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

Met the group at Mike and Peggy's for the early miles.  I started out before them and turned the wrong way.  Then I turned back and went the other way.  I finally saw them coming back and turned around.  They passed me up and I kept going and made it back before the other group started out again.  We started the same direction but went out to 13th west and then south to Chavez and down Chavez to the bottom of the hill to regroup.  That was the mile mark and I ran with them until the next street north and then headed back. Scott headed back too but he was ahead of me.  I made it back to the car and was very tired but glad I ran.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises.  I did 25 pushups also before my shoulder started hurting so I decided that was good for now.

Met the group at Riverfront Park for the early miles.  I started off before the others.  We ran south passed 114th and turned west on the last road and ran up the hill to Lampton.  Then we ran straight on Lampton until we had run for 15 minutes.  The others passed me before I got to 114th.  It was very cold, 18 degrees and I had to keep blowing on my hands for the 1st mile and a half until I warmed up.  I turned around at 15 minutes and made it back just after the others.  We met the rest of the group and did the same run except they kept going and I turned around at the same spot because I had to get to work.  It was a good workout.  I'm glad the roads were dry and clear.

I got up at 6am and went Christmas shopping at Walmart.  Then I came home and cleaned.  At 10am Leslie and I met some of the group at the JR parkway and 9800 for out run.  We ran south for three miles and turned around.  It was a little chilly going south and it was harder to run but when we turned around I got hot and the run was easier.  It was a good run and I was tired at the end.
