I am married with 3 lovely children 26, 18, &12and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue. Love to run and be outside. I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible. Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

Met at Julie's and ran with her, Rebecca, Melanie, and Melody. Right off i dropped something and had to go back and get it and was far behind the group it was quite discouraging, I stopped and almost turned around. Glad that I didn't, I ended up having a good run. We went to the mouth of Provo canyon and then went south up on the old canyon rd. follow that down and hooked on 9th all the way down to the old SV highway. Hit 10 and turned and came back the same way. Rolling down for the first 10 in 1:17:00/7:42 and rolling up on the way back and finished with a 2:35:12/7:46 and we did stop and regroup so most of the run I was with Rebecca but we were not to far behind the rest. I did struggle on the 5 miles of uphill and the end but not a total blow out. Iced in the river after and Melanie thought she was going to die and only made it about 3 mins. Me and Rebecca stayed in for 8 mins. FREEZING!! Came home and got in my hot tub and then a hot shower. On a positive note I didn't get sick after and felt great on the run. I fueled really good before, durning and after.

ha ha!! Melanie is not wimpy though!! Josse, good run!! btw... what do I do about my nagging hamstring pains? ouch. they ached my entire run in my altras. that might have been the problem. i am sick too but am worried this will not go away?

Melanie you are not a whimp, I felt bad you looked so miserable.

Julie I wish I knew. stretching, scraping and massage helps me.

Great run Josse!! I am amazing by your paces on your LR. You are really going to do great in Boston.

I would have never even attempted to get in the River. I am the biggest wuss ever when it comes to cold.

Hi Melanie. : D. (josse, melanie doesn't blog hardly at all so I catch her when I can ; D).

I laughed out loud at the "Melanie thought she was going to die" part. Good run.

I'm so glad you didn't turn around. Way to stick it out. I laughed about Melanie B. too. The first 3 minutes are always the worst.
