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.

Quick post.   3 treadmill miles, 4 1/2 trail miles with Ardath and Odee on the Pipeline.  A Spa day with my girls. 

I would say that is a perfect day!

I did muscle up this morning.  Strength training is not my favorite, but I know it is so important the older you get, so I am really trying to stick with this.  I am hoping to get out for a few miles with Odee this afternoon over at the Old Mill pond.

I ran out at the Oval by myself this morning.  Ernie and Gary went out of town.  It was alittle lonesome, but I had a new book on tape to listen to and it was really good, The Associate by John Grisham. 17 miles went by pretty well, the last mile was not fun at all.  I am not quite sure how many miles I should work up to for my 50K in April.  Maybe 25 miles?  I guess that sounds like a good number.  I am not one to be very specific in my training.  If I take this stuff seriously it wouldn't be as much fun!

 

I need to learn to add, I did 19 miles not 18!!!!!!  Last week I did 18 not 17!  Good news for me.

Okay, good news, my 19 miler yesterday did no damage, I feel great this morning!  It is nice to know I am making some good progress.  Today is a day off of working out.  I would have liked to have gone to muscle up, but I have a super busy day, so I will enjoy a recovery day.

I did my version of speed work on the treadmill this morning. I decided that trying to have unrealistic goals keep me from trying at all, so I did 2 min. at 3.8 and 2 min. of 6.1 and kept that up for 2 miles.  It was pretty easy, but I will increase time and speed slowly.

Have a wonderful weekend!  No injuries!

Short walk with Julie and the dogs to the Old Mill pond.  Ziggy got a bazillon burrs in her hair and we spent a half hour cutting them out with sissors.   Then I ran from my house down to Winco in Midvale where Julie was shopping.
