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.

This morning I did muscle up and one mile on the treadmill.  I am off to walk Odee.

Tonight I am doing yoga.

7.5 from goal (CRAP!  I had such a good day yesterday and was up .2, that just frys me!  If I had done my 4 miles I probably would have been down, oh, well...)

I am going to see if I can do my early voting today!

I ran  along Danish Road today, decided to do 5 instead of 4, did a little walking.  Beautiful weather! It took 1:07

5.8 from goal! ( the scale finally made a move!) This is where it gets really hard, the last 5 freaking pounds. Help me help me, tonight is a girls night out at La Cocina!  I will be good, I will be good!!!!

I am really looking forward to Sat. to do our Day After Halloween 10 Miler!! What should I bring? I hear Marions bring hot chocolate and Keli muffins and Jon chocolate covered bacon ( yicks!!)

Beautiful Morning!  The skies were orange and pink, it was fun to watch the sun come up, and 4 deer ran across the road right in front of me.  I was listening to IZ on my ipod, it was great.  I cut off one minute doing the same route I did yesterday.  1:06

5.7 from goal   I was happy with that, only a .1 drop from yesterday, but at this point anything is good, not gaining is good.  I was super good last night at my girls night out, not one single chip entered my chubby little cheeks. Tonight is a Halloween party with the family and I will do the same thing!  I am feeling very optimistic.  I am so excited for tomorrows run!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!

 This morning Harold and I got up early and picked up Maurine at 6:20 and took off to Lehi for the After Halloween 10 Miler with the bloggers.  It was  a great time!!  I agree with Kelli, we all need to move into the same neighborhood so we can do this daily!!  There is nothing more fun that meeting up with a bunch of running buddies and spending the morning together! It was fun to start in the dark and watch the sun come up. It was a beautiful morning. Hopefully Harold can figure out how to post some pictures.  Thanks Marion for organizing it, and thanks Kelli for the delicious muffins!!  It was great to meet you all!!!!

Harold just figured this photo thing out, here is my 70's picture!
