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.

Oh, for those of you who haven't seen my earlier blog entries about Paul, he is my son-in-law who had a rugby accident that caused a massive stroke, we are trying raise money for his rehab and therapy. He had his accident on July 19, he was just released from the hospital last week, he is doing well with his physical rehab, but is still not speaking.

We will be there with bells on!!! Do you want me to post it to the announcements? you can private message Sasha about it and maybe he will send out an announcement to every blogger.

Marion, I don't know how to do it, if Sasha says it is okay, can you put my flier somewhere on the blog? This computer stuff is over my head.

Looking forward to the big event. I will get with you for what help you need. It will be fun to meet Marion. Since we are doing 18 tomorrow, I'm going to have to pass on the Onion Days run. I would love to have done it.

Dang it. If I was there you wouldn't be the only red headed psycho running around.
