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.

This was an extra FABULOUS run this morning. Ardath and I went up to Millcreek with Odee and she walked and I ran.  On the way back I passed Ardath and told her I was going to put Odee in the car and for her drive down and pick me up!  It took me 2:16 minutes.  A nice easy pace for me on a trail.  Tomorrow is the 9 miler with the Running Chics, I won't get away with that kind of pace with those speedsters!  I am looking forward to a butt kicking run tomorrow. Today was a pure paradise!!!!!   

 Yahoo!!!  I did laps today!  60 lengths in 46 minutes, it seems like hours..... 70 will KILL me!

Good job on the run!

I enjoyed the first night sleeping on the floor (although I had a hard time falling to sleep).

Tough commute today - woke up at 7:10, out the door at 7:25, in at work at 7:30!

I can't believe you did 9 miles today when we're going to do 9 tomorrow. You are Awesome! The hike sounded fun too.

Hey Leslie, just wanted to let you know I am going for a long run saturday with Locomotion if you would like to meet them. We are meeting at Ruth's Diner at 6 am, up and over the top of emigration and then back down.

Maurine, I bet it is so exciting being in your new place even if it is on the floor! I can't wait to see it!!! Awesome commute!!!

Lisa, I can go for ever if I go slow enough, I am trying to get myself mentally prepared for the physical abuse you girls are going to give me tomorrow!!! I can't wait!!! It will be fun!

Laurie, thanks for the invite, I would really like to join you one time, but I have a family reunion Sat. It sounds like a fun run!! Tell us all about it!!!

Uh hmm.....(clearing throat and trying to be serious with straight face and deep voice) "Now Leslie, what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger" Okay, now I am rolling on the floor laughing, but in a way I am kinda serious.
