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 am hiking with Ardath today but I thought I would go over to the gym and try and do one 10 minute mile, I haven't tried that in awhile.  I am happy to say I can still do it!  I need to do that more often.   I will post my hiking miles when I get back.

Hiked with Ardath up in Millcreek Canyon, put in at Birch Hollow, hiked up to Elbow Fork and down the road to the car.  It really is a beautiful day when you can get above the smog.

I think it is just muscle up today, unless Harold is up for a cardio work out tonight. 

Have a great day everyone!

I picked up Gary and we went to the Oval. My goal was 11 and I did 12 miles!  Nice and easy.  We are going to keep this up all winter, it will be my long run of the week.  Gary and I were there almost 21/2 hours, we are going to increase our time by 15 min. each each week until we are up to 6 hours. That should have us ready for our Red Mountain 50k in April!! 

I had an In and Out Cheeseburger protein style afterwards.  320 calories,  no frys and no soda!  I also had a muscle milk after my run.  I am really trying to drop afew more pounds before Painters.  I CAN DO THIS!!!!!

After my 12 miler yesterday and a game of raquetball ball with Harold last night, the thought of muscle-up did not sound very appealing. I ended up doing an easy 30 min. on the bike while reading  Three Cups of Tea and then doing a very relaxing yoga class. It was a good choice.

 I ran over to the gym and did one quick mile on the eliptical machine, Fridays are busy.  Harold and I are planning to work out at the the new Newport Spa later this afternoon that just opened up in Alpine to support my friends Rusty and Marcie Owens.

I wish I could sleep in, I was wide awake at 5:00am and laid in bed until 6:30 and finally decided I may as well put in acouple TM miles.  I did 2 miles at the rec center and then Harold and Odee and I did the loop up Millcreek from Birch Hollow to Elbow Fork and down the road.  It is a good thing the mountains are so close, if I didn't get above this crappy air acouple times a week I would go looney.
