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

Personal:

After work and a short nap I rode my bike on my 6 mile course.  It took me just over 21 minutes.

I met the group at Riverton High, but since they are all running SGM I was the only one there.  Duke and I did our usual course twice and then we came home and I went to work.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

After work and short nap I rode my bike on my usual 6 mile course.  Going north the wind was blowing so hard I felt like I was pedaling hard just to stay even.  It took me over 23 minutes today but I think I got a better workout.

The running group wasn't meeting and Duke had a sore leg so I didn't run before work.  After work I was too lazy.

Leslie and I ran the South Jordan Marathon course again.  I noticed when I was running that I really didn't enjoy running that far. We had to walk a few times and I wasn't any faster than last week, but I made it to the end.  I think this half may be my last.

I met the with group this morning and it was very nice to run with them again.  I haven't run with them for a couple of weeks.  Duke and I were at the back, but the group circled back a couple to times to get us.  Duke and I just did the 3 mile loop and then we headed home.  I'm off work for a couple of days but I am running the SOJO half on Saturday so I only wanted to run 3 today.

I rode my bike on my 6 mile course.  For some reason it was very hard and it took me 25 minutes.  Maybe my tires need some air.  After I got back, Duke, Ben and I went on a 1 mile brisk walk.(Duke does not walk slow).  I hope I am ready for my Half Marathon tomorrow.

I ran the South Jordan Half Marathon.  I ran slow and steady and walked through every aid station.   The last two miles I kept getting cramps in my calf so I had to stop and stretch.  I think this will my last half marathon, I am not enjoying them as much as I used to.

I used the spin bike for 20 minutes.  It is going to be hard to get used to using it instead of biking outside.

For some reason I have tendonitis in my left foot.  I didn't run much this week and my foot didn't start hurting until Friday after my nap.  Now it is stiff and hurts whenever I rest for a while.  Leslie, Duke and I ran 3 miles.  We ran the block around Riverton High.

I had to be to work at 6am so I went early to Bingham for the early miles.  Kris was already there and out running.  Duke and I ran down 2200 almost to the light on 98th and then turned around and headed back to Bingham.  Kris was there, but now one else came so we headed back out to 2200 and then did the loop through the subdivision.  Then we came back and the others were there for the later miles, but I had to leave to get to work.
