I've Been Recruited

A friend of mine called last night saying her Wasatch Back team was in need of a replacement runner and was wondering if I was interested. I've run this race the past 3 years and I love it but I decided to take the year off this year, for various reasons, I'll spare you the details. Actually, I decided to take the year off from all competition mostly because I've pretty much done everything I've wanted to do and my heart just isn't into racing right now. I also thought it would be good to just focus on my family for the summer, rather than having our family plans revolve around my race schedule. But...I caved! I committed and I'm running this weekend. And I'm lucky I have such a supportive husband who is okay with last-minute plans like this.

I've been running my regular schedule each week, but my focus is on maintaining fitness and strength. Not increasing speed. So, although I know I have the endurance for my distances, the pace will not be there this year. I've been assured this doesn't matter.

So here I go again. Logan to Park City.

Good for you. I think you should be able to do one occasionally. Make sure you keep open for the tour de cure next year. I've already warned Britt.

GiveAway!!

I'm doing this giveaway just for fun. I'm not trying to sell or promote anything. I'm on an apron kick lately. I've come across so many cute ideas and I decided to make some of them. A week or so ago my good friend Liz mentioned she'd won an apron in a giveaway somewhere else. Thats where my "inspiration" comes from. I'm just a big copycat, but at least I admit to it. Here is the giveaway item: Please keep in mind that I made this, it did not come from a store so if you become the owner there will be no tags. I consider it to be a one-size-fits-all due to the fact that the ties are extra long. Here are the details: *Contest begins at 7am (Mountain Standard time) Thursday, November 12. It will end Sunday, November 15 at 8pm (same timezone). Winner(s) will be posted at my convenience on Monday. *Anyone living in the continental U.S., Canada, including PEI, or Mexico can enter this giveaway. It doesn't matter if you and I are friend or foe. You don...

Bogger Messed Up My Give Away

Image
Blogger did some maintenance work this past week and during that time a lot of people had a lot of problems with their blogs. Posts disappeared, page layouts were rearranged, comments lost, etc. Sadly, my blog was one that got messed up. Half of the entries to my baby shoe give away are gone and although Blogger says they'll be recovered, that has yet to happen and I don't know how long it will take. So, in order to make this give away fair, I think we need to start over. Sorry, I don't know what else to do. Contest will end Tuesday, May 17 at noon (Utah time). Here are the details and the rules (again!): (Note: If you posted about this give away on your blog last week, you don't have to re-post, just leave a comment saying you already posted.) Here are the shoes. I'm not much of a photographer, but the shoes are brown with light pink ribbon. They are a size extra small. They should fit a foot up to 4 inches in length. Maya is 5 1/2 months old and this size fits her...
