I ran my first marathon as a teenager in 1981 with my Dad (The Coronado Marathon). Since then I've run St, George (3x) Utah Valley (3x) Ogden (1 full, 2 halves) Park City (1 x) Boston Marathon (1x) Washington DC (1x) Moab Half Marathon (6x) ,Ye Old Freedom Festival 5 & 10K (a million x) and many others.
But I'm all done with that now. I'm officially a jogger.
I don't think my knees can handle skiing and running on the same day. My knees got sore yesterday. Got to lunch with queen Josse. I miss running-running. But lunch is a close second. I have a few favorite Josse running memoires, but my favorite is Ogden Half Marathon with her and Ericka. Josse was 5 months pregnant. It was a beautiful day, and we saw a hawks flying over Pineview resevoir while the sun rose.
I want to record that now past my mid 40's I can actually feel the moment in my cycle when my progesterone level dips. It is sudden, and severe and leaves me exhausted/lethargic/foggy for 2 weeks before my next period. The sensation has, over the last 3 years, become severe enough I'm seriously considering a perscription to either progestrone cream or contraceptives (which I never used in my life). I am day on 1 of a new cycle and it literally feels like I'm using amphetiamines / caffeine.
