15.6 Miles, The Impossible Dream

So... we had a "Wasatch Back Planning Meeting" at work last Friday. In true accountant form we all determined a meeting time/place (we actually got to meet in the conference room... oooooooh!) and came prepared with papers and notebooks and pens... I love being a geek, it involves so many office supplies! Our meeting determined who would run what stretch of the relay race in June. I am so super excited now!! I was been TRAUMATIZING myself that I would "get" some portion of the race that is STRAIGHT UPHILL...something you would need a rope and harness to climb, much less try to run! Well fate has been good to me!! Miracles do indeed happen!! My stretches of the race are totally FLAT!! Wahoooooo!! Of course I am running 15.6 miles... that is a little more than my record distance of 6 miles (which I ran on a treadmill... pretty sure I might have needed serious resuscitation after that run)! I am getting totally stocked for the race!! Keep a weather eye on the horizon, we will ALL see a miracle if I live through this!!

(By the way... see that shoe picture... I found that shoe online... it has the word TURBO in the shoe name... how cool is that?!! I wonder if it comes with jet rockets or wheelees! I think I might NEED some of those... maybe if I start auctioning rides in Amy's "luxury" car I could raise enough moola for those jet rocket boosters!)
