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.

It has been a bad week, almost lost Odee after he had an accident falling down the stairs, in fact we were at the vet's office ready to put him down and he came around and started to walk, so we brought him home and are trying to nurse him back to health.    

Any way 3 slow miles, with out any zip.

Poor Odee! Im so glad he is doing better. Nice miles on a bad week!

Are you going to end up doing the surgery in a couple of weeks?

Sad to hear about Odee. I had a dog (Mugsy) do the same thing and we were not quite as lucky. We had to put him to sleep. Good luck with the recovery.

Yeah, it was horrid, he did make a miraculous turn around, but no, we will not do surgery, as much as I love my dog, I am not a believer in expensive procedures for dogs. I actually think he will heal and be fine for little walks in the park, and being my big house dog. Also at his age, surgery doesn't make sense to me.

Oh, so sorry to hear about Odie but glad he got up and moving! Our dog started falling down the stairs a lot, it was very scary!
