I've been battling a sinus infection and haven't gotten much running in the last week. My head feels like it's going to explode. This weekend I was supposed to get 12 miles in and I crapped out at 6. I was really disappointed, but I couldn't breathe and my head was hurting-not to mention I had to circle back to my house 2 times to use the bathroom!! Why does that always happen to me?? lol I'm getting super nervous about the full marathon I'm supposed to do in Jan. Only 2 months away and the longest run I've done is 8 miles. Yikes! And the holidays are coming up and I suck at training during this time. I keep telling myself I have to keep going and getting my runs in. Ok...just thought I'd post a little something...keep running girlies!!

A Good Day!
Now to let everyone know, since Zhalore's not tooting her own horn.....She did the St. George marathon. And did Great! So proud of you girl. After seeing you did one and my friend Stephanie is training for Boston. I think I might have to take one on. Any one want to start training for one with me? I need a training partner. Since all my running girls live far away it will have to be an online buddy. Anyone in??????

To Make All you Runners out There Feel Real Good
I had a guy ask me tonight if I was 9 months pregnant, while my sister-in-law who is 8 months pregnant was sitting right next to me and he did not even notice she was pregnant. Seriously just don't ask me anymore people. This was one of many comments I have gotten this past month about how big I look. You think I am big now you just wait 3 more months I'll show you big. This is why Marinda had the Triplets and not me. Sorry I am a little sensitive right now. I probably should have waited until tomorrow to post this.
Oh, I guess I should let everyone know the pregnancy is going great and I am having a girl. Woo Hoo!!!

Las Vegas
Well, I have been unsuccessful in finding enough runners for the Ragnar Las Vegas. I did some math and it would be about $160 per person. That's assuming that we have to rent cars and I am unable to find sponsors.
Since I have been unable to find enough people to fill the team, I don't want to take a risk and pay the fee, hoping that we find another 6 members. With that said, I am sorry. I love relay races, but I think I will hold off on Las Vegas.

Saints and Sinners
Just wondering if the Las Vegas Ragnar is a go for sure? I'd like to do it, I know that Tami wants to do it, and I saw that there were others that said they were in. What do we need to do? It looks as if we need to register by June 30th to get the early discount, and the promo of 2 rooms at the Red Rock Casino.
Let me know.

The Race Bible is full of rules we need to follow and our team has some basic rules also. This is a race, but not one we are out to win. We don't care if you have the slowest pace ever or you walk your leg. We are out to have FUN. So bottom line, HAVE FUN and under no circumstance is the Race Bible to be used as a weapon! Wa ha ha!!! Too funny! See you all Friday.
RUN MOMS RUN!!!
"In running, it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, 'I have finished.' There is a lot of satisfaction in that." -Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder
Just a little motivation for you all! I want to wish you good luck and happy running! I'll be thinking of you this weekend while I am in dream land and you are running the roads of UT. :o) Can't wait to hear about it, so make sure you blog on here about your kick ass times and that you placed 1st in the all womens division...no pressure! Kar-take care of your pregnant self out there and stay hydrated!
Make sure you kill all the moose you see! Have fun girls and make it for Dez, she'll be proud no matter what!! Love ya!!

Dez getting better!
For all those that didn't know, my sister Nikki who was running the race with us is no longer able too. (We have, found a replacement.) My sisters daughter has Crohns disease. She went into surgery and ended up with a bad infection, and has been in the pediatric ICU for 7 days. There were numerous times that we thought she may not be coming home, but she has improved. Her vital signs have been stable for 24hrs. Her fever is normal and everything is looking up! The doctors were hoping to start weening her off the respirator today. Thank you all for your prayers and kind words. My other sisters and I are still excited for the race and can't wait to see those that we know and meet those that we don't.

