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

Riverton 1/2 Marathon  3rd in age

Long-Term Running Goals:

Personal:

I went to the RUNGR8 run and did the 5 mile run.  My right leg was really dragging today so I was very slow.

I met the group at the park across from Lifetime Fitness.  I was the only one there for the early miles so I ran south to 114th and back twice.  When the others got there we ran to the big hill on Parkway Palisades and ran up and down.  I ran up and down 3 times which is 3 miles.

I got to the run at 5am so I did the 3 mile course.  Then when the others got there they were doing the same course.  I ran south with them but when they turned in the subdivision I kept going to 114th and then turned around and headed back.  I really needed the run today.

Met the group at the church by the Jordan River Temple.  I was the only one there for the early miles.  I ran south to 106th and then west to redwood and then back past the temple.  Then I ran north to 98th and then turned west and ran to Peggy's street.  Then I turned around and headed back to the temple and kept going south to Y worry lane and then turned around and headed back again.  When I got back Peggy just got there and we ran around the parking lot while we waited for the others to get there.  When the others got there we ran south to 106th and then east.  I turned north on 10th west and ran throught he subdivision and then headed back so I could get to work.  It was a good run.

The group met at Bingham High and I was the only one there for the early miles.  I ran out to 2200 and then north to 98th and then west to 2700 and then turned around and headed back to Bingham.  When the others got there we did the loop through templeview and bonanza and then the subdivision east of bonanza and then to the back parking lot of Bingham.  Then they were doing the same course and second time but I only had time to do the loop thourgh templeview.

Met the group at the Golds Gym express.  I was the only one there for the early miles so I ran west to 40th west and then south to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and then back.  When the others got there I did the same route again and then had to leave to get ready for work.

Met the group at Riverton High for the early miles.  I was the only one there for the early miles so I ran the loop through the subdivision.  When the others got there we headed back through the subdivision but instead of doing the loop we turned north on 3200.  I ran to almost 114th and then turned around and headed back so I could get to work by 7am.
