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

Personal:

Met the group at the West Riverfront Park but since I didn't have to be to work until 7, I just went for the regular miles.  I only wanted to run 3 miles because my foot still has tendonitis and I want to make sure I can run Deans race on Saturday.  Only Cheris and Rachel came to the run.  We did a few rounds through the subdivision and then I had to leave.

I ran the Team Iron Dean 5K with Duke pulling me along.  It was quite chilly today but I was glad as soon as I started running.  There were about 500 people in the race.  They were not timing us or doing place finisher.  Duke and I started off early because he was very excited we had to cross an icy bridge to start the race and I didn't want to fall down.  As soon as we crossed the bridge the race started and Duke took off pulling me along.  I was very glad I was only doing a 5K because Duke pulled fast the whole time.  When we got to the finish my son ben was waiting there and was surprised how fast we finished.  Then we took Duke home and came back for the raffle.  We also got Jdawgs to eat and they were very good.  They raffled off a lot of prizes and Leslie won a gift card to Einstiens Bagels.  It was a nice race and I'm glad so many people came to support Dean.

I rode my bike on my 6 mile ride.  I forgot to start my watch so I don't know how long it took me.

 Duke and I met the group at Bingham.  I went a little early for the regular miles and ran down 2200 and then back.  On my way back Peggy caught up with me.  She was the only one that came to the early miles.  Then we met the others back at Bingham.  They were running on the track so Duke and I ran the course the goes around temple view, Bonanza and then Bridal Oaks and then I had to get home to get ready for work.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

I rode my bike on my usual 6 miles course.  I pumped my tires up before I went and it really made a difference.

I used the Elliptical for 10 minutes and then the spin bike for 15.  Then Leslie came over and we ran a mile with Duke.  I let her hold Duke because it was slippery.

Met the group at Bingham for the early miles.  Only Mike and Peggy were there.  We did our usual course through Temple View, Bonanza, Bridal Oak and then through the subdivision on the east side of the road.  It was a good run.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

I went running with Duke this morning very early before work.  I had to be to work at 6 so I was only able to run 3 miles.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

Leslie, Duke and I did a 6 miles route that we haven't done for years.  We ran East to 13th west and then north to 106th and then east to 10th west and then north to 98th, then west to 13th west, then south to 106th and then west to redwood and back to 114th and then home.  It was a nice run and brought back a lot of memories of when I was training with Leslie when she was on the cross country team at Bingham High.

I met the group at Riverton High for the early miles.  Duke and I were the only ones there.  We did out loop through the subdivision and out to 126th and then back to 2700.  When we got to Riverton High we kept going north and almost to the light on 118th we turned around and ran back to the light on 126th and then back north almost to the light and back.  Then the others came for the later miles.  Only Cheris, Rachel and Carissa came for the regular miles.  I said "HI" and then headed home.

Duke and I met the group at the park below tithing hill.  We ran north for a bit and then turned around and went south.  I only wanted to go 3 miles because I needed to get home and put the turkey on to cook.  So I turned around when my watch said 25 minutes.  We had a nice Thanksgiving with my husband and I and all our kids except for 1 daughter and son-in-law and 4 grandkids we had 37 people.  It was fun, but noisy and wild.

Duke and I went to Leslie's to run.  We ran from her house up 126th to 3600 and then south past Walmart.  We turned around at the 2 miles mark and headed back.  We both had things to do.  We ended up doing the run in 40 minutes which is fast for me.

I met the group but didn't go to the early miles.  I was a few minutes early for the regular miles do Duke and I ran back and forth on 114th until the others got there.  Then we did a 2 mile loop through the neighborhood and went back to pick up Michelle.  She can only run for 35 minutes so she was coming at 6:05.  Then we ran through the neighborhood.  I turned around after a mile to head home and get ready for work.  After work and  a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.  I kept getting phone calls so I only ended up doing  half of what I normally do.

After work and a short nap I rode my bike on my 6 mile course.  I thought it might be cold so I dressed warm and was too warm.  It was a good ride.
