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.

First good trail run this summer. Harold, Ernie, Gary, Odee and I did the Pipeline.  I was going for 10 miles but Odee started to fade at 6 miles, and I opted to take him down Rattlesnake Gulch and the boys went on to finish at Birch Hollow. I am now not letting go further than 5 miles, poor old dog really struggled.  We bumped into Aron and Emily, so fun!! Man, a good trail run is like prozac!!!!  Great morning!

Lisa and I did a 3 mile run at 6am, and then I hiked Granduer Peak with Kim, we ran into Karl Meltzer on the trail and stopped and chatted for a minute. I should have asked for his autograph!! Then we went to Lone Star for fish tacos!

7 beautiful miles on a dirt road with Odee in Huntsville, however I am reminded again, Odee is slowing down and I need to limit him to 5 miles, he was exhausted. I finally made over 30 miles this week, I need to keep it up!
