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 probably shouldn't shouldn't count but I'm counting it.   I met my best friend Ann Alisa from Hawaii who is in town for a few weeks and we walked around the University Mall down in Provo.  Great therapy, she is my soul sister!

I think 27 degrees is perfect running weather. Ran to the Cottonbottom and back, it was BEAUTIFUL!!!!  I think I am ready to start "enjoying" running again! 

Maurine gave me a sticker for my car  " 50 the new 26.2 "  I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Next race is Painters Half in St. George, Jan 23 and then on the beach house for short visit!!!!

20 degrees seemed so much colder than yesterdays 27!  My plan was to run from my house up to Wasatch Blvd. and head south to Draper Park, which is about 10 miles.  I ended up calling Harold and told him I was turning around and to hurry and pick me up.  We then took Odee over to the Old Mill trail and walked around the pond, they built a beautiful new bridge.  

Just came back from Avatar, I really liked it, and I hate science fiction.  Very different, I loved the planet Pandora and the people in it.  Very magical.
