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 picked up Gary and we went to the Oval. My goal was 11 and I did 12 miles!  Nice and easy.  We are going to keep this up all winter, it will be my long run of the week.  Gary and I were there almost 21/2 hours, we are going to increase our time by 15 min. each each week until we are up to 6 hours. That should have us ready for our Red Mountain 50k in April!! 

I had an In and Out Cheeseburger protein style afterwards.  320 calories,  no frys and no soda!  I also had a muscle milk after my run.  I am really trying to drop afew more pounds before Painters.  I CAN DO THIS!!!!!

I feel like I am starting all over again, but oh well! I needed a break after the 50, so I think I have my head back in the game now!!!

Nice job on the miles. Maybe I'll join you guys one of these weeks. I was just reading about muscle milk today. It is supposed to really help with recovery, so you will have to let us know if it helps.

smooth, hey, yes we can!!!! I have 5 to go, I'm going for it!!!!

Scott, that was the first time for me to try muscle milk after a work out, I have heard good things too, it tastes pretty good after a work out.
