Ran the Speedy Spaniard route today with Lynsey and Lily.  And we stayed true to the course name and were very speedy.  Avg pace 7.31.  Fastest mile was #4 at 7.19.  I like that course and if you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it.

The run felt really good for me today.  I think it was a combo of the cooler temps at 5am and I had a half of a bananna and some gatorade before we left.  Normally I don't eat anything before a run.

Can ya put a ring on a run? I hear it is a fast course. I think I need to come run it and see if it will make me fast.

Great job today, have a pleasant day!

It is quite fast. Last year I ran the Provo 10k on the 4th and the Speedy Spaniard on the 24th and it was like 3 minutes faster.

The first mile is up hill the whole way. Mile 2 has some down hill and so does mile 3 but they are not long down hills. Miles 3-5 are flat with some slight up hill and mile 5-6.2 is flat. It is a pretty true course. We would love to have you at the race Kelli! Good job on your run Merri that is smokin fast.

When I'm at the gym and that song by beyonce comes on, all the dudes tend to stop and stare at the TV. As Shawn says, Beyonce has some show stopping thighs and hips. She's got nothing on me! haha just kidding!

From Merri on Thu, Jul 02, 2009 at 11:24:28 from 207.88.76.69

Yo mama she gets krazy :)

From TylerS on Thu, Jul 02, 2009 at 11:34:34 from 66.29.160.130

You should have run a little further just to get away from that 666 number! Scary! jk

From Lily on Thu, Jul 02, 2009 at 11:44:53 from 160.7.232.167

We were atually laughing over that satanic number at the end there!

I finally YouTubed that video and that woman can shake her thighs and her keester. I found the video quite boring, however.

From Lily on Thu, Jul 02, 2009 at 12:00:34 from 160.7.232.167

Keester LOL

From Lily on Thu, Jul 02, 2009 at 21:30:54 from 160.7.232.167

Yo yo yo Merri, are you and Lynsey running in the morning? If so, I can go at 7 since Shawn is off work tomorrow. Let me know!

Sorry Silly Lily, I just got this message. I just slept in today. It was much needed :)
