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 went to the 5:30 am Body Pump class. I have not run outdoors all winter, just can't get excited about the cold. I hope I can change my tune and get going, I want to sign up for the Shamrock half marathon in March, and I am also doing the Red Mountain 30K. I need to get busy!

Good to see you back on the blog, my friend!!!

Hey, I think Wendy is running the Shamrock Half. It's the one in Saratoga Springs organized by Fleets Feet, right?

I'll have to come cheer you! :)

Hi Smooth!!!!!! I have missed you! Yes, that is the one, I need a goal, I haven't run much since St George. It has been so long, I don't think I would recognize Wendy! I am excited to get back into the ball game again.

How is your health? I heard you had some injuries last year. I can't wait to see you!

Wendy has short hair, tall. She will recognize you! :)

I've had two stress fracture of the metatarsals last year. Right now I am nursing an overuse injury, the stupid ITB! I'm teaching myself to swim, a very slow process! But no complain as I'm still enjoying good health and Larry's company! :)

I miss you. Luz Lewis and I talked about running trails with you. We need to get together some time! :)
