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.

Did a 7 mile bike ride on the JRP with Julie. Feeling like I am back to normal after the marathon. I plan to take it pretty easy though, the Pony Express 50 is only 9 days away.

I haven't run this week, recovering  from St. George and gearing up the Pony Express 50 Friday.  Hopefully I will get out for a an easy 6 miler tomorrow.  I get butterflies in my stomach thinking about it.

This is the first time I have run since the SGM.  Holy cow I know how to taper.  It was such a short run, I never got warmed up. I had my tooth pulled Wed. and it still hurts like crazy.  I have been doped up for 3 days and am determined to get off the pain pills today, so I feel like crap.  I have not had a diet coke for 3 days and I feel deprived, poor me.  Anyway my run was pathetic. It was nice to have Harold with me. He wore his roller blades and took Odee along. We went along the PRT. 

I bought a new pair of LaSportive shoes, my boys recommended that brand. I will have 2 other pairs of shoes in my crew vehicle, so it is okay that they are not broken in. 

GREAT NEWS!!!!  My son Chris is going to pace me to the finish. I was afraid to ask anyone to drive out to the middle of the desert and he was totally happy to do it.  He is the athlete of the family, a big rock climber, runner, trials bike rider, you name it he does it.  He is also on the Search and Rescue team.  I am so excited!  I would love to have all 4 of my children there for my once in a life time event, but 2 out of 4 isn't bad. My cute daughter Jana, is going to crew for Gary and I in our 4Runner.  This is going to be SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!  Did I tell you we are going to make a DVD of  our adventure?  Jana will also be the photographer!

A week from today my 50 will be over, I hope I will be able to pull this off!!!
