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.

Today was my first day back to Muscle-up, I upped my weights quite a bit and had a great work out, my 3 months of bootcamp made me realize I am capable of lifting heavier and working harder. It isn't the same as bootcamp, bootcamp also gives you a good cardio work out as well, but this is so much cheaper, I am just going to have to make it work. I also don't think I want to keep up that intensity on a regular basis. Maybe I will go to bootcamp once a year for a shot in the arm, the same time next year to prep for the Pony Express, that seemed to really strengthen my legs for the race. Yoga at 10:30.

Have a great day!

Sounds like a good, well-balanced plan. You sure know how to keep that awesome body of yours well-tuned. Have a great day to you too. It's supposed to snow today!

The idea of doing the bootcamp hardcore workout once a year as a shot in the arm sounds like a great idea. I normally would be doing a lot more running but am making a trip to LA next week and am feeling the pressure to get my work done and the cold weather is killing me. I miss the long runs. Hope to get some running going again soon. I guess you aren't the only one coasting. Hope you get over your cold fast!
