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.

Day 3- 13 miles at the Oval.  The air is horrid and cold. Thank you Oval.

Had a talk with my son Chris about working out, he told me what I really already knew, but have ignored - I need to increase my intensity. Just because I am a 55 year old woman I don't need to act like one. I went back to the gym tonight and did 2 miles on the tread mill at a faster pace and actually broke out into a sweat, yah, yah, I know, all this running and I keep the pace slow enough that I don't even breath hard, and then I do a race and try to push it and I about die.  Geez I am a slow learner!!  So my new goal is to sweat every day, just a little anyway!  I need to get out of this shuffle rut!

Day 4- 30 min. in the gym, if it weren't for the challenge I would have skipped it all together, I was dragging all day, I guess a light work out was in order after yesterday.
