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

Daybreak Triathlon 1st in age

Long-Term Running Goals:

Personal:

I'm married, have 8 kids (7 daughters and one son) and 28 grandkids. I have a great supportive husband.  The grandsons and grand daughters are now tied at 14.  I have 2 grand daughters married and one going on a mission to Australia.

Today as I ran I thought of my sweet Duke and how much I loved him and miss him.  He loved running even more than I did.  I am so grateful that I had him for almost 10 years.  He was the most handsome dog I ever knew and had the sweetest personality.  I know he is happy now running with a healthy body.

I rode bike with Christine.  We did our usual 12 mile ride.  I only gave her a 45 second lead at the top of the hill on 114th.  I caught her at redwood road.

I met the group at the church on 98th and 2200.  Only Peggy and Cheris were there.  I talked to them before they started and then saw them at the end.

I ran by myself today and did the 3.25 mile block.  I am learning to run without Duke but I sure do miss him.  I am grateful for the almost 10 years I had with him.

I rode my bike on my 12 mile course.  That night  Christine and  I went swimming at the South County Pool.  We decided we better start training for the swim part of our Triathamom.  Neither of us really like swimming but we made it 4 laps with a rest after each lap.

I met the group at West River Front Park.  I was able to stay the whole time so I went 4.5 miles.  After I came home and ate breakfast I did my Leg Weight/Stomach exercises along with pushups.

I met the group at the park across from Life Time Fitness.  We ran along the parkway and I was able to make it 3.4 before I had to head home and get ready to go to work cleaning lockers.
