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.

HOLY COW!! I just read your last weeks entries. MAN o' LIVE!!! You should be noticing a HUGE difference in your stamina and strength due to boot camp. You seem to be VERY STRONG :) Way to go! Are you going to do PC?

Since I am running NOTHING- when can we all get together for lunch???

Marion, no obvious differance, there is no quick fix, however, I am enjoying bootcamp and am signing up for another 6 weeks. Weight training has always been something I have hated, and I am really liking it, it has been fun to mix things up. Yes, I am doing PC, I am doing an early start and will walk/run it. Gary is going to pace me and Maurine will start with me, I am sure she will shoot out and go faster, and that is great. I really just home I can get thru it, no expectations at all. How is your ITB? Hope the break is helping.

What time did you go up? It would have been funny if you drove by while I was slogging my way uphill.

I didn't see you, we were on the trail about 8:00am.
