Finally reigned in the horses today and took it easy. The wind was really whipping today at around 15-20 MPH but the temp was a real shocker at 50 degrees this morning. With the wind I imagine it probably felt cooler but it actually felt pretty good. Ran solo for the last couple of miles because Megan's ankle has been bothering her a bit the last couple of weeks and she would like to try and get it feeling better before Painter's next week. I know her fitness is fine for the race I hope she decides to back off until the race and listen to her body. A runner, listen to his/her body, ya right!?!?

Quick question for anyone that may have heard of this. I was approached by my daughters basketball coach about doing some online fitness coaching for a company called Team Beach Body. It's one of those amway type deals where you get your friends involved etc, etc. He and his wife are making some pretty good extra side money from it but I am always very skeptical of these things. If anyone has had any experience with this company in particular I would love to hear some of your thoughts and input. Thanks.

50 degrees is great, but the wind not so much. I'll take upper 30s and no wind over that. I hope we have good weather next weekend in St. George. I've never heard of team Beach Body. Sounds like you are going to do your homework before you get involved. Let us know what you find out.

I have a neighbor who is part of teambeachbody.com I think you basically try to sell a workout called p90x It is very expensive for what you get (IMHO)If you have a lot of friends that would want to sell/buy it then go for it other wise I would stay away. I tried the workout and It really is not made for runners more for somebody who want to look good on the beach.

I have the P90X and it has some good things in it like yoga and stretching core training and body building... I have never really used it yet but I plan on it down the road. I mainly want to try the core training, I think runners can always use a strong core;-D

I don't know anything about Team Beach Body, sorry!

Can't wait to see you and Meg at Painter's. I'm sure her ankle will behave with a little rest.

That is some crazy wind. Only a crazy runner would run in that!! :)

Tell Meg that I hope her ankle starts feeling better real soon.
