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.

4 miles on the beach with Harold and Jana.  We ran down by the water so it wasn't sandy, beautiful.

We can't get our computers to work at the beach house, Julie needed to do some computer work so we are at a coffe shop in San Clemente, I probably won't be posting until I get home.  Life is good, we are getting the royal treatment from my folks.  None of the grandkids are here, so we are dining out at fancy resturants and enjoying the peace and quiet.  The weather couldn't be better. I want to be a beach bum forever.

Hi guys!!! We just got our wireless thing up and going, so I quickly blogged my meager miles. We are enjoying our vacation and really taking it easy! We will be back home on Friday and ready to get training again. I hope everyone is staying healthy and strong for UVM!!!

Marion, I very seldom use my cell phone, but I checked my messages and found a cute message and a song from you!! Thanks! That was fun!!!
