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.

Fun morning! The weather felt balmy... down right Tropical compared to St. George!!! I missed my chocolate ( I know you already gave me some, but dang, I WANT MORE!)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Oh my gosh! That chocolate was AMAZING!!! DAvid took the dark stuff and hid it! He let me have one piece :) He would love to try one of your books. We'll have to work out an pick up :)

It was SO great to finally meet you! What fun!!! We left just as it was starting to RAIN! :) Good times!!

Great to meet you!!

Hey, I just signed up for the Ogden Marathon!!

Now, I need to come and run with you fun ladies!!!

From tarzan on Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 20:25:52

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 Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 20:27:53

I run ALL speeds. I just like company!

From leslie on Sun, 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!
