| 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

| | After breakfast I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups. Then I cleaned and went visiting teaching. Then I rode my bike on my 6 mile course. I must be getting a little faster because I did it in just over 21 minutes. Then I weeded for a couple of hours. It sure is nice to be off work and get a few things done. | | Add Comment |
| | Met the group at Riverton High for the regular miles. There were 4 guys and 2 girls. It rained the whole time but we still ran. We did a loop through the subdivision and then ran up and down the street by the seminary. I got a good workout but was soaking wet. | | Add Comment |

| | Met the group at Country Crossing. I went to the early miles. There was a guy there that I didn't recognize but I talked him and he was not from the group but was doing sprints. I ran out to 114th and then up to daybreak and then back and then up and down the road until the others came. Then we ran around the subdivision and then out to 114th and then up to daybreak again and then I had to leave.

| | Leslie and I ran down to Run Gr8 for the run. We did the usual 5 mile course. Leslie went ahead and then I met up with a girl from my ward. She was going slow so she ran with me most of the way. She was recovering from and injury. Leslie came back when I got to Riverton Park so Amy ran ahead. Wow 5 miles even makes me tired. We walked back to Leslie's afterwards. | | Comments(1) |

| | I didn't have to be to work until 7 so I ran my usual 3 mile route before work. After work and a short nap I rode my bike on my 6 mile course. It too 22.30 minutes. The wind was blowing from the north so I got a good workout. | | Comments(1) |
| | I met the group at Riverton Park. I didn't go to the early miles but I got there about 5 minutes early. It was raining so I just waited in the Car. Rachel was waiting in her car too but Kris was running in the rain. When it was time for the run to start the rain stopped. Rachel and I jogged out to the street and then Cheris came so we went back for her and Kris got back from running in the rain. We all headed out to 13 west and then south. The group got so far ahead that I wasn't sure if they turned or went straight. I went straight for 18 minutes and then turned around and headed back. I was getting very hot because I wore my warm stuff and since it wasn't raining I was hot instead of cold.

| | Leslie, Christine, Bridget and I all met at Run Gr8 for the morning run. Leslie and I ran down from her house. Bridget brought her baby jogger with her two kids. We only went 3 today because we had to be home by 9 cuz Leslie and my husband Kent were going to get the new Bees. I helped Bridget push the jogger. I pushed at least half of the time. Even though I only went 3.5 instead of 5 miles I got a very good workout pushing the jogger.

| | I met the group at Riverton High for the early miles. I got there about 10 minutes early and started out on the regular course through the subdivision. When I got back to the school I saw Mike and Peggy's car so I turned around and headed back and met them at the light on 126th. Then we ran through the subdivision on the east side and then back to the school. I got a good workout and then hurried home because I had to be to work at 6am. | | Add Comment |

| | I was a few minutes late for the early miles and the group was just leaving when I pulled up. I knew the course so I started out. Kris came back to get me and then we headed out. Of course I was way behind but I got back to the church before the others left on the regular run. I had to head home so I could get to work at 6 again. | | Add Comment |
| | Leslie and I went to the Run Gr8 run this morning. We were doing a new 5 mile route. I started early and went slow and steady. Leslie caught up with me right at the end. Then we went back to Leslie's and rode bikes. We were going to do a longer ride but Leslie started feeling very tired and then she remembered she had not eaten anything. After lunch I went to Christine's new house and helped rip out carpet. | | Comments(1) |
| | After work I took a short nap and then I weeded for a couple of hours. Then I made dinner and rode my bike over to Leslie's and then we rode the big block. Leslie is a fast running but a slow biker. She thinks biking is very hard and I think it is very easy. I appreciate her biking with me even if I have to go slow for her. I did ride fast on my way to her house. | | Add Comment |
| | The group was meeting too far from me today because I had to be to work a 6am so I ran down to redwood and then north to 106th. When I was almost to Wingate I noticed a van going slow past me and then it stopped on the road by Wingate so I turned around and headed back home. Better to be safe than sorry. | | Add Comment |
