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.

Good luck Saturday Leslie. I hope you guys have fun and that the weather cooperates! You guys just never stop!! Although, I know it will be a lot less fun without Smoothie :( I congratulate her for staying in Bed. I too had a bad reaction to my flu shot last week. I always get sick-er than everyone else when I get it. And it's only supposed to last 24 hours--I always feel like I have the flu for at least 2 days after.

Nice work Leslie! Good luck on Saturday and Smooth - you better get well soon!!

I'm horrible, I make my kids get the flu shot, but never get it myself. Even last year with H1N1 and being pregnant, I'm just a little cynical - but obviously not enough to get it for my kids :)

Anxiously waiting for your race report! Hope you survived the *tornado* and had a fun weekend at Casablanca!
