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

Riverton 1/2 Marathon  3rd in age

I was very nice weather today so after work and a short nap I rode my bike on my 12 mile course.  It was such good weather that was able to do the 12 miles in 56 minutes.

Before work I ran 3 miles without Duke because he had a sore leg.  When I got home my husband said that Duke stood at the window the whole time I was gone and howled.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I rode my bike on my 6 mile route.  It had a good hill and I rode fast the rest of the way so I got a good workout.

I started running with Duke but after I had run about a half a block I noticed that we was slightly limping so I went back home and used th elliptical.  Duke slightly hurt his leg on Saturday so I did not take him running on Tuesday morning.  He stood at the window and howled while I was gone running.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

My daughter from Vernal was here visiting so she and my grand daughter came with me to the RUNGR8 run.  Two of my other daughters met us there.  My daughter from Vernal was a little faster than me but I had more endurance so each time she stopped to walk I caught up.  I beat her at the end by about 20 feet.  My granddaughter ran ahead and then turned around and came back every block.  She could have beaten all of us by a mile.  It was a good run.  Later that day we had our family Halloween Party at my daugher Leslie's house.  It was a lot of fun.  All the kids and grandkids were there.

My son Ben  and I went to San Diego for Fall break.  We walked from our Hotel in La Jolla down to the cove and back.  After we snorkeled we cleaned up and drove to Old Town San Diego and walked around.  Then we went to Balboa Park and walked around.  We had a lot of fun and got a lot of exercise.

We got up bright and early and Drove to Sea World from La Jolla.  We walked around for 5 hours and saw lots of neat stuff.  Then we drove back to our hotel.  After we rested for about an hour we walked around La Jolla for about an hour looking at all the shops and sights.  Then when it was dark we drove up to the temple and took pictures.  It was very beautiful.

This morning we woke up and then went to a Swap Meet.  We walked around for a couple of hours and bought a few things.  Then we Drove to Cabrillo National Monument and hiked around by the tide pools and then drove up to the Light House and took the hike from the parking lot.  It was a lot of fun and a beautiful view.  We were able to see and Air Craft Carrier as it went by in the Ocean.  It was a lot of fun.  Then we drove to the airport and came home.  I now have a blister on my foot.

The group was meeting at the SJ Soccer Fields.  I had to be to work at 6am so Duke and I ran at 5 am.  We ran from our house west on 114th to 2200 and then north past the Equestrian Park and turned east and ran past the soccer fields.  Then we kept going past the fitness center and out to redwood.  Then we ran south to 114th and then east home.  We did not see any of the group.

Duke and I ran from our house east on 114th to the River Bottoms and then north to the River Front Park.  The group was meeting there but no one came to the early miles.  I had to be to work at 6 am so I ran at 5.  It was a good run and we both enjoyed it.

I ran the RUNGR8 3 mile run with Duke.  He was very excited and pulled fast at the first part of the run.  We would really go fast if he did not stop to smell and pee.
