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.

Today is the first day of the winter season for me at my job at the Cliff Spa at Snowbird. I work as a massage therapist.  I have done this for almost 15 years. I just do it part time in winter for some extra play money, and now that I am married, Harold is a big skiier and boarder,he gets a season pass ( I think that is why he married me- free season pass, free massages and free haircuts!#$) I hate skiing, give me the beach any day!  I really tried to get into it the first 2 winters I met Harold, but it was just too miserable and I am done with that. Anyway, I am scheduled to work Tue and Wed , the slowest days of the week, and if I don't have an appt. I don't have to go in.  Most of the time I will be called off, I have lost most of my seniority because I am now just a seasonal employee, which is exactly how I like it.  So basically Harold gets a ski pass and I, for the most part, have 2 days off a week, the rest of the week I work out of my home doing hair and massage. I LOVE having 2 days off in the middle of the week. Alot of times, I have to call every hour, so I can't  really plan anything, but if it is super slow they will tell me that I am called off for the day.  So I am hoping to get called off today and go to Park City and run the rail trail with Odee and then maybe look around at the Outlets! 

I will post the rest of  my miles this afternoon, I took Odee on a 2 mile run around the park this morning.

6.8 from goal

Park City was gorgous, HOT and SUNNY!  I went on the trail around the Swaner Natural Preserve, which is part of the Park City Marathon route.  I ended up doing about half of it walking, just enjoyed my lollygaggling!  I didn't find anything at the outlets, but got a fabulous salad at the Wholefoods store! Now I am going to do weights at the rec center. Yes you heard me weights, I hate weights, but I am going over there right now and doing it!!!!

I DID MY WEIGHT TRAINING TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Went to Yoga with Harold at 7:00 tonight!

I ran a slightly different route this morning. I parked at the Tuscany and ran 2 miles out on Holladay Blvd. and back.  I felt a little more tired than usual, but not bad, I think it was due to the 3 hours of working out yesterday.  The route also has a few more little hills, but not much, well okay, only one and it is tiny, I am such a baby.  It took me 50:47 ( I did a little walking too) My average pace was 12:42. It will be fun to see how many seconds I can shave off that time.

I am going to go take Odee out now for a walk so I will adjust my miles later.

My run was the pits this morning, my heel hurt like heck, so I had to run like a spaz and tip toe on my left foot, I got half way thru the run and realized I booked an early haircut and had to try and pick up my pathetic pace to get home  fast.

5.7 from goal

Just a quick 3 mile run today, not in the mood to do anything more, if Maurine is feeling up to it we are doing 13 miles tomorrow on the Parkway, she has been feeling a little sick, so if she bails I am okay, I haven't had a break in running for a while.  Today is Maurines Birthday, everyone wish her a Happy One!!!!  We are celebrating by going to see Twilight tonight and then going to the Asian Star!!!!   Party!!!!!

 3 miles  34:46 min.  Avg. Pace 11:38 

5.9 from goal ( not too shabby for going out to dinner last night!!) Tonight will be harder, Asian Star is one of my favorite places ever!!!

Everyone have a wonderful weekend, and all you injured  and sick ones ( Crap! I think that is all of you!)  Be careful and stay safe and run smart and be healthy and I love you all!!!

Okay this a short entry, I have tried twice to post it and it disapeared. Harold and Odee and I met Maurine at the Parkway. Harold and I did 10 miles.  He was on his bike but got off to run and did 1.50 miles, he is slowly building up.  Maurine went on to do 13.  It was a beautiful fall day.
