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.

Harold and Odee and I did a run (Harold biked) on the Great Western trail down in Torrey. IT was hard, too much candy in the gut, vacation lazy mode and high elevation, but hey I did it! It was a great trip!

I ran to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon and found a new trail !    It was pretty steep  and so I did a fair amount of walking, good ultra training. It was a beautiful day! 

 Busy day, off to get a massage and then Harold and I are actually going to use our Hale Theater tickets tonight.  FUN!

I got up in the dark and got on my running gear and it was raining and snowing like crazy!  I took Odee around the park and came in to wait out the storm, still waiting.... I give up!

I am getting old!  I got up and got my winter gear on AGAIN and went to the park with Odee to do a loop and the cement was icy and I slipped and fell.  I went to the Rec. center and did 3 .50 on the treadmill, I felt tight and tense the whole time.  Oh, well, better days are ahead.

Finally no snow on the ground, I wish I had time for a long run, but fridays are super busy for me. I ran up Bengal to Danish and along Danish. I was huffing and puffing like a freight train so I know I had a good work out, but my pace was very slow.

Good luck to everyone doing the SLC marathon and half, Harold is doing the bike tour so I will look for you all!!

Harold and I got up at 4:30 am to get ready for the SLC Marathon Bicycle Tour. I dropped him off at the U and then came home and got dressed and  then went down to the Gateway to pick him up. He did great and had a fun time. He said he was pretty tired, he hasn't been able to train so this was his first big ride of the season.

After we got home I told him I was going to run to Julie's new apt. down in Midvale and he said why don't you jump on the marathon route and run on the course. GREAT IDEA!  I actually did it last year and I had forgotten how much fun it was.  Harold dropped me off at the Corporate Center and I ran from the Cottonbottom Bar down to Liberty Park. 9 miles.  It was great, music, aid stations and the motivation from the crowd.  After I got to the park I walked around for another mile waiting for Harold to pick me up. I was super happy with my time for a 9 mile training run.
