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 slept at Leslie's to take care of the triplets in the night.  In the morning after we fed them Christine came over and we put them in the strollers and went running with them.  Christine pushed the double stroller, Leslie pushed the singele stroller and I just ran.  I was able to stay up with them since they were pushing strollers.  After about 1.5 miles we had to walk the rest of the way because Leslie's knee started to hurt a little bit.  It has been hurting since the Riverton 10K so she has been taking it easy.

I rode my bike to Christine's house and we did our usual course from her house on 2700 out to 134th and then up to 3600 and north to 114th and then east to redwood where I went home and she went back to her house.  It was a good ride and I was glad to have someone to talk to.

I ran a half a mile with Duke and then I met the group at the Park by lifetime fitness.  We ran south to the street that goes up by the church and up the hill to lampton view dr.  Then we ran south up the big hill to the Tithing Hill condos.  Then I turned around and headed back.  The rest the group ran down tithing hill but they still beat me back to the cars.  It was a good run.  Next week I will be gone to Hawaii with my son so the only exercise I will get is snorkeling and hiking.
