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.

Kim, Ardie and I hiked to Sunset Peak this morning.  The wild flowers were even more beautiful than they were two weeks ago.  This much fun should be illegal. Ardie treated us to fish tacos at Lone Star. Life doesn't get any better than this!

Had a great workout at Bootcamp.  I decided to try running on the road after class, I haven't run in several weeks, I have been hiking only while doing bootcamp.  I went out for 3 miles, ran 2 miles and walked one mile.  My motivation to run wasn't there.  Hummmmm...... oh well, I am getting in alot of crosstraining and enjoying it, so I guess it is all good.  I am concerned about Park City, I will definitely have to start early and do alot of walking.

Upper body work out at Bootcamp.  We have a new recruit and it is so entertaining to watch some one else wear the 30lb vest and be screamed at all hour.  It is a riot.  It is funny that they can be so horrid during Hellweek and then so nice for the rest of the time.  I thought our 30ish man was going to cry today. Hahahaha!  I am so evil! 

Did 3.27 with Julie, this week we are doing run 3 min. and walk 1 min. She did great! At the end of our hour session I told Julie to push it for 1 min. and she ran .09 of a mile, I am keeping track of her time here so we can see her progress.

So far just Bootcamp today. I was supposed to run with Julie this morning, but Paul had another seizure last night. Poor kid, he seems to have about 2 a month or so.  I am not in the mood to run or hit the trails today, guess I will rest up for the stadium stairs tomorrow.
