Tarra, Jill, Lara, Angie, Carla, Brad, John and Kirk (Not pictured Betsy or Michelle or Andrea or Kristin...........)

It was a rainy morning. The run was scheduled in Fruita. However, after a text from Betsy and a call from Michelle, the Fruita run was canceled. The text "Too rainy....not running!"

On the other side of the river, the weather was much better, a slight drizzle. As a bunch of people were meeting at Jills to drive down, we decided to meet there a run a 5-6 mile loop. Carla needed to run Nicholas to the "high school". She was to meet us at Jill's. On the way down to the High School, Nicholas (aka Boy) had a remembrance, he needed to go to Palisade high school.

Carla took the Boy down to Palisade and made it back to the run, when we had about a 1 mile left. John ran with her back to their house and Carla ran the rest of the loop...

The run was nice for the most part it did rain a bit heaver for about 10 minutes in the middle of the run. Tarra, was going to split off and go home but hung in there. Jill was practicing her race day running strategy and ran beat us all to the end.

The Cliffords had on their matching plasitic rain ware. The rest of us just toughed it out.

Just want to give a Shout Out to Diane, for trying to get the 8th ward out early on Sunday, Admirable. We all were hoping....



On the run.. 16 FRunners... Good Group
Betsy, Diane, Suzy, Tarra, Lara, Andrea, Kristin, Jill, Angie, Michelle, Jenna, Stephen, John, Brad, Jenni, and Carla

A nice 6 mile, okay more like 7 plus and 8 for some. Brad for some reason thought it was 6, he received bad information. The run started at the Jr Service league parking lot and ran up to Albertsons. Michelle, Kristin and Andrea ran around Albertsons while we rested. Stephen ran back a ways to give Jenni the keys to the car as she was running an up and back.

After we left Albertsons, we ran the trail up the hill and had a drink. A couple FRunners left us as they had basket ball games to get too. The rest of us ran back to the cars. Brad and Stephen had not ran for a while. Good to see them back with us. Jenni also showed up for the run. She looked good, it is always nice to get out and run with others.

Michelle, John, Kristen, Darrin, Jeena, Heidi, Carla, Diana, Tarra, Suzy, Cory, Jill, Kristi, and Andrea

A nice 6 mile run. The run started at at South Camp and Rim Rock Drive and went to the Kohls House. We met at the Kohls. Heidi brought her kids over to play with Madison. There were three Men, Cory, John and Darrin. The weather was a bit cold and everyone was a bit sung in the Suburban as we all drove out to the starting point together. There was a bit of drink at Riggs hill... Andrea and Kristen did not stop as they needed to get home and ran on in front. The rest of of took a water stop. I am sure they are other FRunners running, I hear Doug has gotten back out....

Cory was running in his Scent blocking pants, that he hunts in. According to Cory (if he was heard correctly), if you ware these pants you do not need to shower or ever wash them, as they soak up your scent. Incredible. We'll see how long Cory can go without showering.

This is the most men we have had in a while, It was good to see Darrin. We has one BBNS (Blame the Baby No Show-Betsy) Darcy, according to Darrin, is pregnant, congratulations.

Tarra, Jill and Jeena gave John a ride back to the Suburban, it was nice so John did not have to run back.

Cory saving Diane's life, as he pushed her off the road, as a car passed by...

Kristen, Celeste, Carla, Suzy, Michelle, Jeena, Kirk, Tarra, Angie, Jill, Betsy, Hiedi and John

The first run of the new year. We had lots of runners. The weather was relatively fine. The course started at the turn off to snoocks bottom going down the road to Horse Thief Canyon. The run was around 6 miles. The road is much more more hilly when you run it, rather than drive it.

Betsy and Hiedi are on the come back tour from injury and Babies. They plan on running the moab half with most of the runners. It will be Kirks first 1/2 as well as Celeste's, not sure if Angies is running it or not.

Jill decided to beat everyone to the cars as she wanted to finish. Kristen, John, Michelle, and Kirk ran a bit further than the rest as the group, they turned around at the porti-potti. Michelle, of course, had to run a few yards extra to get exactly the correct milage.

Jeena has some snazzy shoe things that attached to her shoe to give her traction. Suzy brought her two dogs. Angie is unstable-her words. It was a nice snow run, that seemed harder than it should of been.

Apparently, Kirk had to help Tarra with her pants (Get a room)


Jeena's nifty shoe thing... she has some flexability (Hear tell, a dancer back in the day)

Carla, Michelle, Kristen, Andrea and John

A few of us got together after Christmas. It had rained a bit and the roads were ice... The run was the John Torture run as he does not like the route through the redlands subdivisions. It turned out to be a torture run for all. It took an hour and 20 minutes to run 5 miles (we are usually at least a couple minutes faster).

Michelle slipped and fell once on the road. We all slid down the road. Half way through the run the wind started and it was miserable, cold, wet and slippery, we cut a mile off the run and made it back to the Kohls slowly. The best thing about the run is that it was over. Michelle had to slowly drive home....
