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.

Total Distance

4.00

Did my same route I did yesterday, it was odd, I felt like I pushed harder,but it was almost exactly the same time. My average pace was 12:10, yesterday it was 12:09. It is hard to believe last July I ran a half marathon with an average pace of 10:33, I don't think I will be able to pull that off for Painters. That's okay with me, I enjoy my slow runs too. ( I say that like a 10:33 is fast, but it really is for me! I thought I was Wonderwoman!)

ARe you all getting Christmasy? I am going to decorate and put up my tree today!!!! I am also going to go see Paul and Julie today! Have a wonderful day!

If you want some great races check out www.calicoracing.com, however, those races are in the Las Vegas area. I have run some of Joyce's events and they are great. You cannot beat her finishers medals, shirts, or aid stations. She offers several ultra races throughout the year.
