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.

5 miles on the treadmill, did intervals, got the mileage up to 7.1 several times but only for a minute at a time.  5 miles in 1:01.  It was tough.

Yesterday was horrible, our pipe broke and flooded the neighbors basement, this is the second time it has happened.  My favorite race of the whole year was canceled  too and I had to go to a crappy meeting on my Wedding Anniversary.  Today will be better we are celebrating our anniversary and going to the Asian Star tonight!!!! 

 

I am down 2.5 pounds since the BL Contest started! 

Oh, and yesterday I bombed out on the 6 days of running in a week contest, so lunch is on me!!!!!  How about the Cheesecake Factory??

Happy Anniversary (late), have fun tonight!!! And congrats on the weight loss! I have had a zero up, zero down week!! I will call that good, frustrating, but good!
