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.

Good Morning! Just wanted you all to know that I am doing a trail run tonight with Maurine, so I will post my run this evening. I hope you all have a nice run this morning. Today is day #4 and no Diet Coke!!! The scale seems to be moving down a bit, I am feeling so much better, I am thinking I am going to count down the days and see how long I can go....maybe 100!! I swam for one hour yesterday, I get butterflies in my stoamch thinking about a mile swim in Jordanelle. I will do a practice swim this Sat. at Jordanelle and see if I can do it. Paul is back in the hospital, he has surgery today, they think he may have an infection, I hope this is just a minor set back. More later.... I can't wait to hear about your day!

I just got back from dropping off Maurine, we had a great trail run.  We drove up Millcreek canyon, Harold jumped on his bike and rode to the top of the canyon and we got on the trail at Birch Hollow and ran to the end of the Pipeline and back.  It was nice and cool most of the way. It was great to have a liesurely run with Maurine.  After our run we went to Zuppa's for dinner.  

Odee came along sporting his new back pack. It was nice to have him carry his own water, and BTW he looked very rugged and tough, a true Ultra dog!!!!

Maurine and I got in over 9 miles and Harold did just over 32!!!  A great evening indeed!!!

My prayers are with paul and Julie! Hang in there! Stroke is one of those things that takes time. It will be ok :)

I can't believe that your tri is coming so soon! You are going to do great!!! I can't wait to hear how the trail run goes. How are those heels? Behaving?

wow, I'm glad you guys had a good time, I'm sorry I missed it but it was good to catch up with family. I'm off to my school tomorrow to start getting everything in order. :)

Leslie, great job on the trail run. I'm looking forward to trying out a trail run next week.

I can't wait to take you on a trail run, sounds like you have had a taste of what trail running is like. You will love it!!! Maurine and I had a wonderful run yesterday!

Ophs! My comment got on Lisa's name! Marion- the heels are tender but not too bad! Maurine gave me her torture device to try and I did a good icing.

Laurie- we missed you, an evening run on the Pipeline is a great way to end the day

Lisa- your next!
