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

Since I took the day off of work to take Ben to the Dr. I was able to stay for the whole run.  When I left it had been snowing and there was snow on the ground.  Kent didn't think any of the group would be there.  I was surprised that there were 15 people there.  We had a fun run.

I slept in until 4:45 so I only had time to run 1 mile .  It  had snowed just a little so Duke and I went slow so we didn't slip.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

I met the group for the early miles.  I was the only one there and was about to leave and Michelle showed up.  We started out in the parking lot at Bingham and it was very slippery and foggy so we went out to the road and it was okay.  I had my head light and reflector vest on.  We ran down to 2200 and the north to the first subdivision.  We did the loop and then went back out to 2200.  We saw a runner a little way ahead and ran to catch up to see if it was someone from our group that had come late.  We caught up when the runner turned around and it was Cheris from our group.  We ran through another subdivision and then turned around and headed back to the school.  I was glad to have someone to run with.

After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.  I was able to do 60 pushups and then take a 30 second break and do 25 more.

I met the group at Julie's for the turn.  I wasn't sure where they were running, but I needed to run to Herriman to meet my daughter.  There was a pretty big group.  We ran out to redwood road and they all went east and I turned north and headed to 118th.  I ran up 118th and when I got to 3600 W my daughter called and said she would start running my direction.  I ran under Bangerter and past 40th west and headed up the hill.  When I was almost to the street that turns into my daughters subdivision I saw her heading my way.  It was 20 degrees, so when we met up, I pounded my water bottle on the gutter so I could open it and take a drink.  Then we headed baci down 118th.  It was a lot easier on the way back down.  When we got back to Julie's I hurried and drove Leslie home and got ready for our Ward Christmas breakfast.  Then I went Christmas shopping, cleaned the house and got ready for my family Christmas party.  I had my brothers and sisters over for a Christmas party.
