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.

Took Odee out for a one mile walk, I am still very stiff!!

Okay, it is time for an adjustment on my running schedule and game plan. I have decided not to run UVM unless I drop 10 pounds and feel like my fitness level has improved. Ogden was a huge wake up call for me. I really want to complete the slam so I am going to be very focused, so hopefully I will finally get these 10 pounds off that I have been working on for 2 years.

I am also not planning on the OV50. 50 miles of road running would kill me. So I am taking that one off my calendar and I will not add anything else until I am in better shape.

I am not even depressed about this, I feel like I am just being sensible and adjusting as my conditions change. Who knows what I will feel like after St. George, maybe I will plan a 50k, just not sure, but I think a 50 miler is not in the cards.

Whew, that was a relief! I am not running all week, I am going to enjoy my recovery time! Next weekend Harold and I are back packing in Southern Utah, so I need to rest up!

I am really enjoying my recovery! I am going to go spend the morning with Paul, maybe go on a bike ride or take a dip in the pool.

Have a great day!

I am still enjoying my recovery, I am taking the rest of the week off and then Harold and I are going to be hiking down in Escalante over the weekend.

I have lost 4 of my 10 pounds and am feeling like I am going to make my goal and run UVM! Life is good!!!
