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 did a quick TM run.  I did  1.20 miles at a10:00 mm pace.  That is good for me. Now off to go snow shoeing, I will post my miles later.

We hiked on the trail that started near the Little Dell golf course.  I think it is called Alexander Springs or something like that.  Ardath had been there before, it follows a river, we didn't see another person on the trail.  There are alot of beaver dams but we couldn't see them because of the snow. I am looking forward to hiking it in the summer. We got so hot we were peeling off several layers, blue sky, it was awesome.

Today is usually my Oval day, but Julie is doing a presentation today about her Stroke Recovery Center she is trying to get going and so I am going to the Oval tomorrow.  I did a little run around the park with the dog and then up to Bywater Park, I am feeling like I need a some motivation.  Do any of you know of a half marathon in Feb?  I am dragging.

Had a great time at the Oval with Gary.  We both have Ipods, so we chat on the way to the Oval and then zone out to our books on tape. I am listening to Girl with the Pearl Earring.  It is good, I am enjoying the distraction. Today, we saw Russia, Norway, France and the USA speed skaters practicing for the Olympics.  Very exciting!!!

I had to take Harold to work this morning, so I didn't get my workout in until almost 7:00pm.  I went over to the spa and did 30 min. on the eliptical and 30:00 on the bike.  I do not like working out at night, but was proud of myself for getting it done!

Oh, and I wanted to say, I felt great this morning after my 14 miler yesterday, no soreness at all.  That made me happy. I am getting there, slowly but surely.

A short walk with Odee and Harold thru the park and then a short treadmill session at the spa.  

I am thinking of Ardath today as she runs her half marathon in Pasadena, where we both grew up.  She is a tiger.  This is her 3rd half marathon this year! Oh, and she is 68 years old, she is one amazing lady!!

Off to prepare healthy snacks and soup for the Super Bowl!  Thanks Kelli for the recipe.  I am making white bean chili with her tomato dressing!!!!
