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 knew we were jumping the gun a bit but I was so excited to get on the Wasatch Crest trail that I made Gary come with me to check it out.  Gaurdmans Way is still closed, but that didn't stop us, we parked the car and hiked to the trail head.  There was still some snow on the road.  Puke Hill had lots of snow too, about 3 ft. sometimes more, the Crest was spotty, snow, then dry, but after awhile it was just too much snow and we turned around.  More hiking than running this morning, but it was beautiful out and we had a great time.  Gary ran ahead of me at the end and got in another mile.

4 miles on the beach with Harold and Jana.  We ran down by the water so it wasn't sandy, beautiful.

We can't get our computers to work at the beach house, Julie needed to do some computer work so we are at a coffe shop in San Clemente, I probably won't be posting until I get home.  Life is good, we are getting the royal treatment from my folks.  None of the grandkids are here, so we are dining out at fancy resturants and enjoying the peace and quiet.  The weather couldn't be better. I want to be a beach bum forever.
