I didn't run this morning so I can save my legs for the 5k race I am running tomorrow. I was thinking about it- this will be my fourth race in a row the last month. Su-weet! I have had several people ask me this week if I am a machine or something. LOL I thought about it-I have been getting very little sleep, running races,exercising every single day, doing tons with my kids. Yeah.... so maybe I am a machine of sorts :)

Today I worked on the elipitcal with Julie for an hour and 10 minutes. Julie was reading this super duper awesome book called 'stories boys like'. The cover looked rather 70's for sure. Julie was reeeeally loving it. ha!!!

  I have plans to kick it into high gear the next two weeks. I am going to start running tons of distance. Hopefully a 15-18 miler next week with Allie. I will run long distances twice per week until the week before the marathon. So if anybody wants to join me, feel free to come. I have run alone so much this year I am a little lonely at this point. I can manipulate my schedule to do whatever. Plus I have plans to do 2 trail runs before this month is up. I also want to lose 5-7 more lbs. So I can be even lighter for the marathon. Everybody says I am crazy and my husband asks me if I have blown away in the wind each day after work. Very funny peeps. You watch, I'll lose a few more and I will be happy even if everybody else things I'm a nut. Happy Friday ya'll .

Well, I don't think you're crazy. If I had the time and means I would be doing exactly what you were doing. Keep it up.

I knew it ... you're a machine. No - really. That schedule is crazy!! Just remember you are liv'in the dream. Crush it tomorrow. You'll get addicted to the marathon and trails though.. I tell people it's not an addiction it's a hobby.

You are totally a machine. Good luck with your race tomorrow. You should come Jun and I for an early morning trail run. Whattya say?

Hey Maquina - allie says that you may be interested in a TOU half entrance for $38 (I think that's what my sis said she would sell it for). It is on your list of things to do in August...

Can't wait to hear how you did today!

Oh and MichelleL is always good to run with! She will definitely make you faster :) The spanish fork running club runs every saturday morning and I bet Kellies would be a good one to run w/ too since she's close by.
