Only runners get up before roosters!!

So you know we get up too early to run when we beat the rooster! This morning we finished our run and found a little feathery friend hanging out by our cars. I think he was a little hacked off that we didn't stay in bed til he told us it was time to get up because he took off and chased after Stephanie. Pretty funny sight! Who'd have thought??!!

How goes the 30/30 run?

???

Well I have been trying to comment on people's post and it just keeps directing me to log in so I do and then it has me verify and then shoots me back to the log in page. Not sure what's going on so here is my comment to the pictures of the meeting: "I just wish I would have been there to eat the food! Thats the whole point of our races. Cable Bridge Run = Olive Garden!!! S2S Relay = Red Robin! Yummy food! "

It's All About The Food

Ok, you want the truth? Here it is....We only formed this running group as a front so that we could have a reason to get together and eat! It just sounds good if we say that we're a "running" group.

Sam Schram

I thought I'd take a moment to introduce Sam Schram. Sam is a welcome addition to the team. Coming in as an alternate runner for our team I honestly think she has the toughest job out there. It would be difficult to train not knowing for sure if you will be running, and then which leg you could potentially be running. As an alternate runner you have to be prepared to tackle any leg of the race. Up hill, down hill, hot, cold, flat, night, etc. I know I can speak for my fellow runners when I say how impressed we are with her tenacity and quiet strength. She is an example to all of us and we are excited to see what she can do. Today she found her first shiny penny, so she is officially one of the Shiny Penny's!

10 Miler

What a good looking bunch of girls, tough and ready to take on the roads. Today we got together for our 10 mile run, and man what a beautiful morning! The temp was a little cool starting out but by the end it had warmed up pretty good. Today was the first time two of our runners went 10 miles and all I have to say is "you rock girls!!" This run ended week 13 of our 18 week training so we are almost there! :)

A bit o' dirt on Chris

Hello. I am Chris Isaacson. I am excited to run S2S for the second year with SPS. I was a back-up runner last year and was used because Fawn got hurt. My daughter Sarah was on the team so I was happy to take the #4 spot on the team. I have been a runner throughout my life. I ran track at Mac-Hi but was a sprinter. I had been watching Sarah run and was intrigued by the races and started to train for my first 5k in November of 2009 at the age of 58. I am now 60 years old and am using my training for S2S to train for my first marathon - the Top of Utah marathon in September. I am enjoying the challenge and seeing how far I can push myself.
I am the proud mother of 5 children, grandmother of 18 and wife. I love to spend time with my kids and grandkids and to take trips just about anywhere.
