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.

Today is my cross training day. I did Muscle-up, Zumba and Yoga. It was great, but kind of odd to be indoors when it is so nice outdoors!!!

Happy St. Patricks Day!!!  I just had a green smoothie and am off for a green pedicure!!!!!!

I did my hilly Old Mill route this morning, Maurine was going to join me and we were going to do it 5:30am, but she called last night and was not feeling well. Dang it!  She needs to get better and FAST!!  My plan was to see if I could go just a tad faster than the last time I ran it and I did.  Last time my AP was 12:51  this morning it was 12:15.  Yeah!

Harold and I still have not gone out on a bike ride after work.  We were going to ride every day  after he gets home.  I will have to think of a bribe!

It's my birthday and I know that it will start a wonderful year of running and good health. Thanks Maurine for this entry, I woke up and saw it and thought I was going crazy, and then I remembered Maurine had my password and that she is crazy!!! Anyway, got up, and as you know it is my BD, and I decided I wanted to run on my special day instead of cross train. It was also weigh in day, so I didn't eat before hand (very very dumb....but SOO very me!) Did two miles at an 11mm and then crashed and walked/jogged the rest of the miles. BUT!!! I did drop! This is week #10 and I am down 5 pounds! I spent my morning working like a dog, but now I am done and am playing the rest of the day and hubby is taking me to dinner and giving me a massage. YIPPEE! Some cute little good fairy left me Paradise Bakery Cookies on my doorstep and I have already downed THREE!!! It is a happy day!!!  Oink! Oink!

I am taking a day off today. All I have in my tank is sugar cookies and Thai food, not very good running fuel and my legs are a little stiff. I took Odee over to the Old Mill Resivour and walked.

Instead of a long run tomorrow Harold and I are going to take a bike ride, the goal is to see if I can enjoy it. I am afraid of riding on the road. I need to get over this fear so we don't have to haul the bikes to a trail every time we want to ride bikes.

Have a great weekend everybody!!!

Harold and I went out for a 2 hour bike ride, oh, baby, my fanny is sore!  I could get into this bike thing I think, it sure takes different muscles, it was a great workout and great to be with my hubby. 

I am excited to work in my flower beds and then go to the Cheesecake Factory for another BD celebration.
