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

4.62

I thought it was 18 degrees this morning, but got in the car to drive to my flatter route and it was 14!!!! I was plenty warm except for my fingers, I kept telling myself I would go to REI this morning and then I drove home and put on some old ski gloves and ran in my neighborhood and it they were toasty and warm. To heck with paying the big bucks and having cool gloves, on those days it drops below 20, I will wear my old puffy ski gloves that have been sitting in a box unused in years! My new Black Diamond jacket kept me toasty. This morning I wore my silk long underwear from REI (they are super thin) and then a cool max shirt and regular running pants and my new jacket, it is amazing how comfortable you can be with the right gear. Oh, I had on a head band and a beanie and a gaiter too. TAAA DAA!!! I wanted to make sure my gear was just right for the Bloggers Lehi run on SAT.!! I can't wait!

Have a great day!!
