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.

I started doing a 1 mile speed test last week and am trying to improve each week. Last week I did the mile in 10:54, today I did it in 9:39, I felt great and think I will be able to cut off a little time each week.

Did my 1 mile speed test this morning and cut off about 10 seconds. I did 9:29.  Ardie and I hiked up to Grandeur Peak, perfect temp. Awesome views, great company. There are 8 switch backs, fun to count them off.

Ardie and I started up Mill B headed to Desolation Lake and ran into a moose that wouldn't budge, we had to turn around and ended up hiking on the Donut Falls trail.  

I did another mile speed test and ran the mile in 9:26, good for me, and 3 seconds faster than last week.

I had a great early morning run with Trish on the Pipeline. We put in at Birch Hollow and ran to the Overlook and back.  We had the trail pretty much to ourselves, the flowers are starting to bloom, it was a great morning!

One mile test 9:26

A great Millcreek run with Trish, she is younger and faster than me, so it is a nice push to go a little faster than I would normally run. Looks like we are going to try and run together once a week.  

One mile test 9:24 (2 seconds faster than last week)
