things are going to be fine.

paul and i were talking last night (tangent: it is the best feeling in the world to be constantly reminded that you married the right person, that he is more perfect for you after 8 years of marriage than than he was after 1 day, that he is a rock, a smile, and a dang good friend).

anyways, paul encouraged me to run, if i wanted, some races this summer and fall. including the goblin valley ultra in october. oh, yes, i want to! i'm including top of utah and maybe another summer marathon in my goals (depending on my ability to train between now and then; i'm pertty much starting from scratch).

SO. anyone looking for an adventure? a challenge? a rewarding good time? start training now, and join me on the trails in beautiful goblin valley--if you don't want to do the 50k, there are 25k and 10k races as well.

welp, i'm off to make a training schedule...for today's workout, i'll shoot for about 1/20th of a mile...

You are crazy and amazing! I hope it goes well! Maybe when I am perfected I will enjoy running, then I'll come. I'll get Andrea to come too :o)

So right before I was about to write 800 "hahaha"'s about the ultra marathon, I noticed 25K and 10K's at Goblin Valley, too.

eeeeenteresting.

Ok. I might be in for one of those. I'm running a half in september and a 15 point whatever in october sounds maybe doable (?)

Aaron's running TOU this year. It's his first full marathon, so we'll be there cheering.

Brittney said...

trina--no rush. please.

katie--i hope you're not toying with my heart. PLEEEEEEASE bust out the goblin valley run this year. sers. please. okay, fine, you can wait awhile before you register or whatev (i'm waiting until, like, august), but do keep it in mind. nothing would make my heart happier than to know you were there with me!!

jeff--thanks. paul and i have missed seeing you and katy. hope everything's going well for you & your girls. :)
