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.

3 miles at bootcamp.  Done.  Harold had to work until almost midnight to make a deadline, and I couldn't sleep without him, I am tired, I really struggled thru bootcamp.  Julie just called and said she wanted to cancel our run, great minds think alike.  Off for a nap now.

My plan was to do a long run from my house to the Farmer's Market downtown, but it started raining buckets and there was lightening and thunder, I called Harold and had him pick me up.  Hopefully it will be dry this evening and I get in a few more miles.  The thought of PC next weekend sends chills up my spine.   Gary said he would pace me, but that will be a  painful test of his patience, I have not put in my homework.  I will have about 5 weeks after PC  to train for St. George, heaven help me!!! 

PM  - 2 mile hike with Harold
