| Location: South Jordan,Ut,USA Member Since: Jan 11, 2009 Gender: Female Goal Type: 5 K Finish 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

Then we took the frontage road past IKEA and then past the prison. We rode south from there and then took 3600 west back to 118th and then to Redwood road and home. We went 22 miles. Shannon rides slower than I do but I was glad to have someone to ride with. I had a good time and got lots of exercise. | | Add Comment |

We rode to the prison, through Bluffdale, back to South Jordan then to Daybreak then past the lake, down to 40th west and then north to 98th, east to 2200 then south to 118th and then west to Redwood Road and home. It was a nice ride and the weather was beautiful. Then I changed my clothes and headed to Leslie's house. I helped her fill the dumpster and then came home at took a nap. After my nap I went back and helped her paint her house. Boy am I glad we are done. I have been helped every night for the past week. | | Comments(1) |

Then we ran south on the parkway past 106th and then turned around and headed back. Then I had to leave because I had to be to work at 6. It was fun to run with the BBK's again. My foot felt pretty good. | | Add Comment |

| | Duke and I went early to meet the BBK's at the Riverfront park so we could run a mile before they got there. Then I ran 2 miles with them before I had to be to work at 6. After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups. Just taking a week off from pushups makes them so much harder. I did 50, took a 30 second bread and then could only do 25 more. | | Add Comment |
| | This morning I rode bikes with Shannon. We went 40 miles. We started on Redwood Road and 114th and rode north to 98th and then east to 13th west and then south to 126th. Then we went east to the frontage road by the freeway and went past IKEA and then across the road to the prison, went around the prison and then west to Bluffdale. When we got to Redwood Road we went south past Camp Williams and continued South past the Lehi cross roads and continued until we got to a road the went west to Eagle Mountain. We turned north before we got to the big hill and then went north until we got to the road that takes you to Cedar Fort and then headed east back to the Lehi crossroads and then north on Redwood to 114th. It was a good ride. I wasn't too tired because I went a little slower for Shannon because she is not in as good of shape as I am. Then I spent the rest of the Day with my 8 grandkids that are spending the weekend. We went on a 3 mile walk down to the fish ponds and then around to the play ground and back. | | Add Comment |
