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 got up at 5:00am this morning and took Odee for a quick run around the park and then drove up to the mouth of the canyon and did the whole Little Cottonwood trail for the first time this summer.  No snow, but parts of the trail were a river with all this rain.  Lovely mornning, even that early I saw 5 other runners and about 6 mountain bikers on the trail.

Plan A was to hike with Kim from Corner Canyon up to the outlaw cabin on the trail to Lone Peak, but the rain and mudslides last night put a stop to that.

Plan B - I just got back from another road run, I have decided that I can do roads as long as I am feeling okay and I keep the miles low, and save my long runs for the trail. When I run on the road there is the embaressment factor of having my friends drive by and seeing how ridiculously slow I am, but I can live with that.  Kim and I are going to do yoga and then lunch.  Nice.

      Last night I  made plans to meet Maurine at Birch Hollow at 6:30am this morning. Late last night I went to get a coke with my little chicks and I told them of my plans and they  decided they would come along. Des and Lisa ( we missed not having our baby chick Jenny!) drove up with me.  I headed off with Maurine and ran with her for about a mile until she had to make a pit stop, I went back to check on my chicks, and found them having a nice time walking so  I turned around and went back to catch up with Maurine and  of course I never saw her again, and then didn't see the baby chicks until I got back to the car. It was pretty much a solo run, but it was nice to know I three great friends sharing the trail with me on such a beautiful morning.  Thanks Maurine, Des and Lisa, and if you are reading this Jenny, we missed you last night at Zuppas and on the trail!!!!!!

I wasn't up for a rainy day run, 3 miles on the Cottonwood trail and was soaking wet. 

I have been thinking of all the WBR runners, and wishing them a fun DRY time!

Is it too much to ask for perfect weather? Snow, then heat, then rain.....
