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.

Sorry about the "bad news". Keep training, I'm sure you'll find another 50K. I am not running today. Have a terrible cold and lotsa meetings today. Going to Costco now. Have a nice 2 miler later!

Nope - you need to run and get over your disappointment. Please feel free to come and use my treadmill if you need.

Okay, I am out on the run 6 days a week contest. Do I get the booby prize? Tomorrow will be a better day.

The only bright spot today, is I did have a real good day of nutrition, and that is a big deal. 4 days of good food!

Yeah you get the booby prize- you get to take us all out to eat! >! All dropper-outers get to take the rest out to EAT!!!
