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 is the first time for me to run the Ogden Marathon, I had signed up to do the Red Mountain 50k the next Sat. so my plan was to take off walking as soon as I got off the bus and do a lot of walking and take it easy and use this as a training run for my 50K.  I ended with a time of 5:28 and felt great. I took it slow enough that I had no soreness the next day.  Ogden was a beautiful course, I think it is my second favorite run, with St. George being my favorite, this will be a regular one for me!

The Red Mountain 50K was an amazing race. Beautiful scenery, great organization and perfect weather. I loved every minute of it. I was happy to finish feeling strong and happy, and there were 3 people behind me!

I am still recovering from doing the Ogden Marathon May 17 and the Red Mountain 50k on May 24. 

My husband Harold and I went for a 5 mile walk from my parents beach house in San Juan Capistrano to Dana Point with my father,  Owen Olpin and did a little bird watching a long the way, we identified 14 birds on our walk.  

I am feeling pretty good, but plan to walk for the next few days and enjoy the beach and start running when I get back to SLC on Wed.

I don't know if you can count a bike ride on this training blog, but I just did!  I guess we can make these our own and that was my morning, I am staying at my folks fabulous beachhouse and a bunch of us rode our bikes to Dana Point and back. It was pretty laid back, I was on my mom's cruiser bike.  I am still in the recovery mode, it is nice and relaxing, but I will be ready to hit the trails when I get back to SLC.   Hopefully the snow will melt soon, I am dieing to get on the Wastach Crest trail!!!!!
