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've got the UVM 1/2, RHPC 1/2 and St George. I am recovering SLOWLY, but the doc thinks I should be good for my planned races. It sure is taking a long time. :(

From leslie peterson on Tue, Jan 04, 2011 at 12:02:22 from 174.52.158.81

Oh, I may have to do the UVM half and the RHPC half!!!

Did you get in St. George, or just going to try?
