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 got up this morning to run, got all dressed up in my winter gear and yaxtracks and went to the park with Odee, I was the first person to walk into the park, virgin snow, no tracks, I was wading in snow up to my knees, took one loop around the park and said FORGET IT!  Went home and have much munching on treats and lounging all day long!  I want these holidays over, so I can get back on track!!

Tomorrow I am going to the oval with Maurine and Gary and shooting for 15 miles!  Send your positive vibes my way, I am predicting great pain on the hard surface for these tender feet of mine!  I told Maurine to bring bribes of treats and BIG WHIP!

I have been so horrible! I have got to put a plan into action!

I just spent $50 on veggies. I am going to chow down for a few days to see if I can get the CRAP out of my system! I am making this amazing dip for them

2 pks ranch BUTTERMILK dressing pkts(it must be the buttermilk kind)

1-2 jalapenos

1 clove garlic

4 tomatillos, quartered

1 bunch cilantro

juice from one lime

Blend in the blender! It ROCKS- very low in points, like none ;)
