Personal:

I started running at age 40 (14 years ago!)  I am married to Harold, he is a super supportive husband and we enjoy running and biking the trails along the Wasatch Front together. Between us we have 7 children and 9 grandchildren.  I am really having fun trying new races in scenic parts of Utah, I am a newbie in the ultrarunning world, I am slow, but love everything about it!  I have a lot to learn,but I am enjoying the journey.

Hi Smooth!!! No I am not. Are you back running? Will you be doing it? I hope all is well, I hope I see you at the SGM!!

From Smooth on Sat, Jul 07, 2012 at 15:35:18 from 71.213.102.15

So missing you this morning, Leslie!

I am back with wogging (walk/jog)!

I hope to see you at SGM too. I am still holding out hope that I can run Park City Marathon which I signed up just days before my second stress fracture. Will you be running the Half again this year?

Smoothy, Wogging is my specialty!!! If you need a Wogging partner, I would love to join You! yes, I am doing the PC half and the Bryce half and Little Grand Canyon half too. I hope you are feeling better for PC, I will look for you!

:) You are such a fun person! I'd love to have you as my wogging partner! :)

Good luck on Sat. I know you will have a ton of fun at Bryce this weekend. I wish I was doing it this year.:(

Look for Rachel (RAD) and me at PC! I hope I make it there with no injury! Kelli and Scott are RACING the full...so you'll most likely see them at the finish!
