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

0.00

I decided to sleep in today. My heels have been more sore than normal so I am sparing them the pounding. I am doing Vit. I 3 times a day until the marathon and am going to ice several times a day. The weight stayed the same today, had I run it would have been down a bit, but I really need to work on my feet.

Tomorrow we head off!!

Good plan, Les. I will have my cell phone down there. Call me! Kevin is not coming along, so I will be all alone at the hotel (I'm assuming they are not even trying to resell my registration).

Okay! I will talk to you tomorrow night and we can come up with a plan on where to meet by the buses, or where to meet by the fires!

Good luck on your race Leslie! You do know that doing these two races qualifies you to me a marathon maniac right? You crazy woman you!

Happy Running! Stay injury free!
