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

Long-Term Running Goals:

Personal:

Total Distance
7.50

I walked at 4:45 with Ben and then when we got back I met the BBK's at Riverton High.  I didn't get there for the early miles but I was few minutes early and so was Carissa so we ran down 27th almost to the light and turned around and headed back where we met the others turning into the parking lot.  We ran around the parking lot and then picked up the others.  They were doing a 1 mile warmup before going to the track.  Debbie didn't want to run on the track and neither did I so we just continued on north and ran to 112th South and then turned around.  When we were almost back Kris Bullock caught up with us.  Then we ran through the neighborhood across from the school and then back to the school.  It was a good run and I enjoyed visiting with Debbie and Kris.

This afternoon I did my arm weight exercises.  It's the first time I have been able to do them since I had my hand surgery.  It didn't hurt much and I was glad to get the exercise.

I probably should've joined you ladies today! Sounds like a great group. Thanks for the encouragement on the tri, coming from you it really means a lot. You are a tri expert!
