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

4.50

Ran up to the mouth of BCC and back.

I have decided to run the Goblin Valley 50K this year instead of the Pony Express 50 miler, I am not up for 50 miles right now and it has been making me crazy thinking about it. Goblin Valley is tons of fun and of course some of you will be there, so it will be a party!!!! Harold can mountain bike part of it, so he is happy too. Now I am getting super excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm kind of bummed that you won't be doing Pony Express this year. I am going to do it for sure and it would have been fun to see you. However, I am excited for you to do Goblin Valley. That sounds like an amazing run.

Scott, it was a hard decision, I loved the Pony Express, but I just am not ready to train that hard this year, you will have a great time! I will be thinking of you guys, maybe I will swing by and pass out Krispy Kremes to you and the gang! lol!

I hope you have fun with Goblin Valley. I am really bummed you won't be doing the Pony Express. It will be lonely without you. Of course, I am getting used to that. :0)

You will do great! Tell your sis to take tons of pictures, I want to see a DVD!!! Too bad you work, most of my runs are now done while normal people work. Train hard, it is a doozie!

Gee - I guess I could quit my job if it would make you happy. :) Sounds like you have plans for tomorrow. I'm going to hit the JRP at 5:30 a.m. so I can get to work by 10 or so.

Maurine, my Sat. plans are still in the making, not sure yet, sorry you have to be to work, yeah, I think you should quit! :)
