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.

So far my New Year's resolutions are all being met!  If I can do 4 days, I can do a week!  I got up early and did 2.40 on the treadmill and then took off with Ardath and Jeff on a great snow shoeing outing up at Suncrest.  We hiked along a ridge and could look down into Utah County and Salt Lake. Pretty cool.

I went to the spa to work out, and didn't eat before I left. I did a mile and half on the TM and then went to muscle-up, I felt pretty weak at muscle-up and couldn't lift as heavy as normal, I know better, but I was trying to be tough and cut back on my calorie intake.  DUMB. Tonight I will go the the gym and get in a half hour of cardio to get my 2 hours in. 

Did the treadmill tonight.  I got my 2 hour goal in.

I went to the Olympic Oval and ran with Gary this morning.  We loved it and are going to do it every Wed. until we get decent weather.  I got 10 miles in.  I treated myself to In and Out. I got a Cheeseburger protein style, 320 calories, AWESOME!  But, I got the fries too, thinking they are not very greasy and they were 400 calories, DANG!  Next time I will not be getting the fries.

Muscle-up this morning, had to dash out of class to get home for a busy day of work.  I will take out Odee out later this afternoon for a walk to get in my 2 hours.

 

Have a great day!

Okay, it has been one week of 2010, I did pretty darn good with my New Years Resolutions, but have decided I need to tweak them a bit.

Goal #1 and #2 will remain the same.

1- drink 100oz. of water a day

2-drink one green smoothie a day

#3 is changing, instead of 2 hours a day 6 days a week, I am changing it and giving myself the option of one hour of intense training or 2 hours of a moderate work out, I found myself not pushing very hard knowing I had to stay in the gym 2 hours. We will give this a try next week, I am thinking it will encourage me to really sweat and get the work out over with.   I need options and flexibility.
