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.

Total Distance

1.00

This morning I did a short little equipment check to make sure everything is ready for tomorrow. I wore my new Saucony gloves and my new UnderArmour jacket to see how they feel and if they will be warm enough. Odee came along, he had his seasonal shave and was bald, we did 2 laps around the park. I am happy with my new items and all ready for tomorrow.

If any of you have any cute stories or jokes that might help Maurine along the way please PM me, that would be awesome. Thanks Marion for what you have sent all ready.

Good luck to all of you at Riverton, Maurine and I will both be thinking of you! It is going to be a great day, looks like we are all going to luck out on the weather. Antelope Island could be a muddy mess, but there's not much we can do about that.

Have a great weekend!

Not perfect, but better. I should go to the store and pick up some Orange Juice in a while. Right now I am too lazy to get dressed and need to call into work to get a vacation day on the calendar and then check my emails to see what projects I can get done from home.

Nice equipment check :) I like it! You two are going to have so much fun tomorrow. I will be thinking about you all day. Can you send text updates???

It will be fun, there is not very good reception on the island, plus I am terrible at texting. I doubt I will have my phone on me.

I just tried one of those protein drinks, they are pretty boring. I will probably have to blend them with berries, I should have bought Slim fast like Smooth said, I guess it is not too late, I will pick some up tonight.

From Smooth on Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 14:04:46 from 71.36.65.79

How EXCITING!!! Hope you have lotsa fun. Your equipments sound awesomely cool! We'll be thinkin' of ya!

From Maurine/Tarzan on Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 14:55:02 from 97.117.61.64

I don't plan to carry my phone either. There is no reception on the back half of the island and not a lot on the front half. I don't want the extra weight. I will have my computer at my sister's house - so should be back on the blog after I clean up late on Saturday night.

Les - don't forget to charge your Garmin!

From leslie on Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 14:59:01 from 76.23.61.78

it is charged and ready to go!
