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.

Beautiful Morning!  The skies were orange and pink, it was fun to watch the sun come up, and 4 deer ran across the road right in front of me.  I was listening to IZ on my ipod, it was great.  I cut off one minute doing the same route I did yesterday.  1:06

5.7 from goal   I was happy with that, only a .1 drop from yesterday, but at this point anything is good, not gaining is good.  I was super good last night at my girls night out, not one single chip entered my chubby little cheeks. Tonight is a Halloween party with the family and I will do the same thing!  I am feeling very optimistic.  I am so excited for tomorrows run!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!

Your cheeks are not chubby!

Marion - do you think it is wise to mention 'cream' to Leslie?

I am so glad someone was able to get out and enjoy the beautiful day!!! And, hey, .1 is .1!!!!

So, just to give you an example of how crazy my body is and my weight, I was 140.2 this morning. Just up .2 since yesterday and I had a ton of diet coke (retaining water) so I was good with that. i had a smoothie for breakfast, 1 slice of pizza (very small) and a kiddie cone for lunch, a tootsie roll and a gumdrop while at the school party, then I chose the soup and a half of a sandwich with almost nothing on it and I did not even finish it (a 10 point dinner, so high but not bad for eating out) and that is it. Total today in points was right on!!! Anyway, I just weighed myself and I weigh 146!!!! I have got to throw the scale away! I better sweat like a crazy woman on this run tomorrow morning! My weight is wacky---but it will go away, RIGHT????

THANKS for eating a muffin with me this morning---I panicked when I thought I was eating mine alone!!! It was so good, I ate it nice and slow and enjoyed every last morsel, as it will be along time before I allow myself another. However, i am going to Bajio's tonight after all, I want it and I am going to have it! Then, my work will be cut out for me next week. However, I will do this!!

It was great to see you again this morning, sorry we did not get to chat more. NEXT run for sure.
