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.

Sounds like a good plan to me!!!! We are going to Olive Garden tonight, NUMMY! I have not eaten much again today, this is really CRAZY.

Will you PM me your phone number so we can find you in that HUGE town of Green Valley???

Kelli, my phone number is 815-4163. I can't wait to see you!!!! You know you need to bring sleeping bags and pillows, right?

There are over 200 people running, when I did it, it was so tiny!

Have fun at the Olive Garden!!!

WOW, last time I checked they were only at like 140....COOL! More people to keep us company, I was worried about running alone and getting struck by lightening or attacked by a deer or something!

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 18:56:29 from 71.219.65.246

Oh, and YES, I knew we needed sleeping bags! We have to borrow some, we only have 4. We are SO NOT campers.

Good luck Leslie! I can't wait to read your report.

Scott, thanks!! I am trying to go into this with a positive attitude, but it ain't going to be pretty!! My daughter just called me a Fat Ass on FB and that is how I feel, chubby and out of shape! LOL! Oh, well, I can do this, I might be a few minutes behind Kelli and Smooth!! :) We are going to have a blast!!

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 22:51:20 from 71.219.65.246

WHAT??? I am gonna smack your daughter upside the head! Better yet, I will go defend you on Facebook!

I am currently downing a Tour of Italy with breadsticks and and I will follow it up with pumpkin chessecake. I hope I do not get sick, that is more food than I have eaten in 3 days!
