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.

Total Distance

Happy Valentines Day Eve!!! I am still a little low on energy, I think my 18 miler Mon. kicked my fanny more than I thought it would. I just did 3 miles on the treadmill. I am hoping I can get up enough "umph" tomorrow to do 8 or 9 miles.

Another busy day and then babysitting grandkids tonight. Are we allowed to put Tylenol pm in their Cheerios?

Follow what your body allows. You are doing fine.

I think you need to put benadryl in their juice.

Thanks for the tip sis! Still going out to Antelope Island tomorrow?

I don't know. I just emailed ultrajim to see how much snow they have up there. If they will be mainly on the roads instead of the trails - no point in driving 90 miles round trip for that! In that case I would either run my long trail from my house up to the PR trail and back or go to the ice oval. Looking at tomorrow's weather - the ice oval is sounding good for a 20-25 miler. Need to see if it is open. Want to join me?

Maurine, with the grand kids are sleeping over, I am going to have to pass, my plan is to get up early maybe 6ish and run the PR trail and be back before they wake up. If you end up going out that way, let me know, and I could do half with you.
