I ran 3.6 with Lynsey this morning. I was feeling super good so I thought I'd go for 5 and made it to 6.2 :)  First mile was 8:30 and every mile after that was an 8 even.  I was trying to burn off this delicious fathers day cake Wes' mom made...Carmel Cake w/ Cookies and Cream Ice Cream!!!!

Nice running. I can still feel UVM in my legs. Whats your next race coming up?

From Lily on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 09:14:09 from 160.7.232.104

Naughty naughty! How come you didn't save me a piece?

From Merri on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 11:11:55 from 207.88.76.69

Hey Walter, my next race is the Speedy Spaniard 10k here in Spanish Fork. And You ran crazy fast at the UVM so I bet your legs can still feel it! Nicely done.

Sorry Lily next time, next time :)

From Walter on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 11:57:32 from 76.27.15.208

Nice Merri! Are you going to be the Speedy one? UVM is still punishing my legs by the way. How are you recovering from it?

From Merri on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 13:48:59 from 207.88.76.69

Well I'm all recovered I think...considering I was a wimp and decided not to do it. :) I did come though and watched the runners come into the finish. And the whole time I was kicking myself for not doing it. :( I think Top Of Utah will be my next marathon.

When do you want to run the speedy spaniard route? If this week is to full and busy next week will work too. Do you think Lynsey would want to do it with us?

From Merri on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 16:56:55 from 207.88.76.69

I could do it Tues, Thurs or Friday. Pick your poison :)

From Lily on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 17:48:31 from 160.7.232.104

Hey I am up for any of those days! You pick your poison! Let's ask Lynsey if she wants to?

From Lyns on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 18:14:11 from 75.162.104.51

Yes I want to do the Speedy spaniard route - Friday is the only day that would work for me this week, 5 AM. Does that work for you two hot mamacitas?

From Lyns on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 18:26:27 from 75.162.104.51

And maybe we can tack on another 2 miles after that - I would really like to get in 8 that morning if possible. Since I'm only running 3 days this week I have to get more miles in that day!( to keep up with the training schedule I'm on- if its on the schedule I have to do it - if you would have put "jump off a cliff" in that schedule Merri, I would have done it!)

From Merri on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 21:56:59 from 207.88.76.69

ha ha yeah Friday it is. :)

From Lily on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 23:30:19 from 160.7.232.104

Yes Friday will work for that route....and I don't mind going 2 more miles. I am always up for the distance, yah baby yah!
