It's coming up...

Only two weeks and we will be running our marathon. Today we were running, and we actually enjoyed a nice short 9.5 mile run. It was exciting to run almost ten miles and think of it as a short run. It really is all a matter of perspective. It was also exciting to get to leave the flashlight at home. We got up about two hours later than normal at 5:30 am. So we ran as the sun was coming up. Although it was later, and the sun was up, we still heard quite a few roosters. Apparently they haven't quite figured out that it is light outside so they should be quiet. We should have known that when we live even further west of the Lewis' that we would be living in the middle of farm country. (Those who have seen where we live can attest that we don't really live in the middle of nowhere. In fact we live right next to US 60 and a mall, and a whole lot of restaurants and other stuff. We just run west to a bunch of animals about 3 miles away.)

Hope all goes well with the marathon. I can't believe that you are running a marathon, half was long enough for me. Can't wait to see pictures, if you get time on the computer to post them :)

Hey, I was reading an article in Runners World magazine about pace teams, and thought I would send a quick note. I looked on the St. George web site and it looks like Clif bar will have pace teams for the marathon, so look for them. They will be in the Dixie center Garden Room @ 6pm. Just thought I would pass it on.
