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.

Have fun baking and shopping and getting all Christmassy (  That is the Sara Palin in me!!!Baaahahahahaha!!!)

No negative attitudes allowed! You can still do it - 10 miles tomorrow and 10 miles Saturday.

Will you run with me early Sat? Julie is coming over at 9:00 to bake

As long as I get home and showered and to my church by 9 for a Christmas breakfast......

From leslie on Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 16:57:32

Okay, lets think about it. I would need to be dressed and ready to go by 9 as well. Maybe we could run from 6 to 7:30. I have a big day Sat. and don't want to go too early or do too many miles. I will talk to you later/

I LOVE Sara Palin. I may be the only one in the WHOLE world, but I really like her. I loved the Tina Fey impersonations. SNL is not the same! :(

Have fun being all Christmasy! I am off to do more chores! Slave mom out.

YOu are not alone in the world, Harold likes Sara too. I think Tina would be a better VP! But I still love you and Harold and we can still hang out!!! :)
