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.

Well, here it is Wed. and I haven't had a diet coke since Sunday and it has been painless, I haven't had a headache and I haven't felt bloated. This has been super easy, I hope this frame of mind continues!  I know it is all in the head for me.

I walked for 2 miles in the neighborhood with my best buddy Ann from Hawaii.  I haven't run since Sat. and my heels are feeling a little better. Tomorrow I will test out the heels on a trail run on the Pipeline with Maurine and hopefully Laurie. 

Now I need to check out your morning runs!  Have a great day!

Good girl, on every account! Now you're a massage therapist... rub the tar out of those heels! Make yourself cry like a baby! And then Ice, ice, baby!

Come down with Maurine for the Hobble creek half! We can run a bit in Mapleton and grab some grub and cheer our FRB partners in crime!

Maybe you should stick your feet in the creek after our run tomorrow night!

Marion - Les has a triathlon and I have a marathon the day of Hobble Creek - so you will have to cheer without us.
