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.

So far my New Year's resolutions are all being met!  If I can do 4 days, I can do a week!  I got up early and did 2.40 on the treadmill and then took off with Ardath and Jeff on a great snow shoeing outing up at Suncrest.  We hiked along a ridge and could look down into Utah County and Salt Lake. Pretty cool.

Rach and Scott, this is a great way to cross train for me!!! Very little skill and coordination required! Haha!

Snowshoeing up at Suncrest sounds SO FUN! My friends did that on Sat, while I was running and they were driving up. SO JEALOUS!

Keep up the good work with the goals and resolution!!!
