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 ran in a full blown snow storm, it was really nice, I put on my YakTracs and took off, I went a little longer this morning and did some walking, I can't believe how much I enjoyed the winter weather. I was really happy this morning, I was so touched by our new Presidents speech last night. I am excited to see what kind of changes he brings to our country.  It is a beautiful morning.

Did a super slow run today. The garmin pooped out on me and so did the ipod. I think the cold temps. are the culprit.  I just got my rebuilt garmin and am having problems.  Maybe I need to go buy the new fancy one that looks more like a watch.  Maybe Santa will bring me one if I am a good girl.

Note:  I had on my Yaktax today and slipped several times,  last year I wore them on trails and they are great, but you do get some slipage on the black ice, so beware.  I still like them alot, I would never attempt running on the streets without them, but they are not foolproof.  I may try and get Harold to put the screws on my shoes and see if I get better traction.

I love the idea about the duct tape, thanks who ever mentioned it, I think it may have been Teena. I love all the bloggers tips!  You guys are the best.

Maurine and I are planning on the Sat. 15 miler!  So never fear your sweepers are here!!!

6.5 from goal  ( this stinks to high heaven!) Maybe I need the duct tape for my mouth!!
