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.

Okay, I made my one goal of  No Diet Coke for a whole week!  Yahoo!  But I was replacing it with Guava Nector!  So this week, I need to replace the Guava Nector with Ice Tea or Water, something not loaded with sugar. 

Since I am no longer doing runs on pavement, I didn't have time to drive to the canyon and run so today is a big goose egg!  That is the down side of trail running, it takes more  of a commitment to get your run in.  So I slept in,  I feel like a slob today. Okay, a lesson learned here, I need to get my fanny out of bed earlier and hit the trails!

Hey you!! You deserve a day off :) How are those heels? How are you? I have been worried that the stress and toll of Paul's injury/recovery might be getting to be a bit much for you. Are you doing ok? It is SO much and such a life altering event. I hope you are OK :)

Let's see, you could replace guava nectar with - say diet pepsi ;) No really, how about those minute maid "juices." They are yummy and 0 points ? I dunno. WAter is of course the best choice ;)

Hey Les! Have you tried the crystal lite or other 0 calorie add-ins?

Adding my two cents---Crystal Light has a new Peach Green Tea. IT IS GOOD.

Propel (flavored water) can hit the spot, too! Good luck. I gave in to the diet coke last week after almost a full month! But it was good...

Kelli, I do like the Peach Green Tea, I ran out and the Guava Nector called me, I am getting some today and some Crystal Light and the Minute Maid juices! Thanks Marion and Maurine.
