** There is this older guy at my gym. We have been smiling at each other and exchanging greetings for quite some time now. Today he was wearing a Provo River Half t-shirt. I asked him how it went, etc. We got talking for quite some time. This guy is AMAZING! He is 66 years old (I thought he was mid to late 50s -- looks fantastic). In his twenties he ran for the University of Utah (I knew he was RED). He talked about the good 'ol days when he would run a 4:12 mile and sub15 5K!! Wow!!! I enjoyed talking to him so much. At 66, with not much training, he ran the Half in 1:51. Cool cool guy! He is headed to South Africa for a couple of weeks, but can't wait to talk to him again. :)

I AM SO SO SO HAPPY!!!

Ironman length swim

2.4 miles/3.8 km/154 lengths!!!! :) :) :)

** Originally was going to swim 1 mile and then bike. But felt really good at one mile so decided to go for two (which usually does me in).

At 2 miles I was tired but still swimming smooth and very much in control.

Decided to go for it!!!

2.4 miles later my arms feel like noodles, but I am so happy!

What a beautiful morning.

I was thrilled last night when Ry told me that he would run the first handful of miles with me this morning (it must have been the chocolate covered gummibears I bought for him). :)

True to his word he got up and out the door we went. We ran 2.25 miles to West Jordan High School's track. Then he timed me on a couple of 400s. Then we ran back home. Almost a perfect five miles. :) I kissed him goodbye and then headed out again, this time to the JRP. I was surprised how good I felt (other than some tightness in my right lateral rotators ... which always comes and goes any time I add hills to my training). I stopped at Geranium Park and took off my shoes and socks and ran one mile barefoot on the soccer field grass in honor of Rhett's running again! :) :) :) It felt AWESOME. Ran back home, throwing 2 800s in towards the end. Grabbed Sophia and Livvy for a one mile cooldown. Was very happy with how this run went.

Happy Thursday!!! :) :) :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

JOHNNY!!!

 

It is JohnnyV's birthday today. Cool!

Due to the nature of individual needs the Chumps run today began with a staggered start with everyone meeting up at Winchester at 6:00 to continue or finish their run. I actually think this is a really great way to do it. Hope we make it tradition.

It was a nice easy 13ish miler. I have no idea of exact pace or distance since my watch battery was dead. Like a fool, I wore it anyway. Being the habitual person I am I kept glancing down thinking it was going to magically juice itself back up and begin working. It never did! Dang.

Once we finished we celebrated Johnny's birthday like ROCKSTARS with 7/11 slurpees!!!

Let the good times roll!!! :)

P.S. #1:

Brent, when are you and Sylvie going to start running with us? We always see you!!!!

P.S. #2:

If anyone hears Smooth say she is slow again ... remind her that she was running some of her miles in the 7:20s today!!!!!!

(I think RivertonPaul pulls the speed right out of that girl!)
