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.

A quick update on Paul, he had surgery yesterday,they removed half of his skull to allow for the swelling, it was frightening to even think about it, but it was our best option.  This morning he woke up 5:00a and reached out and held my daughters hand, it was a wonderful sign, he is still with us and our prayers and thoughts and his will to live are working. Thanks for asking and caring.

 

Love,Leslie

I guess I have missed your last few entries. I had no idea what your family is going through! I'm glad you were able to have a good sign with him holding your daughter's hand. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers!

Leslie,

Thanks for all the emails and updates. I appreciate knowing what you are going through. Some of the latest developments sound like they have very positive connotations! The fact that he is recognizing your daughter is a great sign!

It was good to talk to you last night and hear some positive stories about Paul. Sorry I had to work today and couldn't run with you!

Hang in there!
