Wasatch Back

A friend of mine is putting together a team to run the Wasatch Back Relay. This is a run in the mountains, from Logan UT to Park City UT. Each team has 12 people who each run 3 legs of this relay. It is about 178 miles total and takes place over 2 days. Each person ends up running between 11 and 16 miles total. I know people who have participated in this in previous years and they loved it. It's a big party and everyone has a great time! I have all but paid my entry fee as far as commitment to the team. I think it sounds like fun. It's in June, so there is time to train. I just hope I don't get the uphill legs.

Spring!

It is finally starting to feel like spring. The forecast today is for sun and 50 degrees. Hooray! Winter has been long. Someone has been sick in our house just about every week this year. With all the fevers, puking, coughing, sneezing and a few stitches I'm ready to open up the house, turn off the heat and get rid of the germs. I'm anxiously awaiting the croucuses and keeping an eye out for that first robin. Hurry up!

1/2 Marathon

I filled out and mailed an application to participate in the Salt Lake Half on April 19. I'm now committed. I've been working out and running pretty regularly since the 1st of the year. Last night on my way home from the gym, I noted how good I felt. This is progress. Before I left work I was tired and really didn't feel like running, but I went anyway. I am so glad that I did. Especially since I have a half marathon to participate in in 8 weeks. My goal for the half: FINISH!

Finding Forty

I'm turning forty this year. Getting ready to enter the second half of my life (if you look at average life expectancy). I'm looking at the first half of my life as my growth period. I made it through childhood, graduated form high school and college, met and married my wonderful husband, had my beautiful children, and even have a good career and a mortgage. I have everything I need. Now it's time to work on getting myself fit, finding balance in my crazy life and having a bunch of fun. The first forty years flew by and were great. I want to make sure that I have a blast in the next forty too!

Peace~
