Tuesday - 6.5 miles in Laughlin along the Colorado River.  This running path is getting easier for me.  4th time is a charm!

Thursday - 4.4 miles in North Las Vegas with MR.

Saturday - 10.5 met a couple of ladies from a running group to run with.  They are certainly faster than me.  I was struggling and sucking wind the last 4 miles.  Wind that was blowing in my face that must have been at least 40 mph.  Or at least it felt that way.  Hopefully they let me run with them again- I think it would really improve my game having to push myself a little more often.  And I will remember in the future to ask how far we are running before we start- rather than finding out at mile 5 that we were only half way done.  I was just so happy to have someone to run with that I didn't think about how far....

Running along the river sounds beautiful! Great long run! How did you find the running club?

Yay! Running friends are almost as good as sisters ;)

HUGE smiles on my face! Nice runs this week! So glad you found a group of running friends! :)

Um, yeah, you better run with MR in North Las Vegas. Are you freaking crazy? Stay away from that area. Everyone knows that. Hey, I'll be in Kingman in March for Emily's baptism. It's only 30 minutes away from Laughlin....

Terri - there is nothing beautiful about running along the Colorado River in Laughlin. Unless you like being eaten by mosquitoes and the smell of raw sewage.

Terri- running along the river really was beautiful. Don't listen to a Burt. He wouldn't know beauty if it stung him like a scorpion.

RAD/- true dat.

Smooth- thanks. It IS nice to hear other voices besides the ones in my head.

Burt- I would love to go to Emily's baptism. Send more details. And don't hate on the Laughlin. There wasn't one mosquito and the smell of raw sewage must only blow into Arizona. That's why they call it Bull Crap city.
