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 was asked to talk in Relief Society about my 50 miler and cried, how crazy is that?  I think it was a spiritual experience for me.  The tears started coming when I talked about my children showing up at mile 40 to get me thru, and my son in law Paul, who is a stroke survivor, rode his bike next to me the last 10 miles and my son talked me thru though to the end.  I have really cool kids.

I just signed up for the Red Mountain 50K in Ivans, if anyone is interested in a 50k, this is my favorite.  Check out their website.  It is April 24th.

Had a nice walk with Ardath this morning, I was planning on doing some running and just couldn't get myself motivated. I probably jogged a quarter of a mile, I felt alittle "something" in the knees, not really pain, just kind of funny, guess I am still recovering from the race.

I finally had a fairly decent run and felt good.  Perfect weather. I ran to the mouth of BCC and back. 

YAY it is Friday, football, a 5K and the kids over for Sunday dinner!

Today was just a fun run with my kids, I paid for Jana, Julie and Paul to run the Animal Therapy 5K at Wheeler Farm, and I ran along as a bandit.  I figured $60 for a 5K was about my limit.  It was fun though and I had no pressure to do anything but just jog along.  It was fun for me to see Paul complete the whole 5k, we never know how he will feel at any given minute, so this was a big accomplishment. 

It was fun to Rachel and Lucy and her little family.  She finished the race in lightening speed and then came back to help me finish.  Rachel and I waited around with our kids in the barn to see if we could win a raffle prize, but no such luck.  It was a fun morning.
