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 went on a 1 mile walk with my son.  Then I came home ate breakfast and did some cleaning before I called Leslie to wake her up.  Then Duke, Leslie and I did a 3.5 mile run.  This time we just went straight north on 40th west instead of running up the hill.  Duke was very excited when we started out and went very fast, but he got hot on the way back and slowed down.  It was a good workout.

This morning at 4:45 I walked a mile with Ben and Duke and then I met the group at Riverton for the early Miles.  We did our usual course and then met the others for a mile warmup and then did speed work.  When we do speed work I don't run too fast but I try to do a mile under 11 minutes.  I did each mile in 10:39 and then did 1 lap walking.  With the walking I did 3 and a half miles on the track.  Then we ran out to the road to do a mile warm down.  It was nice to see Rachel and Michelle N at the group today.

Ben, Duke and I walked a mile and then I went to the temple.  After I got back I did indexing and then cleaning.  After lunch and a nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 50 pushups.

I walked a mile with Duke and Ben and 5am this morning.  Then I had breakfast, cleaned the kitchen and called and woke Leslie up.  We were going to run our usual Day break 6 mile course but Leslie was on call for work and after we ran up 106th and got to Daybreak she got a call and had to go into work, so we turned around and headed back.  We ended up going 3.5 miles but I didn't mind cutting the run short because I didn't sleep well last night.  Glen, Bridget and her kids are coming to visit this afternoon and I am excited to see them.

At 5am I walked a mile with Duke and my son and then I came home and ate breakfast, did my indexing and did some cleaning.  Then I called and woke Leslie up and we rode our bikes on our short 8 mile course.  I would like to ride farther sometime but Leslie doesn't get up early enough.  It was a nice ride up through daybreak.  I count my walking and biking miles together since I don't know how to separate them.

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.
