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.

Got up early and left in the dark with my little head light and my new fuel belt and went for a run, I did my ultra pace, slow, but super enjoyable.  It was warm enough I took off my hat and gloves.  I spent the time thinking about the realistic New Years Resolutions I want to make.  I am looking forward to a good 2009.  2008 was the most difficult year of my life, that of course was because of Paul's accident. Hopefully we will see some improvements with him and Ican  jump into my running and have a good year with that too. 

Have a great day!  Painters is around the corner!  I can hardly wait!

I did my same 5 mile course  I did yesterday along Danish Road, alittle faster than yesterday, but not much. 

I had a great day for my first day on my Biggest Loser contest!  I am determined to do well. I am hoping to do some weights this afternoon.

I have a super busy day today, so off I go.  Have a great day!!!

Got up early this morning and did my whole run before the sun came up. It was great, no traffic.  I took Odee around the park for a mile and then ran up to Wasatch Blvd and back. The street lights and the snow made it just light enough that I could see with out tripping. Alot of people still had their Christmas lights on, it was a real nice quiet run in the snow.

Okay, who is all in on the contest Marion suggested?  Run 6 days a week all year and then we'll have a party!   A minimum of 2 miles a day unless it is a scheduled taper for a run.  I love it. 

I actually start my Biggest Loser Contest Monday. I am excited to get into better runnning shape.
