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 met the group at the church on 114th and 3400 west.  I was the only one for early miles so I ran east on 114th to 2200 and then back past the church and then back and forth until the others got there.  For our regular miles we ran through the subdivision and out to 3200.  Then ran through the subdivision but I kept going north to 106th and then turned around and headed back.

I did not get up early enough for the early miles with the group but I did get there in time to run 1 mile.  Peggy was there and was already gone but I saw her turn into the templeview subdivision so I followed and caught up with her.  We ran through the subdivision and back to Bingham.  She hurt foot the day before so she decided to leave when we got back to Bingham.  When the others got there we ran to 2200 and then south to Canterwood.  Then we ran west to 2700 and then north to rustic roads.  By the time I got to rustic roads and headed down the others were headed back up.  After I got back down to 2200 I headed back to Bingham and home to get ready for work.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I met the group at the trailhead on 98th.  I was the only one for the early miles so I ran from there up to the temple and back and then part way up again.  For the regular miles we ran south along the trail and then north.  Then I had to leave.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I rode my bike on a new course.  I am not positive how far is was but it took 10 minutes longer than my  10 mile course.  I got a good workout.

I did my usual 5 miles with RUNGR8 and then I came home and cleaned up and did some house work.  Then I rode my bike to Bluffdale to follow two of my daughters that were running the Riverton Half Marathon.  I spotted one daughter just before the S curve and she said Leslie was a little farthur back.  I rode clear to Bluffdale and did not see her.  I called her and she said she had just passed mile 11.  I rode back the other direciton and found her and then went ahead to watch Christine finish.  She just finished after I got there so I rode back and rode in with Leslie.  Then I rode home and took my other daughter to lunch for her Birthday.

I rode my bike from my house east to 13th west and then south to 144th.  Then I went west to 3600 and then north to 118th and east to redwood and back home on redwood.  It was a good ride.  I reall need to start going on longer bike rides to I can get ready for the Goldilocks ride.  I plan on riding 100.

I met the group at the park by Lifetime Fitness for the early miles.  I was the first one there cuz I was early.   I ran south to 114th and then back to the park.  Then I ran back to 114th and back again.  On my way back I saw Peggy and Kris.  When I got bback to the park Peggy and I just ran around the park until the others got there.  When the others got there I got a call from my husband saying I had to be to work earyl.  I visited for a few minutes and then headed home.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups..