Shout Out to Van #2 People
I just got off the phone with are Captain O Captain Zhalore and here is the idea that we have for Van #2. Kandice lives in Morgan which would be an hour drive into Logan. The van is in Utah County and so all those (Nikki you probably want to be with your sisters which is totally they way it should be.) But, for the rest of us, Alison, her husband Dez?, Deni, Melissa, Me, and my mom we could ride up in the van, meet the rest of van #1 and Kandice for dinner. Van #1 would head up to Lori's in laws to stay the night and we Van #2 could go to the store and get our food and drinks, and ice then go and sleep at Kandice's home. We would then meet everyone at a certain time and location in Logan to decorate the vans and go to the starting line to cheer on van #1. Kandice has more than enough room for us and a bed for my mom and air mattresses for the rest of us as well as bathrooms. She said we could have the upstairs of her home. Also, after our first run we can wait at her house as it is on the course and shower and rest! Woooohooo for us. Please let me know your feelings about this so we can make a plan. I would like to go up Thurs. so that we can all get to know each other. I will bring up 2 huge coolers one for food and one for water and drinks. We already have a race bible for our van, vests, and red beacons. I have a head lamp does anyone else have another one that could be for our van also?
I am so excited!!!!!
A Plan, A Plan!!!
We are set with an Expedition for Van 1 and Sarah is pretty sure we can use the same Van as last year for Van 2. Yes, we will owe money for shirts. Plan on owing Sarah around $30-$40, she will let us know. As of right now we don't have shirts for our drivers. It's a great idea, but I don't know if it's something any of us have time to figure out. Are you volunteering, Kim? ;) One thing we need to get done is find another runner for Van 2! I'm sure we will find someone, it just is getting a little crazy. Thanks to everyone for your help looking and recruiting people!!! We also need to find out what time Lori and Marinda are flying in on Thursday before we make any set plans for the day. But our basic plan for Thursday is to first meet at Karleen's (I'm not sure what time). From there maybe to the airport to pick up Lori and Marinda and then out to dinner. Van 1 will be staying at Lori's in-laws (same as last year). Van 2, it sounds like you have a couple of options of places to stay, you can decide between your group where you want to stay. Then on Friday morning we can meet and shop for food and then decorate our vehicles. Our starting time is 11:45. If Van 2 wants to be with Van 1 when we start, that would be fun!!
Here is the list of runners for our team:
Van 1
1- Marinda Parry
2- Karleen Rehrer
3- Tiffany Ashman
4- Zhalore Averett
5- Lori Nelson
6- Sara Reed
Van 2
7- Deni Berger
8- Kandice Compass
9- Kim Weight
10- Nikki Rowley
11- Alison Lomax
12- Melissa Hoen
Sarah had a great list for packing when we ran the Del Sol. I am going to copy and paste it for those that haven't done this before or want it as a check list.
Sarah's list for packing
sleeping bag
pillow
toothbrush and paste
shampoo,soap,and things to make me pretty
Towel washcloth
deoderant(this is mandatory for Van 1)
Sunscreen
Sunglasses
Visor or hat
2 longsleeve shirts for under race shirt.
1 windbraker just in case
1 pair of gloves (the night runs can get cold)
running shoes
1 pair of running pants
1 capri?
3 shorts
4 pairs of Socks and UNDERWEAR (ALSO MANDATORY FOR VAN 1)
ipod
camera
Meds
comfy clothes and slip on shoes for when I'm not running
1 pair of jammies
bag for my smelly clothes
$$$$- Money for gas and food, maybe around $100 ???
It's going to be a lot of fun!!! I can't wait. If anyone has any questions, call me 801-489-8513.
Kim, I will have both race bibles ready for both vans. One thing you will need to get with your van on is the decorations. We were thinking of getting the window markers and writing our team name and all of our van members names on our vehicles. I'll call you and explain what we did last year for our decorations and see what you think. Also, there is a captains meeting on Wed. June 10th at 7:00pm in Kaysville if you want to come with me. If not, it's not a big deal.
WE NEED A RUNNER!!!

Questions
I woke up this morning with questions....
What do I do for food? Do we bring snacks, etc? I'm assuming we do. (I don't expect to be fed, I'm just wondering what you all do for fuel.)
Also, part of my dream was waiting for Nikki to hand the baton off to me (Not sure who will actually do that, but in the dream it was Nikki) ... and I had to use the rest room. Of course I couldn't find the dang thing...it was like walking through a place naked - you know the dreams. Hopefully my husband didn't get an ear full in the middle of the night. If he did, he's forgotten it.
Anyway, I'm assuming there are several restrooms throughout the routes??? Although, if this race is anything like the others I've done, who needs a cleanse?
I think that's it for now. I'll admit, I'm a little nervous running with you all....
Saturday, May 23, 2009
GREAT RUN!

Chafing
Then I thought of the e-mail or blog post or whatever it was that talked about chafing in the last race that you all did so I thought I would share if you don't know what the product is.
It is called Body Glide. It is a must have! It is water proof, and as you start to sweat, it protects your body from chafing. It's almost like vaseline, but not quite.
Most triathletes use it, and I don't know how many runners use it, but you can put it under your arms, on your feet if you tend to get blisters, between your legs, if you're like me and you've allowed yourself to get a little too chunky there. (I'm sure none of you are like that, but I am and so...)
You can find it at any running store, or triathlon store. It will cost you about 10 bucks and it looks like a stick of deodorant.
It will save your precious little body.
The end.
Tuesday, May 12, 2009
Start Time
I got an e-mail today with our start time, as I'm sure you all got it too. Looks like we start at 2pm - whew!

