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 

2010

Riverton 1/2 Marathon  3rd in age

Long-Term Running Goals:

Personal:

My son Ben and daughter Jenny ran the Riverton 5K while two of my other daughters and my grand daughter ran the Riverton 10K.  It was hot but we all made it to the end.  Ben and I were both 3rd in our age groups.  Then at noon we had a BBQ at my house for our whole family.  All of my kids, son-in-laws and grand kids came up for the weekend for Leslie's triplets baby blessings.  It was a good day.

Duke and I met the group at the church on 9700 and 2200 west.  Only Peggy and Michelle were there.  We ran around through the subdivisions.

I met the group at the park at the bottom of tithing hill.  We ran along a trail and then up and down the hills through the subdivision.  Duke and I were both very tired at the end.

I slept at my daughter Leslie's house so I could take care of the triplets during the night.   This morning she pushed a double jogger and I pushed the single jogger.  We started out running but her knee was still sore from the Riverton 10K so we just walked 2 miles and then I came home and ran a mile with Duke.

My bike had a flat tire so I did not ride it to work.  After I got home and took a nap I rode my bike.  My husband took it to get the tire fixed while I was at work.  He is such a nice husband.

I met the group at the SJ library.  We ran through the subdivison and out to 13th west.  They all ran through the subdivisons and I ran along 13th west and met them at Michelle's street as they were coming out.  Then then went through another subdivision and went to the SJ Cemetary.  I turned around and went north along 13th west to 106th south and then turned east.  I met them as they were coming out of cemetary road.  We then went through the subdivision and they headed south and I turned on the road that leads to the library and headed home.  Today was the last day of cleaning lockers so I will be off until August 17th.  I am excited to have a break.

I ran a half a mile with Duke and then I met the late running group.  We ran from the church up past 2700  and then along the canal road.  It is a lot hotter at that time of day.  I was very hot and tired after the run.

I slept at Leslie's last night and took care of the triplets.  I still got 6 hours of sleep.  I got home at 7:30, ate a quick breakfast and went to Christine's to run with her.  We did the 3.5 mile loop nice and slow.  Leslie's knee has been hurting since she did the Riverton 10K so she is taking a couple weeks off running.

I ran a half a mile with Duke before I went to run group.  For our group we met at Rivrton High.  We did our 2 mile loop through the neighborhood and then I ran 2 miles on the track.  Then we did another short run in the neighborhood.  This is the farthest I've run in about 6 months.

I rode my bike on my 6 mile route.  I ride from my house east to the River Bottom and then then turn south, ride up the hill and then ride through Lampton to Sir Mingo and then out to 13th west and south to 126th then west to Redwood and north to 114th.  It takes me about 23 minutes because I ride as fast as I can.  I get a good workout.

I rode my bike on my 6 mile course.  Then I went with 3 of my daughters and grandkids to Liberty Park.  It was a lot of fun watching all the grandkids play in the little river and the splash pad.
