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 rode my bike to Leslie's to tend triplets.  We took them on a 1 mile ride in their wagon.  Then I rode my bike home.

I only ran 4 miles today instead of 6 because Duke had a sore leg and I had a lot of things to do.

I took the day off work so I could pack boxes so I went to the 8am run group. It was good to see the others.  I ran 4 while they ran 6-7.

I ran the Hawthorne 5K with my son-in-law and grand kids.  They all beat me except Anna who ran fast and then got tired and turned around after going only half way.  Running sure gets me tired.

It looked stormy after work so I drove to Leslie's instead of ride my bike.  After dinner I used the exercise bike for 30 minutes.

I had a lot of packing and cleaning to do since we are moving in 2 weeks so I only ran 4 mile Duke.  I ran the 4 mile Riverton block.  When I got around to 13th west I saw Peggy going south as I was going north.  She stopped and we talked for a few minutes.  It was good to see her.
