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.

I got up early, even though I planned to sleep in a bit, so ended up going on a 2 mile walk around the neighborhood, my heels are pretty hammered, I will have to take it real easy this next week in preparation for Bryce Canyon. I hope you all have great races or nice Saturday runs today!!  I am on my way to ww, I have had a very good week of eating healthy, but from the way my scale looks, I am not going to see much of a differance.

Thanks girls! WW wasn't too bad, I was down .6, but probably put it right back on with the Better than Sex cake I had at the reunion!

Lisa, you are so dedicated! And Marion, you are just breaking my heart!!! Get better soon!!!

Yeah! more than a 1/2 a pound! You are fabuloso! The cake will be ok- you are doing great. Keep those mile up and see if that is the key :D

Les - maybe you should try soaking your feet in epsom salts and see if that helps your heels at all.
