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.

Went over to the spa and did 4 miles at 5.6 speed and then a mile cool down.  It beat going outside in 11 degree weather.  Now I am enjoying a nice spinach and berry smoothie.   Glad I can stay home all day. The roads are sheets of ice.

Nice run, but I have to disagree with you about running indoors. I prefer 11 degree weather over the treadmill any day.

Twinkie you are crazy!!!! But then I aready knew that, I think I have about a 20 degree limit.

Have a great day!

BRRR! I opted for the dreadmill too! I'm going to venture out tomorrow! Still trying to get used to this arctic having been in Houston the last 10 days. I'm staying home all day too to do bazillion loads of laundry!

I have about a 32 degree limit. Running in this weather is nuts. Maybe you guys can rub off on me. Now I want a smoothie.

NUMMY smoothie! I just restocked on spinach today.

You are doing great little lady!

Scott, I think maybe you are the smart one, 32 sounds like a nice number!

Hi Kelli and Smooth, thanks for coming over to say hi!!! ARe you both doing Painters? I think Harold and I are going to come down and then head straight out to go to the beach house for a few days. I hope you cute girls are doing well.

From Kelli on Wed, Dec 09, 2009 at 22:30:41 from 71.219.71.229

I will be there!
