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.

Harold and I chickened out on driving to St. George for the half marathon, the storm  made me nervous. We ended up driving to the beachhouse Sat. morning.  It is beautiful down here, the storm has passed and it is warm and sunny.  I got up this morning and did 11 miles along the beach to Dana Point and then did a few little trails in the area and then ran back to the beach house at Capistrano Bay. Tonight after dinner Harold and I will walk along the beach for 2 miles so I can get my 13 miles in.

Harold and I got up and did a 2 mile walk along the beach and then drove over to Dana Point with Julie and Paul and walked along the coast in search of a cave that Julie heard about.  We have been coming here for over 20 years and never knew about this cave. It was fun exploring, we saw lots of sea critters and shells along the way. 

My son lives at the top of Emigration canyon and said he has 3 feet of snow,  bless his heart.  It is beautiful here.

I got an email from Davy Crockett, looks like the Pony Express is open for registration now.  I am excited to sign up and have it to look forward to for the next 9 months.

Spent the night with my cousins in  St. George on the drive home from California and had a wonderful visit.  We did 3 mile hike in Snow Canyon before heading home. 

Tomorrow I need to get busy on my training, I feel like I have let myself go.  I have 9 months to get ready for the Pony Express and I plan on doing it on my own without the help of bootcamp.

I am back from my trip. I need to shift gears, and I am so not ready, thank goodness it is Friday and I have Sat. and Sun. to get my head on straight. I picked up the Eat Clean recipe book while in California and am really going to try doing my meals from that book.  It is what I have been searching for, a good recipe book with SIMPLE healthy ingredients.  I told Harold things are changing in this house, he can keep all his chips and cookies and ice cream, but the meals WILL be healthier.  I am on a mission to get ready for a strong 2010 race year.  My first race is the Red Mountain 50K April 24, I have time to do this up right, but I need to start TODAY!  To get to my 12 pound goal by my 55th birthday I need to drop 1.71 pounds a week.  It is a very reasonable goal!  

I started my morning out with a 2 mile eliptical session, hopefully I can do something else today, but I am playing catch up in the salon.  Be patient with me, I am going to be rambling alot and talking myself into better nutrition and better workouts.
