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 had a early 5 mile run in the dark around the neighborhood and then came home got a drink and some food and then went and ran up Millcreek Canyon on the road. I parked at the park-n-ride on Wasatch and ran from there.

I just have to say I am so looking forward to heading to St. George next weekend and getting up in the dark to drive up to the top of the Red Mountains and spend the day plodding along a beautiful trail. All day on the trails, with the sun on my back and gorgous scenery and a buffet of food set out for me along the way! I love ultras!

I had a charlie horse last night and my leg is still sore, so I did a walk with Odee this morning, I have been tapering alittle early, but oh well, it all feels right. I am going to run from my house to Liberty Park tomorrow and jump into the SL Marathon course. Harold is doing the Bike Tour, that will be my last long run before my 50K next week.

Harold did alittle bandit ride on the SL bike tour and then dropped me off at the Cottonbottom to do a little bandit run myself. I should have waited an hour, I was way ahead of the first place runner, so did most of it solo, however I did have the police escorting me across the street and aid stations that would make silly comments about how I was in first place. It was not as fun as last year when I jumped in with the mid packers. I will know for next year.

As far as I can tell there were two white guys in the lead and a Kenyan that was in third place, I wonder where all the Kenyans were? It was odd.
