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.

I am finally back on the running blog after a 4 month break. I am going to post all my exercise so that I have a record of my work outs.

Today I went on a 2 mile snow shoe outing with Harold, Kim and John. We went up by Gaurdsman Pass, cold but a nice way to start the new year.

I went to the 5:30 am Body Pump class. I have not run outdoors all winter, just can't get excited about the cold. I hope I can change my tune and get going, I want to sign up for the Shamrock half marathon in March, and I am also doing the Red Mountain 30K. I need to get busy!

I feel like my training has officially started. I am running with the Wasatch Running group and today was the first day of the real training program. I did 6 miles in 7 degree weather. I need to get some nice winter gear, I was bundled up in so many layers it was ridiculous, but I did stay toasty, just looked silly. 

Harold is starting a new job in Ivins Utah, so I decided I would come down  and visit him and do the Sweetheart half marathon, a trail marathon in Feb.  around Valentines Day, it is the same RD as the Red Mountain, so it will be great! 

Ardath is running with the Wasatch training group too, so it will be extra fun!
