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.

It was below 20 degrees so I went to the rec center.  Did 5 miles on the treadmill. 

I am trying to think of a good game plan for 2010, I need a reasonable goal that will push me enough, but not make me so crazy I can't keep it up all year. I know for sure I will be doing muscle up 2 days a week, but am trying to figure out decent mileage goals. One idea is to do at least 35 miles a week, another idea is a minimun of 2 hours a day working out, another goal is one race a month....I will figure it out by Jan. 1. and post it to make me accountable.  My ultimate goal is to still drop my stupid weight that seems to hang on no matter how hard I work out and PR at the Pony Express next year ( under 13 hours).    I would be interested to  hear your running/fitness goals.

Good job, Les. Sounds like a plan. How was your Christmas?

You're smart. I hate running outside when it is this cold. I can't wait to see what you have planned for 2010. :)

All those goals sound great to me! I've been thinking about goals for 2010 myself. Can't wait to see yours in Jan. Oh and I can hardly wait to see YOU in SG!

Nice 'caged' workout (That's how I always felt at CHRC in their cardio room :) )

All the goals sound good and the ultimate goals seem very attainable. I have NO idea on running goals right now, I'm just trying to stay healthy any way this sweet little bundle of joy will allow me too!
