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.

Today I slept in, the weather looked questionable. Harold and I took Odee to Tanner Park and walked.  We ended up getting caught it a wild storm, it was even hailing on the way home.

We ended up going to see  Momma Mia and I loved it.  I am not a DVD buyer, but I am getting this one!  I loved seeing Meryle Streep and the other gals kicking up their heels and having a great time.

Next year I am spending my Labor day at Onion Days!!!  Read Marion's blog for a report on the fun times in Payson!

Life is sooo crazy!  We are trying to wrap things up for the fundraiser, it is a good time to give the heels a break too.  I will be ready to go full speed ahead next week, but this week is all about survival!  I hope you are all  enjoying your runs with this nice cool weather! 

If any of you can come out to the fundraiser we would love to have you party with us!!!!   The info is on the discussion board, a big thank you to Marion!!!

 

Happy Running!

I had the slowest run EVER!  My mind is totally on the fundraiser, I was thinking of all the zillion things I need to do, it was helpful to organize my thoughts, but I did a total zombie shuffle!  I keep telling myself NEXT week I will get back in gear.  My heels are still tender....dang.

I woke up at 5:00a, couldn't sleep, didn't want to go up the canyon in the dark, so what's a girl to do that has sore heels??? I laced up my ever fashionable Z-Coil shoes ( the ridiculously ugly shoes with springs) and did a slow road run. It wasn't all that bad, I may actually do a little road running in them before TOU, I may actually wear the ugly mothers  at the TOU!  I feel SOOO out of shape!  I was huffing and puffing the whole way up the hill. I am in sorry shape that is for sure. TOU will be a training run for ST. George and, ST. George will be a training run for whatever I do next. Holy Cow I feel like a slug..... but the Party in Park tomorrow is going to be all worth it!!  My rock star son did an interview today with Big Budda on channel 13 and I was one  proud mama ! He was jumping off one BarBQ Grill to the next on his trials bike and being all fancy and smooth.  How did I get such cool kids???  I need to shut up right now..... sorry, these motherly pride moments are far and few between. I need to bask in my breif moment of glory!!!!!!!!
