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.

I am in the hospital, I was watching Paul  and he had a horrible seizure that lasted about a half hour, there were about 16 people in the room trying to get it under control, they finally took him still seizing to have a cat scan and then he will go back to ICU, he was in a normal room looking forward to a release. I will keep you posted on his results. Sorry this is rushed and I am scared.

Did my same route I did yesterday, it was odd, I felt like I pushed harder,but it was almost exactly the same time.   My average pace was 12:10, yesterday it was 12:09.   It is hard to believe last July I ran a half marathon with an average pace of 10:33, I don't think I will be able to pull that off for Painters. That's okay with me, I enjoy my slow runs too. ( I say that like a 10:33 is fast, but it really is for me!  I thought I was Wonderwoman!)

ARe you all getting Christmasy?  I am going to decorate and put up my tree today!!!!  I am also going to go see Paul and Julie today!  Have a wonderful day!

This is my 3rd day doing the same route.  I finally cut off a little time.  One thing that helped was not overdressing ( yes, Maurine, you can say, " I told you so!"  How much longer can this fabulous weather last??  It was perfect!

 

4 miles  46:43  Avg. Pace 11:41

Paul is back home now!  He is on 3 anti seizure meds for the moment, hopefully that will do the trick.

Have a great day!  I  hope Keli has posted her quote, it is always a great way to start the day!!  Did anyone go get their shake?  :)

I went to the gym today!  That is pretty big for me, because I would really rather be outside running.  I did strength training and 3 miles on the eliptical machine. 

I have a full day today and our first Christmas Party tonight!  My parents are coming up from Torrey and we have the house all decorated for Christmas.  Paul hasn't had a seizure and so life is GREAT!!!  I hope you all have a fun festive weekend!!!

A quick run before a busy day.  Julie, Paul's wife has organized a service project to give items to a homeless shelter, so we are off to deliever and go have breakfast with my family. 

Odee is doing 11 miles with Maurine today on Antelope Island.

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

****still no seizures!****
