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 was so excited to run with my Chicks again!!! It has been almost 2 months since I have run with them. I have had to slow down and stay on the trails to get my heels in better shape. I am feeling alot better. It really helps wearing my funny Z-Coil shoes when I am on the road. 

Our pace felt good to me this morning, I was afraid the chicks would leave me in the dust, since I have been slacking in my training lately, but I kept up.  It was a nice run, dark, cool, and fun to feel like I am part of the pack again.  Thanks girls.

I haven't blogged since the fundraiser, it was a huge success!  Such an amazing turnout. Marion came all the way up from Payson, it was so fun to meet her  handsome husband and adorable kids.  Thank you Marion!!!  I am mad that I didn't introduce her to Lisa, my mind was a little befuddled.... okay totally befuddled! 

I am excited to really have a nice fall running season,  and enjoy TOU and ST. George!!!!!!

Leslie - It was so GREAT to have you with us again. I enjoyed the pace and was so proud of you for being right there with us. I'm afraid to think where I'd be if I had to take off several weeks of running.

How did the heels fare? It was so wonderful to see you Sat! My kids love their t-shirts. Ford has not taken his off since Saturday night, litteraly. David forced it off of him this morning. Stinky 7 year olds!

Great miles!

Did you say "enjoy" 2 marathons?

Lisa, I loved running with you guys, I will be at Jenny's tomorrow at 5:30a !! Did the girls sign up for the pasta dinner in Logan? I was wondering if Jana can tag along for dinner?

Marion, that brings back memories! I love those stinky little boys! Stinky and cute! The heels are doing much better, not 100% but much much better, thanks!
