I was on my own today... Sue had other obligations. I went to the parkway and ran to the top then crossed the street and ran the birdsong trail, I think it's was about 2 miles on the trail. There was a big group of women running on the trail. They are Ogden's elite women runners. The one in front was Anna Judd. She won the Ogden marathon this year. So for a brief second I felt pretty good running with the fast ladies. Then I ran back down the parkway. It was crazy windy today so going down felt pretty good. As I was heading back up the parkway I realized I had miss calculated my turnaround point and I was going to be a mile short. By now the head wind was really taking it's toll on me along with a lack of fuel, so I was really starting to struggle. When the fast ladies passed me again looking strong and fast that was it... I was defeated. I struggled back to my car and didn't even try to get one more mile all I wanted was some food. When I got home my lovely hubby offered to make me eggs hashbrowns and toast!! He is wonderful!! 

So I'm off to lock myself in my doll room. I have started a sculpture for my oldest sisters birthday. It's not til Feb. 5th, but between holidays and time constraints I know that I need to start working on it now. 

Have a great weekend bloggers :)

Nine miles is a nice run. How cool that you were able to run with the fast women for a little while.

Your husband does make wonderful eggs and hashbrowns and toast!

You should carry fake snakes in your pockets to throw down in front of the speedy chicks to slow them down ;) (and she throws her head back with an evil laugh ;)

I hate running alone...it lets my evil mental RAD out and I get defeated easily as well. However, you did GREAT, especially keeping up with the elites..AND you got treated and pampered afterward! Can't wait to see pics of the new doll!
