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.

Total Distance

5.00

I forgot how nice it is to get up before the sun to run and watch the sun come up! I did the same run I did yesterday to the mouth of BCC and back and then took Odee for a 2 loops around the pond.

The weightloss is going well!

Day # 3 down 4.1 pounds and have 5.9 to go! This is the weight I usually get to and then bounce right back up, so anything from this point on is really worth celebrating.

Breakfast- 2 healthy cookies ( 79 calories each)

snack- cottage cheese and pretzels

lunch- green smoothie

Wahoo! Keep up the good work on the weightloss. You're doing great!

Thanks! It will be very tough to have another loss tomorrow, but I am trying!!!

From RAD on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 14:18:57 from 67.172.229.125

You're doing GREAT! Come run with me tomorrow morning and we'll work those last couple off :) Porter Rockwell at 7AM? I'd love your sweet company!

From Smooth on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 14:29:13 from 174.23.201.210

I am so NOT a morning person! I admire you getting up before the sun and got her done!

You're doing AWESOME on the weight loss and nutrition. Keep up the good work! Think: slim, trim, mean machine, that's you!!! :)

Rad, I will be there, do you want to meet at the Draper Park parking lot? We can start out together and then you can scoot ahead, I will not be able to keep up with you, but it will be fun to start the morning together. Maybe Harold will come and roller blade or bike. Is anyone else coming?

Smooth, thanks for the encouragement. I think I am going to actually do it and not just talk about it. IT is all about action not talking and dreaming! Yes, I will think slim trim, mean machine! I think you should come tomorrow too!!! I haven't seen you in ages! I hope your training is going well, I have not checked up much on everyones blog.

From Smooth on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 15:09:40 from 174.23.201.210

I'm planning on coming...still have to check w/ hubby to make sure I have a car.

From RAD on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 15:30:15 from 67.172.229.125

Kelli may come too...depending on when soccer games are. If she can, she'll sleep in :) Feel free to bring/invite anyone, I'm in need of a good Saturday party...uh, I mean run :)

Leslie- I would find a way to sneak in an In N Out burger if you can. Minus the bun and it is considered healthy, right?

From leslie peterson on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 16:25:58 from 174.52.158.81

That would be great to see Kelli!!!

Scott, in and out protein style is always a healthy choice in my world!!! :)

Sorry I didn't get up this morning. My body is still in recovery mode. On the bright side - my ankle had been hurting for 2 days and wasn't when I got up.

From RAD on Sat, Apr 10, 2010 at 14:51:18 from 67.172.229.125

I was SO sad that I didn't get to see you and give you any of my oranges after your run! I hope things went well and you got everything in you'd hoped to!! Thanks for coming I had a wonderful, although too short, visit with you!!
