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 am crazy.  Yesterday for an early dinner,( 3:30 in the afternoon), I had a 1/2 of a turkey wrap from Costco and then just ate raw veggies in the evening while playing cards with some friends.  They had pizza, I did not have one bite.  Yay me.  I got up this morning and the scale was up and  was really ticked and ate nothing before my run.  I met Rachel and Smooth and Kathy and two guys from the blog, I knew I would be slow, but on top of being slow, I was STARVING to death.  I always eat before a run.  Anyway, I took off with the gang, but lagged behind right from the start and decided to just do 4 miles to reach another 40 mile week.  It's all good, it was fun to say Hi and Goodbye!  I came home and the scale was still up and I have been SO good.  Oh well.

I came home ate some whole wheat cereal and then had the other half my my turkey wrap for lunch and tonight we are taking my girlfriend from Escalante out for Thai food, so I will probably be up tomorrow too.  You know I am doing the best I can, and what ever happens with the scale, so be it. 

Day #4  total down 3.3 pounds. 

It was fun to see you girls!!!!

Darn scale! You've been SOOOO GOOD with your nutrition!!! No worries, I'll bet it will be down tomorrow! BUT, DON't starve yourself. Eat so you can run and workout.

It was so good to see you at the beginning. You look skinny already and so BEAUTIFUL as always!

Enjoy Thai tonight! It's my favorite! I love their soup!

It was fun meeting you today! I am glad you look just like your Avitar or I would have not been able to find anyone on the blog.

Good luck with the food thing...Just keep at it and you will do great.

Les - watching the scale daily doesn't work. Just check it once a week. Sorry I was a party pooper today. Is your race next weekend, or the one after that?

Smooth and kathy, it was nice to see you today. I wish I had your zippy energy! I was really dragging, it was a beautiful day though.

Maurine, I know that, but I thought it might be different this time.....dah. I am frustrated. I just got back from eating

Thai food and all my good work is down the tube! Oh well.

I missed seeing you at the end :( Sorry you were so hungry and the scale was up.

Thai people are skinny so Thai food must be good for you!
