  She has lost a lot of weight this past year and is looking really awesome.  I am so proud of her.  She even mentioned that she alternated walking/running for the first time on Monday and (gasp!) was a little freaked that she actually liked the running part. Maybe I will be able to get her to join the blog soon.  She is training for some triathlons this year and is getting very motivated to be healthy and active.

Oh know, we need to do an intervention before she becomes addicted like the rest of us crazies!!!

The dinner sounded delicious! You are so lucky to have found such a good friend!!! THAT is why we are all addicted to running!!!

I am so excited for Saturday. You are going to be great!

Kelli - I am indeed lucky to have Leslie as a friend. She was one of the deciding factors in where I chose to live when I moved to Salt Lake last summer.

It is very appropriate that I will have her as my pacer on the 2009 Buffalo Run. It was at the 2007 Buffalo Run that we met and became best running buddies. Have you heard that story?

I HAVE heard that story!!! It is a good one.

I did not know that you just moved here, where did you live before that?

I lived in Layton the last 17 years and was waiting (after the divorce) for my son to graduate from high school so that I could buy a place in Salt Lake and have less of a commute (75+ miles round trip) each day.
