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

I met the group at RHS for the early miles. I ran the usual course through the subdivision and then when I got back to the school I ran along 27th south to 126th and then up a few blocks and then turned around and went back.  When I got back the others were there for the regular miles and I said Hi before I left.  I have to be to work at 6am the rest of the year because my boss's husband is int he hospital so she won't be back until next school year.

My daughter Jenny was here from Idaho so she came with Bridget, Leslie and I to the Gr8 run.  We all had a lot of things to do and Bridget had her two kids in the double jogger so we decided to just go three miles.  Bridget wasn't feeling up to par so I pushed the jogger most of the way.  We got a good workout.  Then Leslie and I rode our bikes on an 8 miles course finishing at my house so Leslie could help her Dad(my husband Kent) check their beehives.  Leslie is learning how to take care of them and will eventually take the hives to her house.

I went early to running group and started out north on 13th west and through the subdivision past the church.  Then out to 126th and back to the other church where I parked.  Then I ran back out to 13th west and south to 126th and back and then I saw Peggy for a minute before I left to head home.

I did not do any exercise at all.  After work two of my daughters came to visit and then I went to my daughters house in West Valley to babysit.  When I got home I ate dinner and then went to my ARP meeting. (my husband and I are church service missionaries)

I met the group at Bingham for the early miles.  No one else was there so I ran down to 2200 and then north past the school and then on my way back I saw Kris.  I then went east to redwood and north to 98th and then back to the school.  I talked to a Peggy and Debbie and then had to leave.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.  Then I made dinner and rode my bike.  Then I went to my daughters new house and helped clean and start moving in boxex.

I rode my bike to Leslie's and then we went to the Run Gr8 run and ran 3 miles.  Then I rode my bike back home, changed my clothes and headed to Christine's to help her move.  I must have gone up and down stairs carrying boxes a hundred times.  Now I am very tired.

I  met the group at the church in daybreak.  I was the only one there at first so I ran out to 114th and then up 114th to the bridge and then turned around and headed back.  When I got back Peggy was there so I ran with her for another 10 minutes and then headed home.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I did the Goldilocks Bike ride.  I was going to go 60 but the weather was very bad.  Right when I started out it started pouring.  I rode from Butter field park out to the Mountain View Corridor and then north to 90th.  I passed a few people and one girl caught back up with me a couple of time at the lights.  I wasn't sure where I was suppose to go after I got to 90th, so I headed east and never saw a sign to turn so I kept going to redwood and then I turned south.  It poured the whole time and I was frozen and soaked so when I got to 114th on redwood I turned and went home.  That was by far the worst bike ride I have ever had.  I took a hot bath and then my; husband drove me back to get the car and my lunch.

I rode bikes with my son down to his work at the district.  Then I rode back home.  I really got a good workout on the way there because it was all up hill. On the was back I mostly coasted.

I had to be to work at 6 so instead of meeting the group I just went running at 4:45 and ran from my house to redwood and then north to 106th and back.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.  Then I spent several hours weeding.

My husband  and I drove to Oakley Idaho after work on Friday.  We are taking my daughter and her husband to the Twin Falls temple and then to lunch on Saturday.  We started doing this with each of our married children.  After the first two my husband got a knee infection and had to have an operation so be took 4 months off but we are now on track.  Friday night we visited my daughter, her husband and kids and then Saturday morning she and I got up at 5:30 to run.  She went slow for me and we had a very nice visit.  Then we cleaned up and went to the Twin Falls temple.  It is small but very beautiful.  Then we went to Panda Express for lunch.

I rode my bike to Leslie's and then she, Chrissy and I ran.  I took a longer course on my bike so that I could get more miles.  While we were running we saw Lisa Dudley and her daughter running so we stopped and talked to them.  A little while later we saw my son-in-law Glen's brother running so we stopped and talked to him for a minute.  It was a good run and I didn't get too tired because we stopped twice and visited people.  Now I am getting ready for my family to come to a BBQ at my house.

I did not run this morning because I have a large blister on my big toe.  After work and a short nap I rode my bike.  I went from my house east to 13th west and then south to 144th and then west to redwood and then north to 114th.  It was a good ride.
