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.

I beat the storm, the sky was dark and it was windy, but had a nice little run up to Bywater Park and back, I was running effortlessly down hill at a 9:00 min. mile, which is totally NOT me. I feel like I am as ready as I can be for Friday.  I just thought of something, I think I will have trekking poles in my crew vehicle, they may be nice to use those last few miles.

I talked to my son Chris and he may come out early in the day and run with me thru the finish.  I can not tell you how happy I am about that!!!!!!!

Last night my packing came out of my tooth and it started to hurt again so I got online and found out about a product and went down to Rite -Aid and put it on, it was clove oil and some other essential oil and my jaw felt instantly better and I woke up to no pain!!!  Life is GREAT!

50 MILES  here I come!

You bet. We are going to finish this thing. I saw that you are an early starter. Will you be starting at 6am or earlier? Hopefully, Matt and I will be able to catch you before you finish. Best of luck and see you Friday.

Smooth, it will be a great day and you are the frosting on top!!!

Jana will be driving a gold 4Runner, I am thinking of having a mylar balloon tied on to the car so I can see my car from far away like at St. George and also in honor of your birthday!!!!!!
