So I finally get to enter in my blog. I missed my run this morning because my 5am friend cancelled early in the morning (and I dont like to go out in the mornings in the winter when its dark by myself, my brother is a sargent with the SG PD and the past couple years there have been several attacks on female runners in SG, so I promised my husband and brother I would not go alone) so I went back to bed til I met with my 6am friend but I forgot to reset my alarm clock so I totally stood her up, I felt so bad ! But I got off work early today and took off ( I wanted to go with the running club but since I got off at 4 today I didnt want to wait)

I tried a little experiment tonight. I wanted to see what my avg pace is at a relaxed comfortable state and putting no extra effort into the run, never pushing myself out of that comfort zone. Avg pace 7:25, time 1:15 min .I was happy with that.

Hey Andee and Jody, we got out shutters put in yesterday, I love them. Andee- Garrett and I were thinking that if you want any of our white wood blinds for your basement you could have them. They might not fit just right but garrett says you cut them to fit. Let us know.

That's a fast relaxed pace! I was feeling good about my 7:43 average pace today, and I even had to push it up a hill to make sure that mile didn't end up slow. Good job! If you lived up here I would invite you to join me for the 6 minute pace til you puke experiment. If you get up here at all for the holidays we could get together for that or any other run. We have a guest bedroom, and you are welcome to come up just to visit us, too! Since you are not a student I guess you don't get the time off automatically, though. But the offer always stands :)

I think I will have to pass on the 6 min pace til you puke. I really dont think I could hold that. I have done 3 miles on the treadmill at a 6:20 pace but I dont think I could have done that without the treadmill pulling me. I would love to run with you though!!!I dont know what our plans for the winter are (I really hate the cold!) but we go up to Provo canyon in the summers often and up to west valley, west jordan to see family (andee and jody on the blog) so defineltely then. You are so sweet!!

You have had two happy runs in a row - that does not happen very often.

I am so excited for your house. Take pictures and send them our way!

You are sooooo fast! I'm pretty sure that if I ever ventured close to a 7 minute mile that I would fall over dead!

Yes, we would love your old blinds. We are hoping to have the basement well on it's way soon. Then you will actually have a room to stay in when you visit.

We are so excited to come down to the warm weather. You mentioned that you have the whole week off, so lets make some plans before the men plan to go golfing every day!

Jody-thanks I finally feel like I am getting back to my old self, it must be the "zapping"LOL!! You have had lots of good runs yourself and awesome mileage!

Andee,

Yes lets plan some fun stuff! It will be so nice to have the whole week. When are you guys coming down??

You didn't miss much last night anyway. Only 4 of us there total.
