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

Personal:

I was finally able to run outside.  I ran my usual course and going south the wind was blowing so it was very cold.  I turned around a little early because of the cold wind and also because I have a cold.  Going north it didn't feel cold.  I am so glad to finally be able to run outside after a week of no running.

I had the day off of work and I finally felt good enough to exercise.  Duke and I did our usual 3 mile course.  I got a few cough attacks but I made it.  It was so nice to be able to run outside.  The weather was perfect.  It was cool and a few sprinkles.

I have been sick all week.  Today I felt a little better and was able to walk up and down the stairs several times before I had to rest.  I hope by Saturday I will feel good enough to run.

This is the first time I can remember that I went the whole week without any exercise.  I've had a bad sinus infection and I was lucky to make it from my bed to the kitchen table and back.  I have Monday off for presidents day so I am hoping I feel good enough by then to run.

Our group finally met for the first time since Christmas Eve.  We met at the park at the bottom of Tithing Hill and ran along the trail.  It was beautiful weather and so nice to run outside.  It was also nice to see the other group members.
