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.

Had a great run this morning with Maurine, Harold mountain biked.  We did the Wasatch Crest. Started at Puke Hill ran to Desolation Lake and down to Mill D.  We had a car parked acouple miles down the road to give us a few more miles.  The early morning temp was 55 and it stayed nice and cool thru the whole run.
