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 able to run with my run group this morning.  We met across from Life Time Fitness and ran north on the parkway trail.  They were going 10 but Duke and I only did 5.  This was only the second time in a year that I have gone 5 miles.  I am going to try to work up to 6 so I can do the Riverton 10k in July.  Now I am going to do my arm weight exercises.

I slept at my youngest daughters and tended my 3 grandkids for the weekend.  The only exercise I got was playing hide and seek with them.

I met the running group at the trailhead in Riverton.  We ran south and then north.  I went 6 miles with Duke.  It was a good run.

I was off work today so I met the group at the trail at the bottom of tithing hill.  We ran along the trail going north and then back south.  It was a good run.

I rode my bike around the block.  I did not realize how cold it was and my hands and ears were frozen by the time I got back and it only took me 15 minutes.

Duke had a sore leg so I ran at 7:15 by myself.  I did the 6 mile course that I used to run with my daughters when they were training for cross country.  It was a good run.  Then I got ready for our Easter Party.  My daughter from Idaho and her husband and 6 kids have been staying with us since Thursday.  It has been a lot of fun, but noisy and messy.

I wanted to run today but when I got up it was raining hard and quickly turned to snow so I used the exercise bike for 30 minutes and now I am going to do my arm weight exercises.  It has been so nice to have work off for a few days.
