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

I didn't do any exercise at all today.  I had to be to work at 6am.  After work I went straight to my sister's house for our sister's lunch.  After that I went visiting teaching and then made my husband dinner.  I was so tired by then I just relaxed the rest of the night.

I met the BBK's at the church on 124th off 13th West for the early miles.  It wasn't as cold as last week and most of the snow was melted.  We ran down the hill to the parkway trail and started down the trail.  At little way down the trail they were doing work so we turned around and got off the trail in the neighborhood and jogged back to the church and out to 13th west.  I was feeling even more tire than usual probably because I donated blood 2 weeks ago.  After the early miles we met the group and ran down tithing hill to the trail again and then through the parking lot to the other subdivision and up towards the roller coaster hills.  Aaron, Jeff and I had to leave early so we turned around after the first hill and headed back.    After work and a short nap I did my leg weight exercises along with stomach exercises and 70 mens pushups.

Wednesday I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes.  I was too busy and lazy to swim so I guess Saturday will be my only swim day.

Met the BBK's at the church off 106th and 40th west for the early miles.  Mike, Cheris, Michelle and I were the only ones there for the early miles.  I had a nice visit with them but was tired by the time we went the 3 miles.  When the rest of the group came we ran south on 40th west.  We were doing a 3 mile out and back but I could only do 1 1/2.  I was hoping to hit the turn around before the big hill since I was already tired but no such luck.  The turn around was at the bottom of the hill almost to 114th.  I turned around and headed back up the big hill.  I was very tired but made it to the top without walking. I was sure glad to have Duke pulling me along.  After work I did my arm weight exercises.
