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 ran the RUNGR8 3 mile run with Duke.  He stopped a lot this time so It took me 41 minutes.  It was a good run anyway.

Duke and I went to the group run.  We met at the SJ Library.  We ran south to the road that turns east and then ran east to 13th west and then south.  We then turned east at Park way Palisades and ran east and then north.  After I ran through the subdivision I ran back out to 13th west and then back to the library. After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I met the group at the park across from Lifetime Fitness.  I was a few minutes early so Duke and I ran from the park to Parkway Palisades and back twice.  When the others got there we ran on the parkway trail.  They were going 6 but I only had time for 3.  It was good to run with the group again.  I work at 6am every Thursday so I cannot go then and sometime I have to work at 6 on Tuesdays.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

Duke and I went to the RUNGR8 run.  It was a little bit cool with a few snow flurries but otherwise a perfect day to run.  Christine caught up with us and ran the last 2 miles with us.

Met the group at the church on 102nd and 40th west for the Thanksgiving run.  We ran south on 40th to 114th and then the group went west and I turned around.  Duke and I ran north past 102nd to 98th and just before we got to 98th the group ran east on 98th across 40th west.  Duke and I turned around on 98th and headed south back to the church on 102nd.  When we got to the church the group was coming west on 102nd.  I put Duke in the car and visited with everyone before I came home.  We had almost all of our kids, son-in-laws and grandkids over for Thanksgiving dinner.  It was a lot of fun and a delicious dinner.

Went with Duke to the RUNGR8 run.  Christine ran with us on the run.  Duke runs faster and stops less when Christine runs with us.  We did the run in 37 minutes which is the fastest I've done it since the last time Christine ran with us.  It was a good run.
