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 took the whole weekend off, it was a nice break!  Harold and I took Odee for a walk in Tanner Park Sat. before the snow hit, but it was short and not really worth blogging about.

Today I went to gym and a did 2 miles of speed work and then Ardie and I went to Park City and had a beautiful walk along the marathon course around the Swanner Reserve.  She took me to lunch afterwards for an early birthday  lunch at Squatters.  Pretty stinkin nice!!!!

Today was a little discouraging. I went to the Oval with Gary, and had a great book on tape to listen too, but I felt tired and my legs felt weak and achy, not really painful, just like old lady legs that are completely gooey and out of shape.  Ugh!  The thought of running my 50K in 5 weeks sounds pretty scarey. I hope I can improve my fitness level alittle by then, or it isn't going to be very fun.

Today I did muscle-up, spinning and had a 2 mile hike around Tanner Park with Julie, Ziggy and Odee. I am ready for a nap now.
