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.

Lisa and I did a short run this morning, a 5 minute warm up of walking then two 15min. run/1 min walk intervals, it took us 41 minutes, we had a short cool down  too. I am not sure of the pace with all the walking but we were    bouncing between 9 and 11 min. miles, while on the running intervals. It was a good effort.  Gotta cut this short, I am outta diet coke and need one in a bad way, so off to the Sev I go.....!

BAD! I only had ONE can yesterday! I had one in my bag at work and just had to drink it. It was so heavy and all!

From leslie peterson on Tue, Jul 08, 2008 at 11:48:39

One can is nothing!!! I think it beat lugging that heavy thing around all day in your bag all day long!! It was a wise choice. Feel better??