You are so natural at so many things and beautiful even when you run all night, no make up, and sweaty hair. We are love you so much and couldn't ask for a better little sis. Wish I could be there. Love you ton!! Have a Great Day!!
KIMS 40!!!
Just wanted to give a birthday wish to my sweet, awesome, amazing, tuff, beautiful sister who is turning the big 40 today!! I think she is handling it okay but just in case her sisters sent her a package with tools of how to deal: grandma panties, support hose, reading glasses, and a big support bra because we heard that when you hit that age group they sag!! (It was the biggest thing I have ever seen a 50G, it fit on my head and then some, and I have a big head??!!) Love ya sista and I wish I could be there to celebrate!! Your my hero and I love ya!!

Hey Guys HOW'S The TRAINING GOING?????
Just curious to see how everyones trainings going? Mine is good somedays and BLAH on others. Like today was a BLAH! But I did run a 5 mile tempo run on Monday and did it in 38 min. I was pretty happy with that. I also did a race on Saturday and end up taking 2nd. When they first posted it I had taken 5th in my age group, but they sent me an email saying that there were some errors and to recheck the results....I was totally surprised. But I really need a fire under my BUTT so please keep me up dated on your training. It keeps me motivated. Also I just burned the last DVD yesterday so I will be mailing them out soon. If you haven't sent me your address please do. Thanks can't wait to see you guys!

Driver 1- Alison's Hubby
Driver 2- Kim's Mom
Just a little update on drivers. We felt it would be a good idea to have a male driver in each van. We thought it would make us all feel a little safer when we do our night runs and we would also have a priesthood holder in case someone needed a blessing. We also thought it wouldn't hurt to have 2 drivers per van, so they could switch off if one driver was tired.
Everyone keep using the blog to keep updated and in touch. It's going to be such a BLAST!!! Can't wait.

Thank-you to everyone on the team. I had such an amazing time! I will for sure be doing this again - except next time I'll make sure I won't be pregnant (which is still a secret to everyone else down here because of my history with miscarrying).
To everyone doing Wasatch Back; good luck! And if you see any of the Moose people, score a kill for me.

Van borrowing fee $20
gas money $40 (approx maybe less)
Hotel $30 (just for those that are staying in Mesa, and I don't need the money until we check in)

Don't worry about the money for the shirts. I will be paying for the shirts with the sponsor money. If it doesn't cover the whole cost, I will divide up whats left over and you can mail it to me.
Thursday, we are meeting in Mesa at 3:00pm at Lori Nelsons sisters her address is

Please if you have any questions call Me 520 572-9191
Hey Sarah!
Monday, February 23, 2009
Good News!!
At least 2 headlamps per van it is nice to have more, but not mandatory.
At least 2 Reflecting vest per van it is nice to have more, because you can not get out of the van at night without a vest on. You will get penalized if caught.
2 running safety tail lights per van.
Sarah's list for packing
sleeping bag
pillow
toothbrush and paste
shampoo,soap,and things to make me pretty
Towel washcloth
deoderant(this is mandatory for van2)
Sunscreen
Sunglasses
2 longsleeve shirts for under race shirt.
1 windbraker just in case
1 ear warmer (thats for two ears) in case your wondering
1 pair of gloves
running shoes
1 pair of running pants
1 capri?
3 shorts
4 pairs of Socks and UNDERWEAR (ALSO MANDATORY FOR VAN2)
ipod
camera
Meds.
comfy clothes and slip on shoes for when I'm not running
1 pair of jammies
bag for my smelly clothes
Again you don't have to use this list, but it's here if you need it. Also if you guys have nay questions call me 520 572-9191. Those that have headlamps and vest bring them. It would be better to have to many, than not enough.
ALMOST TIME TO PUT YOUR GAME FACE ON!!!
Up until this point I've been preparing my game for the race, I think I've done all I can for that.
Now I'm starting to get all my ducks in a row and trying to organize things for my husband and kids while I'm away (Utah girls, my hat goes off to you for making the trip!).
I'm coming across some questions...I'm sure I'll come across more as I keep checking things off my list. But here are a few I have now:
1. I know I owe people money. Shirts? Van? Food? Just tell me who and how much. Maybe I should just bring my checkbook?
2. What is the agenda for Thursday? What time are we meeting in Mesa? Where exactly?
3. Is there anything else (besides the list that was posted) that I should bring? I've never done this type of race before and if a veteran Ragnar Relay-er could give me some inside tips that would be awesome!
4. Should I have my husband meet me at the finish line? Totally unsure how that is going to work.
Alright, I think those are my major questions. Anyone and everyone feel free to shout out your answers! :)
I was telling Val, I feel a lot like a girl who's going to her first year of girl's camp and I want to bring everything just in case. I'm super nervous, but totally excited. I can't wait to meet all you wonderful woman and make some lasting memories!

