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.

Ardath and I left the house at 8:00am, headed up to Millcreek. The temp was 28 when we got out of the car.  We had a beautiful fall hike.  Lots of leaves on the trail.  Odee was in heaven, we were too. 

Ardie is doing the half marathon in Mesquite, it is killing me, I was on, and then off and now I want to be on again.  We shall see.......

Today was my first day back to Muscle-up, I upped my weights quite a bit and had a great work out, my 3 months of bootcamp made me realize I am capable of lifting heavier and working harder.   It isn't the same as bootcamp, bootcamp also gives you a good cardio work out as well, but this is so much cheaper, I am just going to have to make it work.  I also don't think I want to keep up that intensity on a regular basis.  Maybe I will go to bootcamp once a year for a shot in the arm,  the same time next  year to prep for the Pony Express, that seemed to really strengthen my legs for the race.  Yoga at 10:30.

 

Have a great day!

Got up early and did 15 min. on the eliptical machine, had to rush home to make pumpkin bread for my VT ladies.  I am hoping to get back to the gym or go for a winter run this afternoon.

Last night I started sneezing and woke up to a sore throat, chills and congestion.  I cancelled all my appts. and am staying in bed with hot chocolate and reading The Other Boleyn  Girl.

Still sick, but I now know it is a common cold and not the H1N1, so I am okay with it.  I wore a mask while doing my appts. 

Hopefully I can get out tomorrow for a short run, I haven't done much since the Pony Express, I need to get busy!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!
