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 

2010

Riverton 1/2 Marathon  3rd in age

I had to be to my grandsons baptism in Tooele at 8:30 am so I did not run.  After we got back I took a short nap and then weeded for an hour and a half.  Then I went on a bike ride.  I rode east from my house to 13th west and then south to 126th and then west to 3600 west.  Then I went to the district to pick up my son who rode his bike to work.  We then rode out to 114th and then east past redwood and home.  It was a good ride.

I went on a bike ride with my son Ben.  He is a very fast biker and I really had to push hard to keep up.  I really got a good workout.   Then after a short nap we(Ben, Kent and I) went to see Ephriam's Resue.  It was very good.

I met the group for the regular miles at Riverton High School.  We did a 2 mile loop through the subdivision and then ran on the track. They were all doing 400's but I just did a slow and steady 3 mile run around the track.

I didn't do any exercise.  I had to be to Valley High at 7 to help with registration.  I stayed until 3 and then I went home, made dinner, cleaned and went to get groceries.  After that I was too tired to exercise.

I met the group at Bingham High.  We did our usual warmup through temple view and Bonanza and then went back out to 2200 and then south to Rustic Roads.  The group went south on 2700 and I went back down and then headed south on 2200 until I saw the group just before the equestrian park.  Then we went north until we got back to rustic road and then up again.  I turned around before the hill and headed back.  I was very tired.  Then I cleaned and got packed up for our family outing.

I met the group at the Riverfront Park for the early miles.  I was the only one early so I ran south to 114th and then back and then south again to 114th and back and then the rest of the group got there.  We ran on the parkway trail.  They did tempo repeats and I just did a slow and steady jog.  I was very tired.  I left at 6:30 because I had to be to work at 7.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

My sisters and I went to my sisters Cabin in Heber.  We slept over on Thursday night and on Friday After breakfast we ran/walked up and down the hills by her cabin.  I got a good workout.  Then We went to the lake and had fun floating around and swimming.  It is a good thing I did some exercise because we always eat a lot and have a ton of fun.

Met the group at Riverfront Park for the early miles.  I was a few minutes early so I started off going south to 114th.  When I turned around to head back I saw the others running towards me.  I turned back around and we headed south on the parkway trail.  Then we turned around and headed north.  Then we went back to the park to pick up the others for the regular miles.  We headed north on the trail again and A turned around after about 20 minutes and headed back because I had to be to work at 7.

I met my youngest daughter Bridget at Riverton Park this morning at 5:30 so we could run the Riverton 10K course.  This is the first time she has done a 10K and her goal is to beat me.  My goal is to make it to the end.  We stayed together the whole was except the last 100 yards.  It was a too good run and I was glad to have someone to visit with while I ran.
