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

3.00

First off, thanks for the lecture Maurine ( read yesterdays post) she called me out. She is right right right!!! I guess that is the reason I don't sweat, I don't want to work that hard! I am a big baby. Okay, I will do better!

This morning I went to the gym and did the Day 2 Circuit training, it was tough, and I did modify some. Then I did 3 miles on the treadmill, intervals. The total time was 34:00. I was sweating. I think as much as I dislike the treadmill I need to do it more and push myself, I really zone out while running and am way too comfortable.

After a perfect day yesterday, the scale didn't move, that is extremely annoying!!!

Tonight Harold and I are going to yoga, and we are taping the Biggest Loser and watching it when we get back. I am always inspired by that show.

You are welcome for the lecture. :)

Good job on getting out there and exercising today and doing it all on your own.

I wouldn't push you if you didn't tell me you wanted to get in better shape. If you were happy where you are, I would leave you alone.

Remember - pain is weakness leaving the body.

AND

No pain - no gain!

Maurine, thanks for your friendship and your example and for encouraging me!!! You are such an awesome friend!!!!!! I will do better!!! I do want to come over to your house and work out with you, I can't figure out the exersizes like you can.

Leslie,

GREAT JOB working out this morning. Circuit training sounds hard. Gym machines intimidate me. I'm so happy you're doing it. You can be my trainer.

Smooth, you are funny! I am not much of a gym person either, but I am determined this time to make some progress! Have a great day!! I am excited for our Painters weekend in St. George!

Oh, I think Tarzan should be a trainer, she kicks butt and really knows her stuff, tough but nice!

I LOVE the Biggest Loser. I am so glad that they did not make me wait too long before starting a new season up. I have heard some great things about this season. I am so excited to watch it. We should have Biggest Loser parties and watch it together!

You are doing great little lady, just keep it up! And look at that time on the treadmill---that is fast! Intervals will kick your body into submission, believe me. I was just saying today that I need to start doing those again (after the knee is fixed, though!)

I am trying Kelli, it shouldn't have to be sooo hard.... waaaaaa. I will work on the form, thanks for looking out after me!
