As you may already know, Jessica has some cell phone issues. Mostly she just never answers it. You may be one of the thousands frustrated by her lack of cell-availability. You may wonder why she even owns a cell phone. You may also be harboring a secret belief that she is the biggest nerd in the world. If you identify with any of these... this film is for you.
PS Get excited for the soon to be added blooper reel!
Or, if you don't want to wait, you could send a self addressed envelope, 2 General Mills UPC symbols, and $1.00 to us and we'll send you a dvd complete with movie and blooper reel... not a bad deal.

Jess and I have realized that our last blog was…what’s the right word? Disturbing? The problem here is that jess has been sick and feverish the past few days and I…well I have no excuse except that I’d been inside almost the whole day and was going a little crazy. And we think we’re hilarious when really we’re just weird. In light of our insanity and the blog found directly below, we thought it appropriate to do a follow up (either to justify the temporary madness, or confirm that it is, in fact, a permanent problem: you decide).


Today’s topic is running through sickness. Jessica and I have had some fun adventures this past week. Starting with Huntington Beach on Sunday, Disneyland Monday, driving back to Provo Tuesday, a rained out track meet at the U on Wednesday, and finally a rescheduled track meet on Thursday. Jess had made a few comments about not feeling well before her race, but she ran the 1500 meters anyway posting a 5:04. Although she has run better times in practice, we took comfort in the fact that she was not last place. Coach’s post race meeting went something like this, “Have you been taking your iron?” Yeah, he was proud. Little did we know that Jess would spend a feverish night shaking under 7,000 blankets.


The next morning while talking to my brother, Kyle on the phone about it he said, “I feel like you girls are always getting sick when you race. Is that just bad timing?” Good question, “Kyle”… if that really is your name.





Moving on… racing under the influence of …influenza (I had a little bird, her name was Enza, I opened up the window and in flew Enza- best when sung while jump-roping) often results in slower times, bad placing, ugly pictures, and in rare cases death (refer to Cecily’s indoor conference 5k). However, racing while sick can be a positive experience with the help of Divine Intervention. Let’s review the past. During cross country 2007 sickness was overcome a total of two times resulting in some pretty awesome races: Hawaii and Regionals.


The question isn’t really, was the race good or bad. The question is, “Why the heck are you racing with 103 (is there a degree button on the keyboard?) degree temperature?” For normal people the only thing they’re running at a 103 is a fever. But this brings us to the crux of the matter, and that is that runners are insane. Why else would an individual dress in only underwear and a tank top and run their guts out when their body is already doing a pretty good job of beating itself up. Let’s see… my head is pounding, my body aches, snot is running out of my nose like a faucet, I have diarrhea and the bubonic plague, but I better go race this 5k. Wouldn’t want to miss that. It’s okay because I’ll get endorphins that will make me happy. I’ll get a runner’s high. No. You’ll wish that a ravenous tyrannosaurus rex would eat you alive.


True, runners are different (or as mom’s everywhere like to say, we’re “special”), but it’s not all bad. As our cousin Sarah Spilsbury pointed out this past weekend, we get to eat whatever we want. This may be because while with her we consumed In n Out, two and a half boxes of cereal, two and a half bags of chips (and dip), a vast majority of the singles ward ‘break the fast’ meal, and all the goodies that Disneyland had to offer, except the corn dog stand, which closed before I got to it. Those corn dogs are supposed to be huge. Next time, Disney, next time.


In conclusion, we find that going to the circus cures all diseases. If it doesn’t work, at least you got to see the circus. And while you’re there kindly grab us some peanuts, cotton candy, and a corn dog or two.

"...and in rare cases death (refer to Cecily’s indoor conference 5k).(Yep, she's dead).(NOOOO!!!!-to be sung like Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back).

"dude if we had 7,000 blankets, we could make the sweetest tent"

"That's the funniest thing I've read all morning, and I wrote it!"

" Because racing through sickness is something that many runners face, we put together a list of tips that come from the president of CIRC or Chronic Illness Runners Club, Jerry Noodle:
1. Be hydrated. Drinking water helps to flush out sickness.
2. Run conservatively. You have to remember that you are sick and you need to take it down to a pace that your body can handle so that you don’t burn out.
3. Don’t slide into home if you are wearing white pants. Those stains rarely come all the way out.
4. Hefty little pigs never blew my house over. I wanted a raise and I got one.
We later found out that Jerry’s illness was Alzheimer’s disease."

IT'S OVER!!!

no one will get it. no one will get any of this.

Some time later…
Ceclika reminds me that lots of stuff has gone down lately. Disney, Jimmy, finals, races, sickness, race-sickness, qualified, B+ latin miracles, randy punjap’s retirement, homemade pizza,

“I think it would be cool if randy punjap retired.”
“From what?”
“Exactly.”
“Boredom? All he does is sit on your bed all day.

“Portrait of a Cecily and Jessica. Cecily is running into walls.”
“Boredoom.”

“Try breathing really deep. Like when you’re going to do the funny laugh… Does that help?”
“No.”

“We resorted to watching the bonus features of Indiana Jones to pass the time.”
“Those were pretty cool.”
“Yeah, but who does that?”
“Us… and Randy Punjap.”
“Randy Punjap is a bear.”
“With an eye patch.”

“We need to make some friends.”
“How do you make friends.”
“Be cool.”
“…”
“I am cool.”

“Hey this makes me look like I’m walking like a penguin.”
“What? All I can see are your flipsy arms.”

“Well, I haven’t even checked my grades yet”
“I know. I know that”

“We can call it ‘Insights to Insanity’”
“We can call it ‘randy punjap’s retirement’”

“I don’t want to be called ceclika… it sounds like paprika.”
