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

Long-Term Running Goals:

Personal:

I slept over at Leslie's Friday night so I could take care of the triplets.  Saturday morning after we fed the babies, Christine came over and pushed the double jogger with 2 babies and Leslie pushed the jogger with 1 baby and I just ran.  I am so slow I could barely keep up with them pushing the joggers.  I am grateful I can run 3 miles even if I am slow.

I slept at Leslie's to take care of the babies.  Christine came over in the morning.  She pushed the double jogger and Leslie pushed the single jogger and I followed behind.  We only went 3 miles but I was very tired at the end.  It is amazing that 3 miles can get me so tired  but I least I am still doing it.

Met the group at Riverton High School.  Cheris and I were the only ones there.  We visited a moment and then started through the subdivision.  Cheris passed Duke and I and that was the last I saw her.  We ran through the subdivision and around the block and then past Riverton north to Christine's street and then back to Riverton.

After work and a short nap I rode my bike to Leslie's, tended the triplets for 2 hours and rode home again.  The triplets are getting so big now.  They are starting to crawl and it is fun watching them interact.

Met the group at the sj soccer fields.  We did the 5K course and Peggy and Kris did the course again and I just ran through park and to the tennis courts and back.  It was a good run.  After I got home and ate breakfast I did my arm weight exercises.

My son Ben and I ran the SoJo 5K.  The course was a little different from the last time I ran it but it still had plenty of hills.  I ran slow and steady and had to walk a couple of times.  I ran fast on the down hills.  I won 1st in my age group but there were only two others besides me in my age group.  My son was 6th in his age group.  He ran it in 29 minutes.

I slept at Leslie's on Friday night.  She had a sore knee so I went home and ran 1 mile with duke and then went to Christine's to run 2 miles.  Then I went back to Leslie's to help give the triplets their baths.
