Last long run before Ogden Marathon. My goal was to get Marion through her first 18 miler. 13:20 ave. 11:43, 11:31, 11:19, 11:25, 11:33, 12:24, 12:10, 12:35, 12:50, 11:31, 12:37, 13:15, 12:03, 13:36, 13:33, 17:44, 14:11, 15:18, 17:45

Luz's hubby dropped us at Vivian Park and Luz ran the first 13 miles with us - which kept our pace up a little more. After that Marion and I cheered in runner's on one of Mary Anne's races and we also gathered up markers and cones for her and left them in 3 different road accesses (hopefully she finds them).

Great job, Marion! Thanks for running with us Luz!

I was soaked and freezing, so dropped by my Dad's for a minute and stole some pajamas to change into so that I wouldn't shake the whole way home.

A wet, but pretty day!

You guys did great! I think your pace was awesome considering the crappy conditions!!!!

I am so tired of icky weather conditions!

Maurine, so you started at the falls? Went all the way to the lake? I think it is an awesome course, I have to do it soon!

I am driving up to Ogden early Sat. morning and am happy to take you and Gary and Marion up. Ernie and Harold will come up later to see us finish, like maybe around MIDNIGHT!!!!

Thanks so much Maurine. You really saved me this week. I am so freaked out that I am psyching myself out. You are the BEST! Thanks for the cookies and gatorade. I had some in the tubby :)

I love your garden. Very cute :)

Sounds like a GREAT fun run with the girls. LOVE your garden pic.

It was a very nice run, but also very wet and cold. I wore my water resistant jacket - that worked for a whole quarter mile.

Les - we started at Vivian Park, ran to the lake and then back to Geneva Road. It was quite the fun day. I just laid down for an hour to finish a book - now it is time to clean.

Nice run. When you know you made it through training it feels really good

I was thinking how miserable that would be today to have to drive home from far away instead of running (or hobbling) inside to take a warm shower.

No ice bath necessary, the entire run was one!

What kind of volunteer work are you doing for the race?

From Maurine/Tarzan on Sat, May 02, 2009 at 21:12:23 from 97.117.57.193

Les - I guess each team needs to provide 3 overall race volunteers. I can sign up for an assignment this week. I will log in to my work email and forward you some of the details later on.

Very cool Maurine!!!

Glad you were able to get some dry pjs!! :)
