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. Favorite Blogs: |

It is Sunday again, and time to plan my week out. My goals for last week were a total bomb. I wanted to lose 2 pounds and ended up gaining 2, I wanted to swim 3 times, only made it once, and speed work, well, I could write a whole page on that, I was going at it all wrong and thanks to Laurie, I think I will not really plan on a real speed work out session for awhile, everytime I run with my Running Chics I am working on speed to just to keep up with them, so for now they are my speed work outs, other than that, I am just going to focus on distance, I have decided, now that my 50K back in May,is just a foggy memory, that I am going to attempt the Ogden Valley 50 miler with Maurine on Oct. 25, so I am going to be trying to put in as many miles as possible and have that be where I put my energy. I am also going to try and spend more time swimming laps. So, that being said my new goals are:
#1 35 miles for the week
#2 3 sessions of lap swimming
#3 focus on eating healthy ( notice no specific number.....)
I wish you all a good week,thanks for the support and the laughs, you guys are the best!
I did an evening stroll with my hubby up Big Cottonwood Canyon, we wanted to check to see if Puke Hill was free of snow, it is ready to go!!!!

| | This is a quick post, I have an appt due in a few minutes and am still in my stinky running clothes. I did 7.60 miles on the BST, from Draper to Corner Canyon and up Corner Canyon about a mile. Nice and easy, alot of walking, a nice start for the week. I ran into a massage client on the trail, I always love it when I see friends out on my morning run. | Comments(11) |
| | Lisa and I did a short run this morning, a 5 minute warm up of walking then two 15min. run/1 min walk intervals, it took us 41 minutes, we had a short cool down too. I am not sure of the pace with all the walking but we were bouncing between 9 and 11 min. miles, while on the running intervals. It was a good effort. Gotta cut this short, I am outta diet coke and need one in a bad way, so off to the Sev I go.....! | Comments(7) |

This was an extra FABULOUS run this morning. Ardath and I went up to Millcreek with Odee and she walked and I ran. On the way back I passed Ardath and told her I was going to put Odee in the car and for her drive down and pick me up! It took me 2:16 minutes. A nice easy pace for me on a trail. Tomorrow is the 9 miler with the Running Chics, I won't get away with that kind of pace with those speedsters! I am looking forward to a butt kicking run tomorrow. Today was a pure paradise!!!!! Yahoo!!! I did laps today! 60 lengths in 46 minutes, it seems like hours..... 70 will KILL me!

| | Our 9 miler was really pretty laid back today, which I am so grateful for. The younger girls had a few issues which slowed them down, potty stops, crud in shoes, chaffing ( these young girls haven't learned how to pee in the woods yet, I guess that is a skill that comes with age, and a lack of modesty) Anyway, it was nice, Lisa and I were out in front most of the time and took the time to do more walking to let them catch up. We saw one skunk and two deer, a real nature run. We did my favorite road route, along Wasatch Blvd. almost to South Mountain, it is nice running along the foothills, not a lot of traffic, a nice shoulder, and beautiful homes and scenery. We did our 9 miles in 1:50, and our average pace was 12:14. I felt we could have pushed a lot harder, but it was nice to take it easy. I love long slow runs, especially with good friends! Oh! I think I have my 35 miles in for the week! Yahoo! | Comments(3) |
| | I got up early, even though I planned to sleep in a bit, so ended up going on a 2 mile walk around the neighborhood, my heels are pretty hammered, I will have to take it real easy this next week in preparation for Bryce Canyon. I hope you all have great races or nice Saturday runs today!! I am on my way to ww, I have had a very good week of eating healthy, but from the way my scale looks, I am not going to see much of a differance. | Comments(5) |
