| Location: South Jordan,Ut,USA Member Since: Jan 11, 2009 Gender: Female Goal Type: 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

| | I was off work today so I met Cheryl's run group at the West River Front Park. We ran to the big HIll in Parkway Palisades and then ran up and then part way down we turned north and ran through the subdivision. Then we ran through another subdivision and through a trail that leads to the road by the cemetary. Then we ran up and down the hill by the cemetary 3 or 4 times. Then we ran past the cemetary to 106th and then west to the next street and then we weaved through the streets of the subdivision. Then we ran back out to 106th, back past the cemetary and south on cemetary road until we got to the dirt road that leads back to Life Time Fitness and back to our cars. I got a very good workout. Thanks Cheryl.

| | Leslie, Kent and I went to the RUNGR8 mustache run last night. It was a bit chilly but as soon as I started running I was not cold, in fact by the end of the run I was hot. Leslie and I ran the 3 mile run and Kent walked the Mile run. He was finished with his scone and hot chocolate and rode the bus back to RUNGR8 and he came back and picked us up. There were about 200 people doing the run. It was fun.

| | I met the group at the West River Front Park. Only Mike and Peggy came for the early miles. We ran to the parkway trail and headed south. While I was running along I got a phone call and it was my boss and she needed me to come in early. I ran for a few more minutes and then headed back.

| | I rode my bike on my usual 10 mile course. It was windy so it took me 37 minutes instead of 35.

| | I met the group at the South Jordan Soccer Fields. I was late for the early miles so I just ran south on 2200 to almost 114th and then turned around and headed back. For the regular miles we ran from 2200 along the park road to redwood and then back several times.

| | Leslie and I went to the RUNGR8 run. I started off early because I needed to hurray. I was doing really well until my water pack broke again. I had to stop and pick everything up and then had to carry everything. Leslie caught up to me and helped me carry some of my stuff. We made it back and I hurried home to get my Garage sale set up.

| | I met the group at Country Crossing Park for the early miles. I ran out throught the subdivision to 114th and then ran on the trail up to the top and then back down. When I got back it wasn't quite time for the other miles so I ran back and forth along the road. Peggy, Mike and Kris were at the early miles. There were about 13 people at the regular miles. They were going up and around the neighborhood but I just ran out to 114th and up again. After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

| | I didn't have time to go to run group because I had to be to work at 6 so I ran at 5am and ran from my house to 13th west and then south to 120th and then back. After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

| | Leslie and I went to the RUNGR8 run. It was cold and snowy but I knew I would get hot when I ran so I wore my tank top and shorts with my head band, arm warmers and gloves. It was a little chilly going south into the wind and snow but when I turned west and then north I got warm and had to take off my head band and push down my arm warmers. It was a good run.

| | Met the group at Riverton High School. I was the first one there for the early miles so I started out throught the subdivision on the usual course. We I got back to Riverton there was still time before the regular miles so I turned around and headed south, ran to 126th and then west for a few minutes and then turned around and headed back. We did the same course through the subdivision but when we got to 126th the group turned around and I headed west to 3600 and then back to the school so I could get home and get ready for work.

| | I went to the RUNGR8 run this morning. It was 23 degrees so I wore long lycra and a short sleeved shirt with my arm warmers, gloves and headband. I started off early and Leslie caught up with me at 3600 west. She stayed with me the rest of the run. It was fun to visit with her. When we got to the road by Stamp-In-Up I was hot and had to take off my warm stuff. It was a good run and I enjoyed visiting with Leslie.

| | I met the group at the church on 102nd and 40th west. I was the only one there for the early miles. I ran south on 40th to 106th and then back around the church. There still was no one else there so I ran north on 40th west almost to 90th and then turned around and headed back. The group had already left when I got there but I could see them running east on 102nd so I headed that way. Part way down the street Lisa Dudley caught up with me. We kept going east until we got to a street going north and we could see the runners heading this way. When we were almost caught up them I turned around and headed back. They all caught up and passed me. There were 18 runners which is a lot for Thanksgiving. We regrouped at the light and I headed south on 40th west. Everyone caught up and passed me except Nicole, Michele's daughter. I ran with her for about 10 minutes and then I had to turn around and head home so I could get my turkey on to cook. We had a nice Thanksgiving. We had 25 people. Only 2 of my daughters and their familes didn't come because they were going to in-laws this year.

| | I picked up Leslie for the RUNGR8 run. She was doing 7 and I was doing 5 so I ran by myself. It is so wierd how my legs have forgotten how to run. About the first half of the run I have to think about how to lift my legs and where to place them. Then about half way through the run they seem to work normally again for a while and then off and on the last mile they quit working again. I am glad that I can still run.
