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 met Lauri  at the Parkway and we did a nice easy run.  It was fun to get to know her.  It was nice weather and there were quite a few runners and bikers out this morning.  Thanks Lauri for the great run and for the sport beans!!

Hola!

Are you racing tomorrow?

It is sure nice to run with no presure and cares! The weather is so fabulous right now! Couldn't be better!

The weather is perfect thats for sure. No running tomorrow for me, I am taking a break, I have a baby shower, my son-in-law has a rugby game, and my ultra running buddy Gary is having a party to celebrate his wedding, plus 2 grandsons are spending the night tonight and ww. Whew!

Enjoy the no pressure running for now, it won't be long before you are into your serious mode.

Have a great weekend!!!
