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 took Odee down to the PR trail and did a slow easy run.  I am still feeling the aftermath of my California run. 

Looking forward to lunch with Maurine at Paradise Bakery!

Decided I must be faithful about my muscle-up class, I am so wishy washy, I really notice it since I have been on the blog and see how consistant and dedicated everyone is. I need to get a fire under my butt, I am too much of a coaster!

Went to muscle-up this morning, and then did 4 miles up Bengal Blvd and along Danish  Road.  51 min. AP was 12:48, and now I am heading off to a yoga class with Ardath. 

I am hoping to make Tue and Thur. my cross training days and get in a short little run too.

Happy Running and  a great day to all!

I did a route this morning that I haven't done in awhile, it is very hilly, I go down by the Cottonbottom and up past the Old Mill and up to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon, it was warm but very windy.  I will have to work at getting my pace faster thru the spring, I did a bit of walking.  

6.32 miles    AP 13:13

Tomorrow is week #8 of the weigh in, if I have a perfect day I should be down, the scale is looking good if I can just hang on!

Bummer!  Maurine and I were going to do my Old Mill run this morning, but when I woke up to 3 inches of snow on the ground I canceled.  I ended up going to the spa and doing 2 1/2 miles on the treadmill. I skipped out on my muscle up, just wasn't in the mood. 

As for my biggest loser contest I am down one pound from last week.  This is week #8 and I am down 4 pounds.  Nothing to brag about, but better than gaining!

I talked to my best freind in Hawaii yesterday, I would give anything to be sitting on a beach drinking a pina colada (virgin of course)! Maybe next year I will do the Honolulu marathon or the Aloha Run.  Something to dream about.

I did my hilly Old Mill route, the temp was 34, blue skies, the mountains were gorgous, perfect running conditions.  I beat my Wed. AP of 13:13

Today  6:29 miles   1:20  AP 12:51

Off to a busy day, have a great weekend!

I could feel myself getting sick yesterday, it got worse thru the night, I am taking 2 days off of running.  I hope you all enjoy your long runs, I will be anxious to hear about them!  Have a great weekend.
