Running Accomplishments:

I've been running for the past 25 years.  I ran my first marathon at age 50 and have run 3 since then.  I run 5K's, 10K's and half-marathons.   I ran the Ogden Marathon in 2006 and finished in 4:35.  I won Thrid Place in my age group.

Three of my daughters and I ran the Ogden Half Marathon.  They did great and I was glad to just finish.  I ran the Riverton 1/2 marathon the end of March and pulled my hamstring and then got bursitis so I wasn't able to train as much as I wanted to.

I have slowed down a lot the past 10 years so my goal now is to keep running slow and steady until I die.  I also ride bikes and am as fast as my daughters.

We have now switched from Marathons to 1/2 marathons and Triathlons.  Last year Leslie and I did the Desert Sharks Triathlon and Daybreak.  I won first in my age group in both because there are not many people in my age group.

2010  Riverton Half Marathon 3rd in age group

Daybreak Triahtlon 2010 1st in age group

South Jordan Half Marathon 2010 1st in my age group

Riverton 10K 2010 1st in my age group

Vikingman Triathlon September 10 2010  Won 1st in my age because I was the only one in my age group

March 2011 Riverton 1/2 Marathon 1st in my age group and there were actually 6 people in my age group.

 

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

My daughters and I are starting to train for Triathlons, but would still like to run 2 half-marathons and 5K's and 10K's

This morning at 5am I walked a mile with my son and Duke.  Then I came home, ate breakfast and left to go help with the registration for the Riverton 10K.  There were a lot of people from our running group helping.  It was slow until 6:30 and then everyone started to come.  At five minutes to 7 I ran and took a bathroom break and got back in time for the start of the race.  I went slow and steady and felt pretty good.  I visited with a lot of people along the way.  About half way through I started feeling very hot.  At the water stop I dumped water over my head.  I kept going slow and steady and if someone tried to pass me I would make sure they weren't older than me.  I made it to the end 1 minute faster than last year and I wasn't quite as dead either.  I hurried and ate a bagel and then hurried home so Ben and I could go to our storage auction and then to Leslie's piano recital.
