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.

Now that my runs are done for the year, I am going to focus on getting these last few pounds off and following Sashas plan to run 4 miles 6 times a week.

I have been thinking a bit about my DNF in ST. George and I have decided it was really very liberating to think that I could drop out without feeling quilty, I think being 53 years old and all the marathons under my belt made it easy for me to say " okay, this one is not working for me today, I'm done". I had a great weekend with my husband, a fun story to tell, and am looking forward to my next run in the Spring. I think my Give a Damn got Busted and it was all Good!!! Thanks Marion for introducing me to my new favorite song!!!

You are very welcome!! I think it is a sign of BRILLIANCE when you can walk away from something that does not serve you! One of my favorite yoga mantras is "let go of that which does not serve you".

Good luck with your 4 mile a day running plan. Take care of those heels!!! :) How are they feeling today?
