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.

Still sick.  No voice.  I am going to juice some carrots, celery, spinach and apples today, and drink tons. My chest is very congested.  YUCK.

This is so dumb. I never get sick, so I am really not handling this well.  The doctor said it is viral and to rest up and drink lots. I am following orders.  I am hoping by Sat. I can get out and run a little.  

My biggest loser contest weigh in was today and I was up a pound, not surprised.

I am starting to feel better, I have been thinking this morning how good my feet and legs feel.  They really haven't had  a  "week off" in several years, I haven't taken any Vit I and my PL seems to have gone away.  I think this has actually been a good thing for my body to totally rest for a week. Not only do I feel better and rested, but it has made me appreciate how much I have missed running and how much I would like to do better at it, I will never be fast, but I would like to be stronger and  to be able to hit more 10 min. miles in my training and races.  That sounds wimpy to most of you on the blog, but 10 min miles for me would be just perfect.

I am looking forward to a run with Maurine tomorrow on the Parkway, SLC Running store is having a training run for the SLC marathon, they are doing a 18-20 run, with aid every 2 miles, they said it is open to the running public. I can hardly wait!!  Let us know if anyone wants to join us.  They said the start is at the 5400 S. parking lot between 7 and 7:30.

Oh, and if you need a good book to read, check out Pope Joan by Donna Woolfolk Cross, it is a great read!

THANK YOU MAURINE!!!!!!!!!!  This is my first run in 8 days, it felt so good to be back running. The parkways was buzzing with people, SLC Running Store had a group run and so did Team in Training, so there were lots of runners, and water stops almost every mile or two.  We had fun visiting with a few runners at the water stops.  Maurine had to run circles around me, I SO appreciate her  letting me run with her.  I had a wonderful time, my chest is stilll congested, but my legs and feet felt rested.  I started having just a tad of pain in my right knee a 10 1/2 miles, so was glad to stop at 12.   I think I am as excited about Maurines 50 miler as she is.  Only two more weeks!!!!   As of now it looks like I will pace her the last 17 miles.  How fun!!!!
