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

Leslie and I biked 45 miles and then ran/walked for 5 miles.  We did our usual Goldilocks trail down 40th to 3600 and south to 144th and then past camp williams and then back along the frontage road.  We came back through Bluffdale and then up 118th to highway 111 and then north to 7800 and then back to 40th and then back to Leslie's.   We took a potty break and refilled our ice water and started on our run.  We did our Day Break 6 mile run.  It was very hot and muggy.  Half way up the hill on 106th I had to walk.  We ran again when we got to Oquirrih Lake Drive.  Part way around the Lake I had to walk again.  I was feeling very tired and hot.  We ran again for a while and then I had to walk again.  By the time we got around to the other side of the Lake I was feeling so tired I could barely walk.  We decided to shorten our run and cut through the temple parking lot.  We walked back to Leslie's and I sat down and drank ice water and gator aid.  I have never felt so dead.  I could barely move.  I came home took a bath and a short rest and then my husband and I headed up to Ogden to help our daughter move.  After we were finished helping her move we came home and went to Red Robyn with Ben, Becca, Leslie, Ralphy and her kids.  The food was good but I got very full.  I am really feeling tired now and will probably go to bed soon.

WOW! That is a LONG ride! Then to run afterward, you'll be ready for an ironman soon!

You rode over 2 counties and then run afterwards! WOW!!! I'm tired just reading about it! And then you went to Ogden to help your daughter move! You're one energetic granny! Glad you had a good meal to refuel the body! :)