Almost Here!!
About the ice chests, all you girls from Utah don't worry about them. I will get them round up and in the vans before we leave. It will be easier and not a big deal. Katrina don't worry about it. I can get them. I have 3 regular sized ones so if I can't find a couple of big ones I will just bring some of them. I will do my best to find the bigger ones if that is what everyone wants. I will get with Lori and take care of that, but thanks to everyone. Can't wait to see all of you.

Nikki thanks for still running with me today. I know I was a total B---- the other day. I loved the run today I felt so good. Thank you for pushing me I know I will appreciate more when I am running the race.

illuminate vests
We're (me and Sarah) are trying to figure out how many vests/headlamps we have and if we need to purchase any. I think we have enough headlamps but I'm not sure on the vests. Please let us know ASAP if you have one.
Katrina... I know you said you could look down in the valley if we need to get some, are you still open to do that - just in case?
I'm so excited to see all of you and I know this is crazy but I'm also so excited to introduce you to my mom and sister - I want to show all of you off!!! Our team of amazing runners!!! My sister is still planning on the Spaghetti dinner on Thursday so come with an appetite!
Last week of training...YAHOO
Oh, the sights, smells, and sounds

Utah Girls!
I was trying to think of a way to break our trip down and get to Mesa sooner and so I talked to Nikki about leaving Wed. evening (6:00p.m.) and driving to St. George and staying at my In-Laws Condo and then we could get to Mesa earlier in the day on Thursday. Nikki looked up on the internet and it will only add 52 miles to our trip but it will make it so we can get to Mesa by 3:00p.m. and we won't have to leave Utah so dang early. See what you think about it. The condo has plenty of room and we can just sleep on top of the beds with our sleeping bags and there are 2 bathrooms so we could get ready fast and just leave. Let me know what you think.

Okay here is the leg assignments. Hopefully this is final, since the race is only 11 days away. I hope all you feel good about your leg assignments and you're as anctious to get this race on as I am! I am very excited. Anyone that's feeling the pressure or nervous, don't be. Set a goal for yourself and try to reach it. My goal is always just don't walk, slow your pace just don't walk. Everyone knows what they're capable of, so set your goals accordingly. Make sure you don't set it to high, but challenge yourself. We are a team, but it's best if everyone sets their individual goals, and then as a team we cheer you on and help you try to reach them. We are going to have a GREAT TIME! And remember the team is your cheerleader and support not your critic. Can't wait to meet you all!

Does this help to motivate you?
"I believe in the runner's high, and I believe that those who are passionate about running are the ones who experience it to the fullest degree possible. To me, the runner's high is a sensational reaction to a great run! It's an exhilarating feeling of satisfaction and achievement. It's like being on top of the world, and truthfully... there's nothing else quite like it!" --Sasha Azevedo

Ok Guys, One more week of HARD Training!
ITEMS THE TEAMS MUST HAVE IN THE VAN
At least 2 headlamps per van it is nice to have more, but not mandatory.
At least 2 Reflecting vest per van it is nice to have more, because you can not get out of the van at night without a vest on. You will get penalized if caught.

sleeping bag
pillow
toothbrush and paste
shampoo,soap,and things to make me pretty
Towel washcloth
deoderant(this is mandatory for van2)
Sunscreen
Sunglasses
2 longsleeve shirts for under race shirt.
1 windbraker just in case
1 ear warmer (thats for two ears) in case your wondering
1 pair of gloves

3 shorts
4 pairs of Socks and UNDERWEAR (ALSO MANDATORY FOR VAN2)

Meds.
comfy clothes and slip on shoes for when I'm not running

Desmon????
On another note I agree bring on the race! Training is over rated. Just Kidding I'm sticking with it but I am ready to be with all of you and have some fun while I have to run. This blog is therapeutic to being a mom who likes to run thanks everyone!

Our little Desmon, needs you.
Those of you who haven't heard my niece, Nikki's daughter, Desmon is really sick. She has been battling with Crohn's Disease for about 5 or so years now, and unfortunately Crohn's has had the upper hand. Yesterday she had a CT scan and they found polyps on her lungs. She will be going into surgery tomorrow. Please remember her in your prayers. The family is having a special fast tonight, and would love to have anyone join that would like too. Please keep her, and her family in your hearts and prayers.
Thanks!

