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 thought I would wake up to blizzard, it looked pretty good out so Harold and I took Odee for a mile walk in the park, and then we walked over to the spa and did 2 miles around the track and watched the little kids below playing Jr. Jazz.  We walked home and  I felt like I had just warmed up and the weather was unbelieveably nice so I took off and did a 4 mile run.  My heels were feeling  pretty bad though, I was doing the tip-toe run and dodging ice, a very pokey pace, but I enjoyed my run outside.  This was a super low mile week for me, I need to crank it up for Painters, I can't believe it is just around the corner, and I am not ready.

You are ready, you will be fine!! You are great! Way to get out there in the snow. I was kind of bummed when I woke up and saw that the weather was okay, but I bet there was still too much snow on the trail anyway!

Have a great rest of the weekend!!!

Good for you for getting out. I've been busy shopping, meeting my son to buy his birthday gift and calling my dad for his birthday and haven't got out yet.

Nice day Leslie! Don't you love that feeling of possibly being done but feeling so great you just have to get a little more in! Love it!! My guess is that you are way more prepared for Painters than you think you are.

(Sorry about your heels.)
