OMG Darla!

REALLY did I let myself get this way?

This is disgusting.
GROSS.
SICK.

If this IS NOT motivation and an eye opener I do
not know what is???

Mesa Falls

Last weekend I got drug with the girls
to the Mesa Falls Run in Ashton.
Carlee, Lisa n I did the 5K - ok, LISA
did the 5K, Carlee and I puttered behind her.
I ran a little, but felt guilty leaving Carlee
and walked back to her twice and finally decided
to just walk it with her. We did 'trot' into the
finish line but it was unjustified glory to me.
Silly?
Maybe.
Next year we want to RUN the 1/2 Marathon up there
and I am feeling anxious but motivated about it.

What's going on?
I have been doing p90X on MWF with the girls
at church - getting core, arms and legs strength
trianing in. Also been doing walking and a bit of
jogging in each day. Want to kick it out at the
Rim2Rim in a couple of weeks.

Doing WW points again - Christy gave me new books
and sliders and a ton of info to motivate me. I lost
almost 3 lbs in day 1 so I think maybe THAT will
motivate me?

Sept is THE MONTH for me - heading into my 39th
bday and thinking I need to work it to the max -
set my sights HIGH and my scales LOW (he hee)

Mesa Falls Fun Run and Marathon Weekend

So, back during the Sawtooth Relay the girls made a pact
Carlee, Lisa, Maime and Chrissy
that they would all do the Mesa Falls 1/2 Marathon together


Fast forward from June to August - today was the Mesa Falls.
Chrissy was the only one doing the 1/2 - Carlee and Lisa
signed up for the 5K and Maime and her kids for the 1 mile
fun run. Last minute last night they invited me to join them
and I fell for it! LOL

So, they picked me up at 6 this morn and we headed to Ashton.
Chrissy was toted around by Jake and the kids for her 1/2 and
we caught up later.

5K
Carlee and I held back and let Lisa go for it. Carlee had a
bad cough (bronchitis?) and a pulled tooshie muscle. I ran
a few times then walked back to her and eventually we just
speed walked it through... Lisa kicked boote' and did the run
in 42 minutes! Carlee and I did it in 57 minutes. Bummerz...

We then followed Chrissy around the last half of her run and
she was amazing ... she ran the 13.5 miles in 2 hrs 7 minutes!!!
Sandy and Craig even came out to cheer her on at the finish line!

So, it was fun and we are all fired up for the Rim2Rim in a few
weeks. The others even talked about maybe coming to Carlee's for it
too! FUN STUFF!