Carbo Loading...
I just wanted to run this by you and see what you think. From what I understand, the Utah gang, Sarah and Katrina will be parking your cars at my sisters house in Gilbert. Sarah and I were thinking of meeting there around 3:00 on Thursday; we can decorate our vans there. Also, being the most charitable person I know; my sister said she will feed us spaghetti, salad and garlic bread. I figure we could pitch in around $3.00 a person. I think most of us are trying to cut costs as much as possible. What do you think? Can Utah get here around 3:00. I'm excited to see all of you and I really want my mom and sister to meet you!

Revised Reservations
Lori and Marinda, I have to confess, I didn't get my 30 miles in this week. I spent all day preparing my Relief Society Lesson and never found time for a run. I am a little disappointed, but next week my goal is 35miles. To make up for my laziness this week. I have to say i am so proud of how hard everyone is training you guys are an awesome team! Keep it up, it's almost game time!

Motel for Sat. night.
Wipe Out
MORE LEG CHANGES
With all these new course changes (thats about to drive me crazy! I train for hills and get distance, I train for distance and get hills, now I have both hopefully it won't change again)!!! Anyway we decided to move around some of the leg assignments, see below:
LEG #1 - KIM
LEG #2 - VAL
LEG #3 - LORI
LEG #4 - MOLLY
LEG #5 - ZAHLORE
LEG #6 - EMILEE
When you get a chance, look over your legs to see if this is okay. If you want to change, get with that person and work out a trade. I hope this is okay with everyone!!
I look so forward to meeting you all! I'm excited to run with Zahlore again, you are hilarious!
Advice?

Starting time - Volunteers - Course update
Last, but not least, Course Map update. If you haven't heard the course map has changed a bit. It really hasn't affected van 2, but van 1, just a little bit. Leg 1 not much, but a little more difficult. Leg 2 easier - Leg 3 a little more diff. Leg 4no change, and Leg 5 HARDER. So if any of you would like to switch, contact that person. Kim would like more miles if she could get them. She is leg 2. Just look it over, talk it over, and let Lori "Sexy Legs" Nelson and I know.
Thanks again guys for making this possible. If I wouldn't have found a team,,,,well,,, I guess I would've been running with the Joe City crew. No, but I am so excited and I hope you all are too. Keep up the training, we are almost there.

Karleen Rehrer
Marinda Parry
Lori Nelson
Deni Berger
Kim Weight
Kandice Compas
Allison Lomax
Erica Wilde
Raquel Hughes???
(She may be going to her class reunion instead. Crazy I know! Does anyone go to those anymore? J/Kiddin')
So far we are full, in less someone drops out.
The Shirts we ordered are for Del Sol and Wasatch. We will let you know the cost once we find out ourselves. Thanks!
Oh, and to all you that are posting on the blog WOOOHOOO you guys ROCK! Last year it was basically Kar and I making fun of each other.
One more thing let me know who is planning on stay the night in Mesa Saturday. I am getting rooms. I am staying. I am planning on PARTYING (Alcohol free of course) with my sistas, and the rest of the UTAH GANG. I"ll be seeing you soon!
Woooo hooo this is Las Tres Chicas okay it's Emilee or Em is what she gets called, our mom, who ran the 5K in St. George and Me, Kim (When we were in St. George running the half marathon) Our mom is 66 and she is awesome she got 2nd place in her division which she calls old. she wanted to celebrate the 3 of us running and said that she bought us the twinner shirts so that we would be able to run really fast. This is after the race so we have that beautiful after race glow (NOT!) So this be us!!!
I have a question can someone put the list of who is on for the Wasatch Back. I know with Em leaving it creates a space and I know 2 girls in my neighborhood who would LOVE to run with us if there is the need so just let me know. My friend Kandice is running the wasatch back with us and she is awesome we actually run by her house in Morgan. Can you say hot showers?
Okay here is my challenge question: Who wants to run the Ogden Marathon May 16th. I thought it would be a great way to break in my aaaahhh having to turn 40 in May. I am nervous but I know my mentality is weaker than my physical so maybe I can get the two of them to get along. Anyway, it is cheaper if you register before Jan. 31st the race is May 16th so I think I am going to go for it. A bunch of runners I have talked to said its an excellent race to start off with so aaaaah here I go!
Thank you for getting the shirts that is great. I was kind of hoping for tube tops but I guess we can still look sexy in tanks (just kidding) I already love you all!
Kim
Shirts
I am not fast either and everytime I think I am really getting faster I read the blog and get smashed. O'well I am just going to do my best and have a whole lot of fun.
