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 had a great time in Misquite with my mom  and cousin, we played the penny slot machines and sat by the pool and read and had a pumpkin facial with cranberries!  Pretty festive!  A great girl trip and very relaxing.  I walked in the morning, but took a break from running.  It was wonderful.

This morning I did muscle up and will do yoga this evening.  I have a full day of catch up from being away. So I need to get busy!  At some point I will go check on all your blogs, but it may take a while to catch up. Hope you all are doing well!

8.9 from goal ( I enjoyed myself in Misquite!)

Kelli, thanks! Hey, what was your crock pot chicken taco ingred.? I am trying to find it on the blog..... was it just chicken, picante sauce and taco seasoning?

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 13:47:18

Yes. Leslie, that is it! 4 chicken breasts, a jar of picante sauce or salsa (some of the new pace ones are fun) and a packet of taco seasoning. Tell me later how much you LOVE it, it is so good!!!
