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 just did a 3 mile hike with Julie and the dogs on the Pipeline. I was so happy to wake up to zero pain. This is huge for me. I can go up and down stairs without any problems and use the toliet without assistance!! Thank you Bootcamp!!!!

Have a great Sunday!

Harold, Devante and I took a short hike up to the Bell's Canyon Res. this afternoon. Legs are still feeling great, this is pretty exciting for me.

Bootcamp has been super hard this week, is it the instructors kicking it up a knotch, or that my body is really just lagging from the marathon, not really sure, I had no stiffness or soreness after the race, but maybe my body is still in recovery mode. Anyway, another butt kicking session, on acouple of the crazy exersizes they have you do, they had to take all the weights off me so I could use proper form, I was the only one who had to do them all sissyfied. Oh well, most of the people in the class are kids in there 20 and 30's, so it is not too bad that have to drop the weights for the Trail Running Granny, I guess.

Off to run with Julie!

Have a great day!
