sight for sore eyes

in case you ladies forgot what i look like while training for Ragnar.....

it happened to me

So Tuesday morning I ran 7 with one of my neighbor friends training for the Utah Valley Marathon. As I was walking out the door last night, I decided to grab my phone, I never run with my phone but thought. Its early and 7 miles is kind of a long time if Ty needs me. And off we went. Then mid morning I went to grab my phone, and the pocket I put it in was unzipped and surprise no phone! I finished  feeding Hayden and decided I would have to go run/drive the entire run all over again. There is no way I would find my phone just from the car, and it was cold so I would need to leave Hayden in the car...14 miles in one day Tally-ho! Within minutes I got a gmail chat message from Ty that read: "Air you there, someone just called Brad, said they found your phone, did you go somewhere? did you take it running?" AMEN to honest good people! They saved my a ton of effort, time and potentially a new phone! I fellow runner found it, a sweet girl from that running bunch I was suppose to run with last summer- such a small world :)

And if this story has you bitting at the bit- check out my blog for the post about how I left my purse in the shopping cart in Wal-marts parking lot, with $150.00 in cash, $25.00 check and Ty and mine ss cards (needed to make copies of and forgot to take them out the day before)....not to mention it was a way cute purse and I had just gotten a new fossil wallet :) the next day!

I have lost my mind! Don't trust me with anything of value, its a miracle Hayden has survived!

They're Baaaaack

My legs are jello.

Just sayin.....

Ouch

9 miles after 2 weeks of no long run hurts.

Just in case you were wondering.

On another note, I'd like to mention that I'm so freakin' excited that Erin has decided to join us in our Ragnar craziness!!!  Woot woot! 

It is going to be epic.

New Fun Thing

Hey all our faithful readers (you know, Carla and Megan).  Just wanted you to know that I'm going to be writing bi-weekly columns right here about running and exercise.  If you have any specific topic you want discussed or explored, let me know.  I'd love some topic ideas to get my writer brain going.

I'll leave a quick post here on Tres Amigas every time I post, there.  Or you can click on the "subscribe" button on my page and you can get my articles in your email.  The first (and currently, only) article is Atlanta-centric since it's my first column representing metro Atlanta.  They won't all be Atlanta-centric.

As far as ME: I'm finally getting back in my running groove again.  Ragnar training started last Monday and I'm doing alright. My legs are learning to hate me again, which is a good thing.  No pain no gain!  Tomorrow I tackle 5.5 miles on a very hilly course.  Wish me luck!

Check out these BEAUTS

So between the two of you I think you're both a lot better at keeping up with the hip and new so you might already know about these BUT last night Ty says to me, "I have really been search for something great for you for Valentines Day and this is what I'm thinking...." To which I started laughing- I had no idea what to think. BUT their called the Vibram Five Fingers and apparently it makes running, like running bare foot. (Who would want to do that? was my first thought too) BUT now I'm thinking that might be kinda cool. Google them if you think I'm joking, watch videos on YouTube if you think I'm crazy!
