Personal:

Began running  again in 2009 to maintain my weight.  I happened on to this blog about the same time and have been reading  fairly regularly.  If you've written a race report, I've read it.  Thanks for the insight.

Married 28 incredible years.

Longest run in 3 months? just taken time off? Nice job on the extra miles and hopefully they still feel good!

Yes. Thought a little time off would motivate me. Going to give Ogden another try. How about you? Any race plans?

I'm shooting for Ogden too! However, just finishing it this year may be a feat for me. Not sure I can attach any time goals right now. My foot is in jail :( Just one. Broke my 2nd metatarsal by dropping something on it or kicking something - I don't remember. I remember the moment of pain and the foot hurting like heck, but then it was fine until a few days later I couldn't walk on it. x-rays showed a full fracture. stupid. makes me mad I was being so good about the off season, then for some dumb thing like this to happen. oh well, what can you do? So, I'm x-training like crazy and trying to keep cardio up until I get this darn thing off my foot and can walk and then run again. I was told my birthday (2/15) would be a good day to shoot for running again. Fingers crossed!

I guess I'll have to chase you down again, but this time in Ogden! Doubt I'll be able to hang in for a 3:30 like I'd hoped, but I guess we'll see what happens when I get my feet back under me!
