Thirty years ago at a ward dinner, when I was pregnant with Ty, I met a very sweet, kindhearted blonde, named Lynne, who was pregnant with Jordan. We both loved to run but since we were pregnant we just started walking together early in the morning. As soon as our babies were born, we started to run in earnest. Soon after an energetic, long-legged, Camille, moved into my neighborhood and quickly joined us. Even though we all kept having children, we kept running. In fact, we ran races and marathons and mountain races and relays. Now, we just run for the fun of it and we run almost exclusively on the mountain trails east of our homes. Fantastic mother and snowboarder, Jaci, joined us, then amazing, mission mom to Mexico, Shauna, and finally young, speedy, Jackie came running along. Now, as you can see, all these women are 7 to 16 years younger than I am and much skinnier, but they are so wonderful to be with that I won't let them dump me from the group (especially since I am a charter member). These women are the most spiritual, loyal, dependable, loving women ever. I love them all and I learn from them everyday I am with them. P.S. Jackie didn't make it for this picture.
