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.

Hey, nice run on the road this morning. Goose eggs for me this week; but it's okay. Have a wonderful day!

Once a week sounds great to me! If I wasn't so worried about putting my 60 pounds back on in 2 weeks I'd do it!! :)

Yea for no pain and a good run!

Rad, you have seriously lost 60 pounds??? What was your secret? I have been trying to get off 10 pounds for two years, I am ticked.

You and Marion are unbelieveable, I need your dedication, I am just not consistantly good.... I guess I know what to do, just need to buckle down and do it, you look SO awesome!

Thanks, it took me about 18 months. I just did running/weights/cardio and kept a food journal so I didn't overeat (my BIGGEST challenge). two years ago when I was six weeks out from last baby I weighed 70 pounds more than I do now. A LONG journey, but loving it now!!

Wow! That is awesome, I am going to try and be more dedicated, it sure did pay off for you, sexy mama!!! I am glad you are doing the half, I think most of us are, it is going to be so fun!
