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.

Gary and I hit the Oval today. 12 miles of running in circles. I listened to the playlist Jana made me for the Pony Express 50 miler and had such happy memories. I wonder if I will ever do another 50 miler again. I would like to, but I am having a hard time doing my "homework", hopefully when spring comes around I will get more excited about long beautiful trail runs.

speed work on the treadmill, I did a few minutes at 7.2, dang good for me!!!  

Weighed in at WW. I lost 1 pound this week for a total of 9.6 pounds since the first of Jan.  I am very happy!  I just hope I can maintain this weight loss during my trip to Hawaii. I plan on eating lots of fruit!!!! I love passion fruit, guava, mango and papaya. I am planning on eating  fruit for breakfast and lunch and then a nice dinner out each night. I can't wait to go and see my daughter and thaw out!!!

I haven't been blogging much, I have been in Hawaii. I did the Aloha Race 8.15 with Ann and Tom, we just walked it.  Now that I am home I need to get busy training. I just signed up for the Red Mountain 30K, I am not ready for the 50k.

Woke up to 6 inches of fresh snow this morning. I took Odee, Ziggy and Bob to the park, they had a blast playing and chasing each other in the snow.  Then I went to the gym and ran 8 miles on the treadmill while watching the Food Network.   I felt great!  A nice start to the day.  6 more weeks until Red Mountain, I think I can do this!!   Now off to spend a day with my cute hubby.
