Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

Tom and I had to head to SG for a quick carpet cleaning trip.  So we enjoyed a nice 7 miler after the rain.  

Ten, then a surprise long distance baby shower for Rurika and Cam.  Now on to our young women fundraiser dinner and auction.

Six around town, by myself, in the sun to deliver a piece of mail to the post office.  And who do I run into but Chad and Toni.  

Tom and I had the priveledge of being part of Team Elshanator today!  What fun to spend a big chunk of time with her and her parents.  They picked us up in LaVerkin and we rode to the start line with them in their VANGO.  Great company and an awesome ride.  

We were there plenty early to get Elsha all set and ready to go.  We spent some time hanging out in the warming tent and mingling with the crowd.

We had to walk through a field and up the road to the back of the start line.  The start was a little different since they had to make sure people were spread out good for this race.  They had us go through a very narrow chute to get going.  It took us about 15 or 16 minutes to get to the starting mats. 

This course is pretty much up hill the whole way and to add to that we got a nice head wind.  Luckily Tom and I were taking turns in the pushing.  He would have made it pushing alone but I would have had a pretty hard time.  I had to let Tom help me out on a few of my turns towards the end.  

This is an amazing course!  The scenery is beyond beautiful!  It was fun to watch people from out of state enjoying the beauty!  

After the race we got to ride back down with the Stockseths and then we headed straight home.  We were pretty worn out when we made it home.  Our alarm went off at 4:15 this morning....I'm looking forward to an awesome night's sleep.  I hope I get it!  

I "ran" my errands again today.  It's kind of cool to do that.  Had to take a shirt to Tani at the school and pick up the van.  Nice sunshine.....beautiful day outside to run in.

I've mostly just been going to Zumba on Tues and Friday but I went after my run this morning and think I will add it in more often.  I really like it...fun to be with friends and move and smile!  Thanks Selina for your Zumba kindness!

This was a pretty long 17 miles....I got to join in with Tom as he finished the last part of his 50 mile Buffalo Run out on Antelope Island.  I joined him at 33 when he was starting to have some pretty bad stomache issues that seemed to last the rest of the race.  I didn't really like to see him not feeling well but I did like being the perky one for a change.  He is usually there to help me keep going but this time the tables were turned.  

I'm proud of him and his buddy Terry who decided to do this for their 50th years on earth!  

Tom acts like he is not interested in doing this again...unless I decide to do it when I turn 50 then he would do it with me.

This week I have just been doing my Zumba class.  But this morning it was fun to get out and run again.  

Waiting for grand baby girl to be born!   Can''t wait....tomorrow is the due date, but I don't think she is planning to come on time.  She wants to make her own grand entrance!

Kind of a sad week of running.  Oh well, life goes on.
