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.

Okay, I went to the doctor yesterday to check on my panting while running. They did blood work, which I haven't got the results to yet. They did a chest xray and a EKG and both of those looked great. I have a stress test scheduled next thur. at St. Marks, the doctor thinks everything is fine, and if the stress test is alright, she will give me clean bill of health and I can do whatever I want. I had a hunch it was a combination of the stress and worry over Paul and cutting back on my runs due to the PF. I was up 6 pounds since my last doctor appt. afew months ago, so all of this contributed to my lack of energy and fatigue. I am glad that I had this check up, it is good to know this old girl is healthy just a little chubby and out of shape, nothing I can't take care of. So watch out! I am going to work hard this winter and be ready for a great year of running come spring! Thanks girls for encouraging me to check things out, it has given me peace of mind!!! You are all such great friends!!

This morning I did 4 miles up to Wasatch Blvd and back, nice and easy.

Last night Harold and I went to yoga! What a cute husband I have, and he is actually MUCH better at it than I am.

7.6 away from goal

Went on a great 4 mile hike with Kim S. on one of the new trails up Corner Canyon this afternoon, what a beautiful day!!! I think it was called Jacobs Ladder? Not sure...

I'm sending you all my positive thoughts!

Here is some entertainment for you, since you seem to appreciate my goofy side. My daughter had a slumber party with her two best friends (since they were 3!). I jumped in to be the "cool mom" and the girls played along perfectly for the pictures. They have on facial masks in these:
