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 got a free entry to the SG half marathon in the mail....wierd huh?  I think they were picking random names from the marathon.  I wasn't planning on doing it since I will be down that way in Nov. and then again in April, but we will see.  Did any of you get a free pass?

I did gentle yoga with the senior citizens today at the rec center, it was nice to ease back into life, but it was really too gentle for me.  Then I did 10 min. on the eliptical.  Baby steps.

WOW! I'm in the runners series and that was one I was planning on (painter's, right?) So I will see you down there! Now I want to check my mail to see if I get in free too.

Do they still have the 'silver' classes for seniors? I'd agree that you could whoop any of those 'silver' exercisers!

Rach, don't tempt me, it would be fun, maybe I will sign up and then decide later if I really want to go.

NICE *prize* in the mail. They must have heard that you want to do one race a month! :) Too bad it didn't come with a free massage coupon! Wouldn't that be grand?

I need to go yoga and right now I feel like a *silver* senior citizen myself! Oh, good job on the elliptical! I need one of those too!

Smooth, this red head is feeling pretty "silver"!! I miss you guys too!

Are you doing Painters too?

From Smooth on Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 16:43:25 from 63.228.197.20

Most likely not for Painter's. My daughter is expecting her 4th in Jan. I'm going to TX and enjoy a new grand son. I just signed up to run Snow Canyon Half next Sat. That will be 1 down for the runner's series!
