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.

Ran my favorite race of the year (besides St. George)  I ran with Craig Lloyd's mom and her friend Diana. What fun ladies!  It was hotter than usual, but okay. I love the scenery, the people, and the Race Directors, oh, and the great aid stations!  I was 20 min. slower this year, I think I will blame it on the heat!

I think you were probably "hotter" than usual too! Keep it going hot mama! You are really an inspiration. I don't check in often and I don't say much but you are an amazing runner!

Thanks for saying hi! I really haven't been checking blogs, too much FB! I hope you are well, I need to drop by your blog and see what fun things you are up to. Thanks Kim, it was a great race!

It warmed up quick out there, that's for sure. I think it's valid to blame it on the heat. Great job.
