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.

I just did a yoga class! 

Maurine and Gary and I are doing an 18 miler on the parkway if anyone is interested. 7:00 am at the Winchester parking lot.  Love to see you there!

Where is Winchester? Is that the one in Lehi? Oh, and don't you just LOVE YOGA!!! It is my favorite!! Did you do a class at CHRC? At least they used to have THE best yoga instructor there and that is where I really learned to love it!!!!

Rad, the parking lot is on 1200 W. and 6400 S. Come along bring some of your speedy friends and lap us!! ;)

I am not very good at yoga, but I do like it! Yes, I take it the CHRC.

do you remember the name of the teacher? I think the one I liked was Heidi - I don't know...it was too long ago :)

Kelli and I were debating what to do Saturday so maybe we'll join you, I'm trying to get in 22...I just need SOMEONE to run with or my brain will overtake and stop my feet :)

From Kelli on Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 18:57:43 from 71.219.75.228

You do not have to be good at Yoga! I love it.

Dang, we had already decided to run in Lehi Saturday. i was hoping you guys would JOIN us. Maybe next weekend.

From leslie on Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 19:06:33 from 76.23.61.78

RAD, no, it is not Heidi, it is Kristin.

RAD and Kelli, hey, I do like the Lehi parkway a ton, but with us doing 18 I like the bathrooms and drinking fountains and all the other runners on the trail keep my mind off the pain. PLUS I need to get done early for a wedding shower, so staying closer to home is going to work best. We will miss you, but have fun!

From Kelli on Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 19:12:00 from 71.219.75.228

Wait, they have bathrooms and drinking fountains? Maybe we should change our plans. Hmmm......we will discuss at the gym tomorrow. We need to get Jose and Alan to change their minds.

Kelli, haven't you run on the parkway in Murray and Midvale? I can't believe it! It is like a party, lots of runners, if you like that sort of thing, I think it is fun to do every once and a while. Yes, there are bathrooms and drinking fountains, and many times running groups will have big water containers along the way, and sometimes treats too. I bet you would run into lots of people you know. No pressure, but it is fun. I do like the solitude of the Lehi trail too, I guess it depends on your mood. I want lots of action and diversion for my 18 miler though.

From Kelli on Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 19:27:06 from 71.219.75.228

DIVERSION sounds good!

From Maurine/Tarzan on Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 20:35:32 from 97.117.57.123

Kelli - it would be great if you could join us. Don't count on the water fountains being turned on quite this early yet. But Team In Training almost always has 5 gallon coolers out.

From RAD on Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 22:50:22 from 67.166.99.8

I think you may have won us over with the treats :) (at least me!) However, we'll have to contact the others and make sure they're okay with it too...who knows. I'm just looking for good company, I'll follow any crowd :)

From leslieq on Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 23:14:51 from 76.23.61.78

If you show up that would be great. Those Builders Bars are too die for!!!! I haven't had one for awhile, I need to get more. They are like a dessert! YUM
