Nothing too exciting, just a nice run along the canals with a little trail at the turning point where we were able to refuel our bodies (thanks to Power Bar gels) and refill our waters. Sheryl had her awesome iphone on hand so we even managed to get a picture.
Sheryl and Rhonda 
Rhonda and Marla (looking mighty funny I might add). Usually when we run, we eventually put our earbuds in when we've grown too tired to talk and just need music to keep us going. But none of us put our headphones in this day and the conversation rarely stopped. Running with your friends builds special bonds and wonderful friendships. So while this was just a regular Saturday run it made me thankful once again to have amazing friends to run with, laugh with, learn from and celebrate the fact that we can get out and push ourselves together. During the course of this run, we chose the marathon that we wanted to sign up for. There are many to choose from but we all agreed that we want to try the Utah Valley Marathon in June. We had not planned to run a marathon this soon so now we are stepping up our miles faster than we originally intended to. Today we texted one by one to say we actually signed up, it's official, we are doing a marathon. This will be a second for both Sheryl and Marla but it will be my first. I am so excited about the race and the many training runs we have before the race. Hopefully many of them in the mountains.
