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

5.30

I took Odee down to the PR trail and did a slow easy run. I am still feeling the aftermath of my California run.

Looking forward to lunch with Maurine at Paradise Bakery!

Decided I must be faithful about my muscle-up class, I am so wishy washy, I really notice it since I have been on the blog and see how consistant and dedicated everyone is. I need to get a fire under my butt, I am too much of a coaster!

Thanks for meeting me for lunch, Les!

OK - remember our discussion now.... Your goal is a 50 miler and you need to be able to maintain a little over a 4 mile an hour pace for 12-13 hours.

So - since speed is not your focus, don't worry about your speed. Focus on being healthy and strong and maintaining that through the end of October.

Britta, I checked your blog and I am going to be watching you and wishing you all the luck in the world! I have been good today. I even went to Paradise Bakery and brought back the cookie they give you for my hubby. I am pretty fed up with myself so let's all keep each other motivated!

Maurine, it was fun to go to lunch with you, we get talking about running and the time just flys!!! Seriously Maurine, the cookie is on the counter for Harold, I am such a good girl!!!
