Alex’s 28th birthday.  I remember the Sunday he was born.  It was a beautiful, Fall day.  He was such a beautiful baby, healthy and strong with dark hair. The happiest days of my life have been when my children were born.  He has been such a pleasure to raise and I love him as an […]

Last Saturday, Sue O., Cokie and I met @ 5:10, got driven by Joe to the top of Emigration Canyon before the turn to Little Mountain and started our 18 miler down the canyon.  What a treat to be able to run slightly downhill at the beginning of a long run and get a few […]

Today, along with Cokie and Donna, I ran/walked 16 miles as I am training for the St. George Marathon in October.  It was a beautiful morning, quickly warming up as we trudged along and I do mean trudged.  As we are getting older with accumulated injuries and tired from all the goings on in our […]

  Man, what a week it’s been for events that make us look at ourselves, as a country, closer.  My fast running friend, Donna, was running the Boston Marathon on Monday but when she got to 25.5 miles, she was stopped and routed in another direction.  She said:  “We were freezing, scared, hungry, tired and […]

Last weekend, both Sue O. and I were in St. George and since we are both signed up for the Ogden Marathon on May 18, we planned to run a 14 miler on Saturday.  It was beautiful weather in St. George and would reach a high of about 78 that day.  Sue was feeling pretty […]

It is snowing outside my window and there is a large doe sitting under a snowy pine tree in our backyard.  Now I know it is the second day of Spring but I am having a hard time believing it.  Last week I was in the hot, hot sun in Palm Springs, walking in the […]

I remember this day, two years ago, quite well.  I had an appointment to meet with a plastic surgeon about reconstructive surgery when I got a call from my surgeon telling me that the type of cancer I had was Triple Negative.  I had to be out the door quickly but I did a quick […]

This has been such a hard running winter.  We’ve had so much snow and cold temperatures so it’s icy in the morning and when it’s dark, it’s especially treacherous!  One winter morning, a few years back, Cokie fell and broke her wrist on the ice.  There were several of us running and we decided to […]

Millcreek Canyon is such a beautiful place, Summer or Winter, Fall or Spring.  I love different aspects of each season.  I feel so lucky to live just 5 minutes away from this amazing place.  Saturday, Joe and I had a lot of errands to run and a funeral to attend but we had this window […]

It has been a long January and one in which I have not run outside. Cold and dark and the worst news of all is that my running partner, Sue Oldroyd, has a knee that may have her giving up running all together and that is sad news.  Sue and I ran our first marathon […]
