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

8.05

Got up early and left in the dark with my little head light and my new fuel belt and went for a run, I did my ultra pace, slow, but super enjoyable. It was warm enough I took off my hat and gloves. I spent the time thinking about the realistic New Years Resolutions I want to make. I am looking forward to a good 2009. 2008 was the most difficult year of my life, that of course was because of Paul's accident. Hopefully we will see some improvements with him and Ican jump into my running and have a good year with that too.

Have a great day! Painters is around the corner! I can hardly wait!

Wow, lady! You are rocking away! Nice mileage and nice use of your run.

Here's to a much better 2009 for you!

I've got to get my resolutions set a few hours before you since 09 starts here before the states... I'll have to give those some thought today!

Look at that mileage, and it's only Monday. I'm excited for the new year too. Here's to new resolutions and a better 2009!
