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 

2010

Riverton 1/2 Marathon  3rd in age

Long-Term Running Goals:

Personal:

I'm married, have 8 kids (7 daughters and one son) and 28 grandkids. I have a great supportive husband.  The grandsons and grand daughters are now tied at 14.  I have 2 grand daughters married and one going on a mission to Australia.

Thursday morning I ran with Duke before work because I didn't have time to meet the group and be to work by 6am.   After work Kent, Ben and I headed for St. George to stay with our friends that live in Kayenta for 3 days.

I ran from Joyce's house up towards the red mountain.  I followed the road up until it curved around and followed it around until I came to a fence, then I turned around and headed back.  Half way back down I met my friend Joyce running up so I turned around and ran back up with her we turned left before we got to the top and circled back to the main street.  I enjoyed running with her.  It was cool but not cold. (32 degrees)  After I showered and got ready to go to the Dinosaur Tracks Museum we saw runners coming down Joyce's street.  We watched for about 25 minutes and all the runners were women.  We looked it up on the internet and it was the Run Like a Girl 5K and 1/2 marathon.  It made me wish I was running in it.  We had a fun time.  Sunday we went to church with them in Gun Lock and after dinner headed home.  We had a nice time but it is always nice to get home.

I used the spin bike for 45 minutes after work and a short nap and then I started my arm weight exercises.  Then I remember that it was one of my granddaughters birthday so I stopped and we went to visit her.  I will have to finish my arm weight exercises tomorrow.

I went early for the early miles and Kris was already there running.  I followed him and ran north on 2700 and when he turned around I did.  Then we came back to the parking lot at Riverton High and ran around the parking lot.  When the others came for the early miles we ran through the subdivision and then back to the parking lot where we picked up Michelle M. and then ran north to the street that goes west past the Riverton Seminary and then went to where the street turns and we turned around and headed back.  The group kept running around the school parking lot but I headed home.  It was a good run.

I went early for the early miles and Duke and I ran out to 13th west and north past two streets and then headed back to the church where the group was meeting.  I ran past the church and around the parking lot.  Mike was there and so was Michelle C.  We started off and ran out to 13th west when we saw Cheris turn into the street to the church.  The others headed back and I said I would keep going and they could catch up with me.  Duke and I ran north past the church and then west over the canal and then south to 126th and then east to 13th west.  The others didn't catch up but when I started north on 13th I saw their head lights and they were coming my direction.  I caught up with them and they turned around and we continued north past the street we parked at and into the next subdivision.  We ran around the loop and then turned around and headed back.  The others were there for the regular miles.  I said Hi and then headed home.  It was a good run and Duke and I enjoyed it.

I didn't run 20 miles, I ran 10 and biked 10.  I do not know how to separate them.  I met the group at Julie's at 7am this morning.  Before the run I took Duke on a short run.  There were about 5 other people at the run.  I started off before the others but it only took a few minutes for them to catch up.  We ran north trough the subdivision and over past 118th and then to 114th where we turned west.  By then I couldn't see the group but I kept a slow and steady course. I  ran west to 3200 west and then south to 126th.  When I was at 118th I called to wake Leslie up.  Then I kept going south to 126th and then east to the street by McDonalds and then on to Julie's house.  No one was there but Carissa's car and one other car was still at Julie's.  Leslie was there now too.  I took off my warm stuff and we headed out.  We went backwards through the subdivision and out to 126th and then west.  Leslie wanted to go 4 miles.  She has a GPS watch so we went west to the street where the house she is buying  is on and turned north until be got to the house.  We stopped for a minute and looked around and then continued on through the subdivision until Leslie's GPS watch said 2 miles and then we turned around and headed back.  It was a good run.  Then I came home, cleaned up and got ready for our Valentines party.  Some of the grandkids and and 5 of my daughters along with Ben and Kent came.  We had lunch and then decorated Valentines cookies.  We also put Valentines in each box.  It was fun to see everyone.  Then I had a nap and got my bike ready to meet a women from my ward to go on a bike ride.  We rode from her house to 13th west and then south to Bluffdale and out to Redwood road and back.  It was a good ride and I had a nice visit with her.

Duke and I went early for the early miles to make sure I could get in 3 miles before I had to be to work at 6am.  We ran up and down the street in front of Mike's house.  Then Mike came out and Walter and Michell C. came.  We started off and then Michelle M came and we slowed down so she could catch up.  We ran through the subdivision and out to redwood and then back through the subdivision and back to Mike's.  Then I had to leave.  It was a good run.

I didn't have time to meet the group before work so I took Duke and ran my route up Redwood Road to 106th and back.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/ stomach exercises.

I ran a quarter of a mile with Duke this morning and then I met the group at Michelle M's house.  We ran the course that goes south on 13th and then east and then north and then east again to the parkway trail going north to 98th.  I didn't see the group when they got on the trail but I didn't want to run the trail alone so I just stayed on the parkway road and ran to 106th and then west to the street by Harmon's.  Then I turned south past the library and then east and back out to 13th west and back to Michelle's.  I cut the run short by about 1.5 miles but I thought the group would be back at any time so I ran up and down the street in front of Michelle's street but didn't see anyone from the group coming so I went home.  Leslie was going to meet me to run another 4 miles but she didn't call so I called her at 8:30 and woke her up.  I decided to let her sleep.  It ended up being a little colder than I thought because of the wind blowing so I was glad to have a hot bath and warm up.

Duke and I went early to meet the group so I could run at least a mile before they came.  We ran from the park to 114th and back and then half way to 114th and back and then Michelle, Cheris and Julie came.  We ran to the street before 114th and then up and around the block and back down and then over and back and then I had to leave to get to work.  It was a lot colder than I thought it was because the wind was blowing.  It took me a couple of miles to warm up because I wore a tank top and shorts.

After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises.  I didn't have time for pushups so I will have to do them on Saturday.

I ran a half a mile with Duke and then came home and cleaned the house before I called Leslie.  I went to run by her house.  She  had a sinus infection and wasn't feeling too good so we decided to just run 4 miles.  We got to the 2 miles point and turned around and then Leslie got a call from work.   She was on call so we had to take a shortcut back.  It was a good run but I would like to have gone farther.  Next Saturday  we plan on running the Riverton Half Marathon course.

I met the group early for the early miles.  Kris was already there jogging and I jogged up to 2200 and out past the back parking lot and to the next street and then turned around and headed back past the other parking lot and down to street and back and then when I got back Kris was back.  We started off and then saw Michelle come so we went back and picked her up.  We then ran back out to 2200 and north to the second neighborhood and through it and then back out to 2200 and then through the next neighborhood and then back to Bingham to meet the others.  I left to go home and get ready for work.
