2nd St George was in 2010. We went with a big group again and this time I was trained to qualify for Boston (or so I thought!). Unfortunately the weather was about 20 degrees warmer than it was in '07 and my body could not keep up the pace. I was extremely disappointed and took a break from marathons. (This was my 8th marathon!). Decided instead to try for a baby. I got pregnant, but miscarried in January of this year. A week after the miscarriage, I signed up for the Newport Marathon. I knew I needed something to get me motivated to lose weight and to keep my mind off my disappointment. So, here I am, 3 weeks away from a marathon and I just signed up for another one. Am I crazy or what?! I never thought I would do St George again, but peer pressure, (and remembering that it really is a great marathon!) sucked me in!
I am excited to do this one with a group this year, especially since Suziepetunia will be joining us from Texas and my sweet husband suprised me and signed up and it will be his first marathon.

congrats! i did not get in. Boo!! disappointed, yes but things happen for a reason, right? Fun to see you on Saturday.
I was telling my friend Stephanie about you and a few minutes later you came breezing past us. She said, "Didn't you say she was injured?!" I said, yep, she's amazing!! I am sorry you didn't get into St. George, but I am sure you will find another one! You will do great at Windermere and/or Utah. :-) Can't wait to hear your results. Nice job on the half. It was a warm day.
I wish! Some year . . .
Yay! Happy for you, darlin!
It's been forever since I've checked this site...ever since I fell off the marathon training wagon. Glad to see that you still post Kel. St. George is going to be great. Can't wait. I need to do a post here soon and share how we met on this site only to coincidentally move to the same city and become good friends. To come...
Annie- this is your fault for getting the idea in my head. :-) I am so glad you are running it and that I decided to follow you! It has been great running with you and getting to know you better. I am so glad I met you through this site! I would love to hear your version. :-)
