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

6.00

I am really excited about my day, I just got back from muscle up and now I am going to run a couple of errands and then go to Zumba, a Latin dance work out and then yoga with Ardath.This afternoon some trail running with Maurine on the Cottonwood trail, I am not going to post my miles until after we get back. It will be fun to run with Maurine, she has been recovering from surgery and now SHE'S BACK!!!

OH MY GOSH! Is she ever back!! We had a nice hike up the trail, it took an hour to go 3 miles, alot of talking and catching up and then we ran down, the first mile was very rocky, and had to be alittle cautious, but we sailed down the last two miles. It felt great. There is something very magical that happens when you get of the asphalt and hit the trails!! Thanks Maurine! We had fun talking about all the runs we want to do together, again, I say, so many runs, so little time!!!!

THANK YOU!!! Lets do it again soon!

I think we need to figure out some kind of time warp mechanism. It would allow work to go faster or at the same pace, but allow time running to slow down (in a good way) - so we can get all our dream races in. (and they would all be free and include travel)
