Saturday Run

Karen and I ran a mile yesterday before it started raining. We really want to up our mileage, but it is hard when we have to have Karen's mom watch the kids for us when we run. We are probably going to have to start going separately.

Slacker

Hey Guys, Andrew was giving me a hard time for not posting/checking the sibling blog so here I am. Training has been going pretty well for me. The program I am doing is called Couch to 5k, it has been really good for me to ease into the whole thing. Tomorrow I will complete day 2 of week 3 in the 9 week program, almost half way there!! I am starting to enjoy it a lot more which is a plus. Anyhow, I hope everything is going well for everyone. Happy Training!

New Shoes

I went to Wasatch Running today and got new running shoes. The shoes I have been using are about five years old and have been through it, so it is a good thing that I got new ones. The person at the store watched me run and then suggested which shoes to buy, so hopefully they work out ok.

Saturday is a special day....

It's the day we run long mileage. It was long mileage, I was out for an hour and a half because my pace is extremely slow but it was fun. I run along the river trail every day which is straight up awesome. There were a lot of people on the trail today with quite the mix, hardcore cyclists, families, kids, and I think one homeless person. It is always a nice run because there is nice scenery and you are running next to the river most of the time. The run stole all of my energy so I have been lazy the rest of the day. Catherine and I went to target and got some clothes, I bought some running shorts and a new running shirt I am not sure what she got. I will try and post some pictures sometime. Here is my inspirational video for the day.

Update

The training continues! This is week two and it is a killer, I biked yesterday because I am trying to cross train so I don't over exert myself. Today I went for a run in the morning, I felt pretty sluggish, which is probably due to a late night and bad food. Last night my friends and I went to a crappy dollar movie and snuck in chicken nuggets. It is a tradition we have, it started out with that CGI owl movie, then we went to the bieber movie, and this time we saw Journey to the mysterious island. If you have never heard of this gem of a movie here is a clip:

It was a grand old time, I snuck in and ate 20 chicken nuggets and didn't get to sleep until after midnight. This equals slow running morning. It was well worth it, hope you guys are doing well!

Karen and I ran about 1.1 miles today. We ran .2 and walked .1. It is a slow start but it is a start!

The Race

The 5k is not timed, Catherine is fine with that I am not sure how the rest of you feel about it. We started our training today at 7:00 A.M. It was rainy and tired in the air. This is my inspirational Michael Jordan movie, Catherine has seen it nine million times because I keep watching it. Happy Training!

Testing

I really am Elizabeth. My favorite probe is the brain probe. I'm enjoying the wonderful 70's in AZ right now and thought I'd test to see if anyone looks at the blog anymore (since this is the first time I am in forever). I miss you.

Feeling Weak

Well here we are day three and I want some chocolate. I honestly can't remember the last time I went more than a few days without having just a little bit of chocolate. I guess this no sugar plan is a good thing, but man I have got some hankerings!!

Let Sugar Free October Begin

Day one and so far so good. I think my big difficulty is going to be I tend to eat junky food when I am bored or stressed. I just need to find a better coping mechanism and break myself of my bad habits.

I am Liz

I am Liz posting on the blog. I have two kids and a husband, now you all believe I am Liz. I enjoy power and massages. My favorite type of probe is the logic probe. Soon I will be hot again in Arizona. I am Liz posting on the blog.

Revive the blog!

Hey siblings. Remember the blog? It sure was a nice way to keep everyone up to date on what is going on. Especially when James is in China and doesn't talk to everyone as much as he would like.

If you have time to kill

This video is very interesting.

Jazz Game

So last night I went to the Jazz game on a date. Spencer's dad was able to get us the Huntsman company tickets so we spent the first half in one of the suites. When we got there President Monson was sitting watching the game. At half time my date when up and talked to him because she just got her mission call. After she finished we were leaving the box and as I passed him he said "I see you are taking up drinking" ( I had a bottled water in my hand) I told him that it was good for me. After that he said "well you keep your eye on that girl she is a good one". It was pretty funny. After we left the box we went and sat on the very first row on the floor. We were inches away from Boozer, Korver, and even Tracy Mcgrady walked by us. The guy next to Spencer was cussing Mcgrady out which was kind of awkward then Mcgrady said somethings back but we could not hear him. Overall it was a pretty eventful night!

A New Leaf

I hereby promise to my siblings (and visiting parents) that after my ear/sinus infection is gone I will turn over a new leaf and exercise and weigh myself diligently.

It's Snowing

Again. The national weather service issued a blizzard warning until 7 p.m. Fun fun.
