The FRunners John, Kristen, Andrea, Lara, Celeste, Diane, Tarra, Jill, Carla, Michelle, and Kirk

It was a good 10 miles for most. It may of been the longest run for some Diane...

A Fruita run, the Fruit Loop or Megan's Run. There was Gatorade at about 5 miles. The run was sponsored by Michelle. Contrary to popular belief most people like the course. It seems that some people, Jeena and Suzy, rather go skiing than run. We missed you, but you probably did not miss us.. We had a couple WTT (Went to Temple)-Bairs and a few DNS... you know who you are.. Kirk came injured. A few ran about 7 as they had things to go too.

We have a meeting with the shirt people this week. We will have updates next week.

The FRunners: Jill, Jeena, Tarra, Celeste, Darrin, Michelle, Kristen,Carla,Andrea, Paul, Stephen and John. Paul's first group run Photo.
Celeste's longest run , ever,10 Miles


Eating refreshments and Andrew looking like he's coming back to run with us... if we ran in the afternoon....

Congratulations to Amy on having a baby boy. We'll see her soon back with us!
Congratulations-Darrin and Darcey (mostly Darcey) are going to have a boy..after a few girls.
Also, a FRunners first-timer, Paul, who the girls appreciated ran with the group. They get tired of the same old boys. Paul is training for the Gateway half-marathon. And Carla found her Garmin she lost six months ago... and yes John had bought her another one, so John now has a garmin, there is something wrong with it though, as it not recording his 6 minute miles correctly...they look line 9, perhaps he just has the watch on upside down.

Harmons sponsored the run, there were mini-muffins at the end, very tastey. The run started at Jill's and went up to Star Canyon to wildwood, then down around to baseline and back. It was a nice mix of trail and road. There was pelnty of gatorade and the weather was nice. A little cold after you stop and drink but nice. Some Frunners took a short cut at the end.. you know who you are Andrea, Kristen and Darrin. And Doug did not make it, a DNF! and Besty will get a BB for Big Baby (The standard Designation for needing to watch your kids)

Some runners wanted to get ten miles exactly so they kept running around... Celeste posted her longest run to date at 10 miles, congratulations.

On the run:
Betsy, Stephen, John, Carla, Brad, Jeena, Jill, Angie, Diane, Tarra, Andrea, Kristen, Suzy, Celeste, Michelle, and Doug.



The Bairs sponsored today's run. Most of us ran two loops, a 5 + mile loop and then another 4 miles. There were refreshments at the Bairs between the loops and after the run... no waffles though. There were many there. Doug came out of retirement to run with us. Darrin made it. Kirk did not. Seem he has some knee issues. Dr. Whitesides has been called. (I think he has seen most of the FRunners-He should sponsor us)

Some ran a bit before the run, Andrea, Krisen and Michelle... The first loop ran from the Bairs up to L road and down 18.5 and back. The second loop went over to 16 road and back. At the start of the second loop, Jill was left in the bathroom, she did catch up to us. Most of us wanted to wait but.... Jeena had a primary party, she seems a bit old to still go to those. There also was an exchange of Spark. (A substance not currently banned by the FRunners governing board, although investigations are continuing)

Doug joined us for the last loop and Andrew was to come but his wife forgot to call him at the end of the first loop.

Also, not directly related to the run, Frunner XXX (Name withheld) stirred up some trouble this week with the Prairie Dog Relocation people. Angie was sporting a dawg shirt is support of the dawgs.

FRunners: Suzy, Jeena, Jill, Betsy, Stephen, Kirk, Tarra, Lara, Angie, Diane,Michelle, John, Carla, Tracy and almost Darrin.

Besty and others (Suzy-Stephen) seemed to have ridden in a car the last mile or so..


Kirk bought a 4-wheel drive vehicle last week, looks very nice

Diane loves her head lamp, Tracy found us.

We now have a sponsor for each Saturday run. This run was sponsored by Jenna. We met at the Methodist church on Broadway and ran up to and around the water tower and back. There were nice drinks at the start of the water tower section. (Thanks Jeena) The water towerr course is a bit trickier to run in the light, as it seemed there were more turn-offs, and who knew?, it runs right by the golf course.

Tracy was waiting for us at Water Tower and figured she was late to meet us and started running. Tracy saw us at the end and ran with the group.

Some people needed to cut the run short because of some youth basketball games, they ran as far as they could. Angie and Kirk took a short cut that was straight uphill, I suppose it was quicker but harder. Others with basketball... Brad, did not to show up. Darrin tried to run with us but was a bit late...Seems he could not get out of bed. Stephen was feeling a bit ill, but ran.
