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.

My friend Kim  and I went to take the dogs on walk up Corner Canyon and ended up going about 5 miles.  They have got so many new trails up there, I am excited to do some more exploring. We saw several runners and lots of mountain bikers.

Did  a slow 4 mile run this morning along Danish Road.  It was 27 degrees this morning and I was surprised that it felt just fine. 

I am not posting my weight on a daily basis,  it is making me crazy!  If I can maintain my present weight thru the holidays I will be  a happy girl! Here's to a great holiday season!!!!

Today is a Snowbird day, so I have to call every hour and see if I get an appt. I doubt I will go up, but just in case I do, I can't schedule appts. at home ( oh, poor me, bless my heart!) So I lounged around until 8:30 before I got my lazy butt out for a run.  I picked up the pace from yesterdays zombie run a bit. 

3 miles  Total time  34:01  Avg. pace 11:21   mile 1- 10:51  mile 2- 11:24  mile 3- 11:45

Now I am going to do weights and then head over to the spa and 30 min. on the eleptical (unless I have to go to Snowbird)

You have to check out Marions blog she has a great video!!!!

No running today!  I had to start my work day early to get my cute little ladies all done up for the holidays.  I am heading out of town today to go to my folks cabin in Torrey. I can hardly wait to get on the road.  I am not planning on doing any running at  all, but will be hiking everyday with the family.  I want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!  If you are travelling, be safe!  Have fun on the 20 miler and do a mile for me!!

Here are some pictures of me being a tough robust woman picking up my man.

And than I threw him on the ground.  Don't mess with me!

Our weekend in Torrey started out to be so much fun, we played games, hiked, and enjoyed each others company, but it ended very quickly when Paul had a siezure in the car after a little hiking trip.  He ended up having 5 seizures and taking an ambulance ride back to SLC last night. This morning he had another brain surgery and seems to be doing well. It was very frightening.  Hug your loved ones and be grateful for good health.

This is a picture of Julie and Paul about 45 minutes before he has his seizure.  You would never know that so much  trouble was brewing
