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 Odee up to Millcreek to run the Pipeline this morning.  There is still way to much snow, but it is melting and I am optimistic it will be ready for running in a couple of weeks.  We went on a beautiful 3 mile hike, blue skies, warm and  it just felt so good to me up in the mountains again, the best part is the pine woodsy smell.  Heaven.

I bought a annual pass today, I am always thinking I should and I  finally did it this morning, I will make it worth it this year!!

I took Odee over to the Bonneville Shoreline trail. It is clear of snow for the most part, a few patches here and there. They are in the process of building a bridge over the first river crossing, so we can keep our feet dry this summer.

Paul had 3 seizures last night, the last one was quite long and was pretty intense, they had to call an ambulance. He is back home now waiting to get an appt. with his neurologist. I am going to go stay with him while Julie goes to work. I am so glad I have a flexible work schedule so that I can be there for them.

I did my run to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Last time I had an AP of 12mm, this morning I did with an AP of 11:15. I had to hurry home to do an appt. and then I am going to go back out for another run. It is perfect weather out right now.

I called Maurine and she met me at Wheeler Farm to run, she does it all the time, I had only done it once on a 5k with Maurine. It is such a great place!  Lots of dirt trails weaving around this beautiful wooded area, and you can see some fun animals too.  While we were running Julie called and said she and Paul wanted to come over and walk so when they got there Maurine took Odee and did some more running while I walked with the kids for a few minutes. I am going to be going over there alot!  Thanks Maurine!  Call me next time you go over on your lunch hour! 

Oh, and since I am on a quest to find the worlds most perfect sugar cookie, I tried Kneaders, Kelli thinks they are the best and they are VERY VERY good, but I still prefer Paradise Bakery!  Different strokes for different folks I guess.
