A nice trail run at starting at Mary's. We had a new face for our Saturday run, although she has been running with the Frutia group some durring the week. We like to welcome Stephanie to the FRunners group. I think it is time we got some new shirts.... and Betsy is back from having a baby and ran with us. Good to see her out. Someone told Kenny we were running..... He is getting a bit fast.

We started at mary's loop and ran to another loop and ran back. It was a nice day and run. Stephanie brought her two dogs and they seemed a bit tired at the end (They probably ran 10 times farther than us) There were a bunch of moutain bikers camped out, we saw a few on the trail but most were still in bed when we left.

We had Carla, Jill, Betsy, Michelle, Kellie, Andrea, Stephanie, Jason, Kenny and John

Kenny missed another run, the girls missed him. The Frunners ran the river trail loop. Some ran farther than others.

Michelle, Carla, Andrea, Kami, Amy, John, Don started by the redlands parkway and met Jill and Jeena at Albertsons. Don ran with us agian and looked good. Carla was concerned that he may show up so we picked him up.

We stopped at Albertsons and had some drinks. Jill and Jeena had some water for us. Those training for a marathon-Kami, Michelle, Amy and Andrea, who is just running for fun, ran some extra at the end. Just a nice run. We will start doing trail runs in a few weeks after the Boston Marathon.

March 29, 2008

Anthor nice run today. Some of the FRunners got up at 4:45AM to run, Got to get the miles in before Soccer games and such. Some ran about 10 miles before others showed up. Don Ross came today, New Eye candy for the giorls. Two week in a row. Someone forgot to tell Kenny we were running.....

Don is training for the Half marathon in SLC. Amy is running the marathon in SLC. Also training are Jason B, Kami and Kellie for the Boston Marathon and Carla for her Phoenix IronMan. The rest of us are runing, cause we got nothing else to do. We had Jason B, Don, Andrea (Good to see her with the group), Michelle, Kami, Kellie, Carla, Amy, and John.

As a note Jason B ran 26 trail miles on Friday out by Mary's Loop, a few more than he wanted......

March 22, 2008

There were Frunners running all over. Some more crazy than others. Kenny and Mike from SF showed up to run with us. We had not seen Mike for a while. He looked as fit as ever.

The girls had not seen a new man in a while so Kenny was a welcome addition. Some ran 5, others 10 and some 20 or so. It was a nice day for a run. Suzy, John, Carla, Jason B, Kellie, Michelle, Kenny, Kami, Jason L, Amy and Mike.

March 1, 2008 Run

It was very nice weather for a run. We had Amy, Jill, Jeena, Carla, John, Michelle, Doug, Jason B., Kelly, Kami, Kristin, Lauren, Brittanie and Jason L. We had not seen Jason L for a while. He was in secret training. It seems Andrea did not answer the door when Kristen came over... we missed you.

The run was two Fruita Loops-10 miles a loop. Some went for one loop, others one loop plus some and others two loops. We had a nice stop with drinks and the signs that were ran over last week had been replaced.

The questionof the run...why school buses are yellow-Per Wikipedia..

School bus yellow is a color which was especially formulated for use in United States school buses in 1939. The color is now officially known in the U.S. as National School Bus Glossy Yellow and was originally called National School Bus Chrome. In April of that year, Dr. Frank W. Cyr, a professor at Teachers College, Columbia University in New York organized a conference that established national school-bus construction standards, including the standard color of yellow for the school bus. It became known officially as "National School Bus Chrome." The color was selected because black lettering on that hue was easiest to see in the semi-darkness of early morning.... there you go, it is about the lettering.

Feb 23, 2008 Run

We had a nice group today. Amy, Jill, Carla, John, Brad, Michelle, Doug, Stephen, Jason B., Kelly, Kami, Kristin, and Andrea. Some ran less than 10, some ran 10 and some ran more than 10.. around 17 or more. The Fruita Loop was run. The weather was fine, a bit humid and wet. It is getting warmer. Doug was feeling a bit under the weather and Stephen had an appointment to make. I hear Jason L went out and ran a bit later. Kristin has run with us before and she brought a friend Andrea. If you run with us once, you are a FRunner. (Of course there are dues that need to be paid, Cash only, see John at the next run)

At about 5 miles the Chapmans had put out some drinks. It seems the FRunners have some enemies as they found out where the Chapmans had put the drinks and decided to run them over with a large vehicle. They did get a Gatorade or two but there still was sufficient drinks for the FRunners, bring it on... And as a note the "Enemies" also took out a stop sign and street sign in their exuberance to destroy our drinks.

Pictures on the road....

Someone ran over our drinks that the Chapmans put out, and the stop sign and the street signs.

Feb 16, 2008 run

Jill, John and Carla ran Mary's Loop. Others were a bit smarter and ran on the road somewhere. The group could of ran the 1/2 in the same about of time. Jill slipped and soiled her tights. Carla, amazingly enough did not fall. There was bunches of snow on the backside and it was like running in sand, cold sand.
