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.

We are up at our Snowbird condo for the weekend, it is gorgous. We have already seen 2 moose.  We had a great dinner at the Steak Pit.  This morning we took a nice 2 mile walk around the resort.

Ardath and Odee and I did the Pipeline this morning.  We started at Birch Hollow and I ran up towards Elbow Fork and then turned around and ran to the overlook and back.  It was nice to have Ardath with me, I kept thinking I would catch up to her and she was so fast I hardly saw her on the trail, but we got to talk in the car and it was great knowing we were sharing the trail. I also ran into my friend Jenny from NPR, a double treat!

 

PM  Harold and I did part of the Cottonwood trail after work.  We saw our friend Steve!

I was hoping to get in a muscle up class but too much going on.  I have a busy work day and my parents are going to be coming to stay for the night. My dad is speaking at Sam Weller's funeral, looks like I am having a day off!

Have a great day!

A great trail run with Gary.  We started at the bottom of Rattlesnake Gulch ran up to Elbow Fork on the Pipeline and up to Mt. Aire.  It was a real steep climb from Elbow to Mt. Aire. I actually only made it to the saddle and Gary made the summit.

I had a great hike up to White Pine Lake in Big Cottonwood Canyon with Kim.  The last mile was on snow fields.  The Lake was spectacular.  I was pleasantly surprised that the climb didn't bother me after my tough day yesterday. I must be getting stronger!!

I woke up early and took a walk around the little valley where we were camping, left the hubby and grandkids sleeping peacefully.    I got in my 40 miles this week, I am hoping to keep my miles to at least 40 or more for the rest of the summer.
