Ran with Kim and Paula today. We met early and ran from Kim's brother's house to the Jordan River Parkway. This was the first time that I had run on it and it was great. I will be going back for sure. We had a mini blog party as we saw Brent and he ran with us for a few minutes and then Leslie and Lisa. It was nice to chat with everyone for a few minutes along the way.

We were slower on the first 8 then we were coming back. Coming back we had some miles in the 8 range. Our mileage is based on the reading of my ipod + and I had stopped and started and missed a few times. I think our actual mileage was closer to 16 and our pace quicker than the 9:45 listed. I would think more around 9:30 or so, but I am going to stick with what was in black and white for training purposes.

Kim and Paula both did a great job! It was so nice of Kim to spend the night in SLC so that we could run together, she is doing such an awesome job with her training. This was Paula's longest run ever and she did great, there are many more to come for her.

Overall, I felt great today.  A little stiff and sore at the beginning but worked through it quickly.  I felt like if I had another GU and stayed on the parkway where there is shade I could have gone 18 maybe even 20.  You gotta love days like today!

Happy Running!

Yes! It was a blog party!! It was fun to meet you in real life!!! I am so glad I recognized you!!! Sounds like you had a great run, I hope we see you again on the trail, I think we will do it more often, it is fun to see all the runners out and not worry about traffic. Great job on your 16 miler!!

Thanks for the run and I will hold you to slow on Monday!! 10,000 brownie points to you for getting me out and running with me!

Jody, you three looked like you were out for a stroll, great run, says something about all those hard winter runs are paying off big time. Hey, next time if we see each other on the parkway, are you up for a BS Rools run? You may think it is fun or I am nuts.

Stay Kool, Faster and Faster, B of BS Rools out

Brent - I am absolutely up for a BS ROOLS run. Name the time and the place and I am there!

Wow, Jody! You sound like you are going to be in great form for St. George! Glad you guys all got a chance to run together. I am jealous!
