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.

Maurine and I did the Pipeline this morning. We started at Birch Hollow and ran to the SLC Overlook and back. Beautiful way to start the day!  Thanks Maurine!  Zippy Maurine went ahead of me and ran down the canyon and I picked her up in the car. Lots of runners were out this morning, fun atmosphere!

 

Now off to work in the garden!
