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.

Quads are still alittle tight, did another recovery run.  Nice and Slow.  I need to get these legs ready for a 14 miler Sat. with Marion. 

Yard work today, it feels like Spring out there!  And a drive up to Snowbird to get a ski pass for my grandson.  I just love play days!

Happy Running my friends!!!

Maurine and I ended up running 5 more miles today on the Queen's Penguin Trail after Maurine got off work. Then she let me borrow her balancing board for ankle therapy and she gave me one of her homemade protein, soy, banana ice cream treats.   It was super yummy!!!!

I need to update my blog, I did another 5 miles with Maurine this evening.

From rinny on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 21:41:16 from 206.251.46.150

is this a loopy trail, or a long trail that i have to do the 12 some odd miles with y'all? cuz right now it is taking all my all to do just 3...and thats mostly walking...

i'd love to come. i'm just a fat wimp right now.

i updated my blog cuz i got .5 miles in :) nothing liek the 5 you got in tonight...very impressive.

From leslie on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 22:21:26 from 76.23.61.78

I am not sure of the route, Maurine and I are just tagging along with Marion. Maybe down a canyon, not sure.

So you are just getting into running? Good for you!! We will cheer you on every .5 miles you go!!!! I need to read more of your blog, it was so much fun!

From Maurine/Tarzan on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 22:58:14 from 97.117.57.114

Thanks for running with me, Leslie! How are Odee's feet? I hope you rewarded him for letting you win the race......

From leslie on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 23:31:47 from 76.23.61.78

Odee is fine! You are right, Teena is gone, that is so sad, where did she go? How will we know if she is okay or runs Boston? Maybe Smooth will keep us updated.

From Kelli on Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 01:15:55 from 151.118.168.163

GREAT JOB!!! That is awesome and that shake sounds delicious!

From rinny on Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 02:24:41 from 206.251.46.150

please leslie read my blog :)

I am totally new to "running" if you can call what I do that..I get about 1.5 jog in at around 5 mph...I am slowly working my way back into the world of exercise....anyway I started hitting the treadmill just a few weeks ago..though while in Hawaii I was walking every day....anyway just a newbie, that has actually started a routine of things....

From tarzan on Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 09:36:38 from 63.255.172.2

Les - she just marked it private. My guess is she is not going to run Boston given her current injuries.
