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.

Not feeling so hot, not sick, just BLAH..... one of those days where I would like to just escape for a day.  I will pretend like I am taking a recovery day and sound all positive in preparation for my 16 miler tomorrow, but it is really a bold face lie.

Woo hoo!!!  I did 17 instead of the planned 16!  I downloaded Eat, Pray, Love.  I was prepared to not like it, but I have heard so much about it that I thought I would try it and I was surprised that I enjoyed it so much, maybe because I had no expectations.  Whatever the case, it kept me interested and time flew by and I felt awesome.  Ernie joined us today, but  I didn't visit much due to the great audio.  It is just nice to have their friendly faces there and to wave to each other as one of us passes by the other.  Great morning! Now I need to get to work.

I made a mistake and did 18 miles!

I was happy to wake up to a body that felt great!  No stiffness at all after my 17 miler.  Today is my muscle-up day and yoga.

This morning I took Odee over to the Millcreek pond and walked/ran for 2 1/2 miles.  I love the new bridge, I know I will be spending alot of time there.  Odee loves chasing the ducks.  I came home, did an appt. and then went over to the spa and did 2 1/2 miles on the treadmill.  I did mostly a fast walk so I could enjoy listening to my audio book.   

Tonight is a GNO with my girls and cousins at the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate my Jana's birthday. Tomorrow Fiddler on the Roof at the Hale theater, then a spa day with my girls on Monday.  I feel like singing that Black Eyed Peas song, "Today's going to be a good day"!  Except I guess I should say weekend instead.

 

Have a great weekend my fast running buddies!!!

Love and Kisses your slow running but happy granny runner

Harold and Odee and I took a short little hike up East Canyon. 

I am happy to report I have run at least 30 miles  a week for the last 3 weeks.  I will try and up it a bit next week. I think I am on target for my 50k in April.
