11 more weeks to go


Another week has gone by. I have been working on my paper(s) involving near infrared light and nitric oxide. It is coming together and I am very excited! Monday I ran 5 miles, Tuesday 5 miles, Wednesday 45 minutes on the bike, Thursday 6.5 miles and today (Saturday) almost 16 miles! We should make our training goal by the time the St. George marathon comes. In less than 3 months Wulli, Bill and I will be on our way back to Diamond valley, where the hottub is waiting. 11 weeks... Bill has lost quite a bit of weight and he is enjoying running more. He is too fast for me, we don't run together any more. So long!

12 more weeks to go



Today Bill and I ran 13 miles in the warmth of a July morning. We got a late start (6:50 am) and it was a warm morning. We ran to Geneva road, took the Provo River trail to the Marriott, up to Canyon road to Timpview high school, passed the temple, down 9th East, turned west at the cemetery to Freedom boulevard and home from there. We got home just around 9 am.
12 WEEKS TO GO!
Last week end (through Tuesday morning) we spent in Park City. Bill and I ran the Prospector (7.5 miles) on Saturday and Monday morning, and on Sunday we managed to run 12 miles on the McLeod trail and rail trail. It was so nice and cool, crisp and clean air and somehow I had so much energy there. On Saturday the kids and we hiked from Deer Valley up to the top of the mountain via Ontario trail. It was super cold that day (at least it felt very cold for what we were wearing) and we shivered all the way down while on the ski lifts. On Sunday we hiked up to the Pine lodge from the Canyons. Hanna loved that trail and said she cannot wait until we will hike it again in August (true story!). Grandpa and Grandma Bonnie came for two days and brought Hallie and Micah. Together we walked parts of the McLeod trail with a nice lunch rest at the play ground. We had such a wonderful time together! But life has us back now and the daily duties continue :-( . Hanna will go to a volleyball camp starting Monday through Thursday evening at BYU. I hope she will learn much and enjoy the activities. So long!
