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.

We are babysitting grandkids tonight.  Hope you all have a Happy New Years!!!!

Isn't it a shame that work interferes with your fun?

Are you running tomorrow?

From leslie on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 10:39:39

I am freaking out, Odee took off and he is no where to be found, I am sure he will eventually come back, and he has tags and a chip, but I am so stickin' mad at him right now. I am calling the Bird every hour and may have to leave him out all day. Bounder.

We are babysitting grandkids overnight, so I am not sure when their parents are picking them up. So I am not sure about a run, I would like to get one in, but don't have a plan as of yet. How about you? Good luck on your 5K this afternoon!!

Odees back and grounded!! Dang, I love that dog!!!!! Whew! Scared the crap out of me!

From tarzan on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 11:03:49

Phew! I was worried. I was going to take off work and come and look for him if he didn't show up soon.

From leslie on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 11:07:47

You are too sweet! Thanks!! But all is well now, he never does that, wierd....oh, yeah, I guess he did that at Millcreek that one time and you rescued him. Silly Odee.

Have a safe drive!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

From Kelli on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 15:39:35

Dang dogs!!! I feel your pain, that is why I no longer have one (although the kids beg daily for another dog---if I could find a kid friendly, pre-potty trained medium sized dog, I would go for it).

Have fun with the kiddies, what a nice grandma you are!!! I am hoping my kids do not realize what tonight is so we can just go to bed at 9! I need some good sleep in my own bed!

From leslie on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 15:53:23

Kelli, Old dogs rule! I would never do puppies again! Let someone else break them in.

I can't wait until tomorrow. A brand new slate!

From Kelli on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 15:59:27

Yeah, me too! I WILL lose this weight in January! If I focus on good health and running, I can do it. Now scale obsession, just eating right. it is the factor that I have been trying to ignore (or get away with not doing) for the past 4 months!!!!

BACK ON TRACK we are!

From leslie on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 16:03:20

Me too Kelli, healthy eating and exersize, forget the fricking scale and the games we so often play! Yay for us!

From Kelli on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 16:15:10

And, if we can truly forget the scale, our weight will just magically go down!!! I know it! Obsessing over it is like watching water boil, it never works!!!

Happy New Year Leslie!!
