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 used the Elliptical for 15 minutes and the stationary bike for 25.  I got a good workout and watched my favorite show millionaire at the same time.

Met the BBK's at Centennial Park for the early miles.  I was happy that there were 3 other people early besides me.  Aaron, Lisa, Kelli and I ran through the subdivision and out to 3600 west.  I turned around right at 3600 and headed back.  When I got back the others were there for our next run.  There were about 10 people there for the regular run.  Kelli went slow with me for awhile and Cheris caught up with us because she was late.  I told them goodbye just before 3600 and headed back so I could get to work.  I got a good workout and enjoyed visiting with the Kelli.

I went to my triathlon class this morning.  Leslie was sick with the stomach flu so she didn't come.  I swam for 40 minutes, did the spin bike for 40 minutes and ran on the treadmill for 32 minutes.  I got a very good workout.  Then I came home, cleaned up and went to Costco.  Then I took my sister to Kneaders for her birthday.  It was good.

After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises.  I can't do my pushups for now because my shoulder is still sore.

Met the BBK's at the SJ Soccer field for the early miles.  The only one there when I started was Aaron but I needed to be to work at 6 so I started early.  I saw the others about half way through and I got to the end about the same time.  It was a good run.  After work and a short nap I used the Elliptical for 15 minutes and the stationary bike for 15.

I met the BBK's at SJ library for the early miles.  Dean, Kelli, Scott and Aaron were there.  I started off early so I wouldn't be too far behind.  We ran east to 13th west and then south to Jordan Ridge Drive and then East to the cemetery road.  We ran north on cemetery road to 10550 South and then west back to 13th west and then south back to the road that leads to the library and then west to the library.  I was a little ways behind to the others came back for me when I got to the cemetery.  Kelli jogged slow with me until we got back to the library.  When we got back the others were just leaving but I was so hot I took off my warm stuff and took it to my car.  By then I was so far back I never did find the group.  I jogged back out to 13th west and south almost to 114th and turned down Michelle's street.  I jogged to her street and didn't see the group so I headed back to the library so I could be to work by 7.  I got a good workout and was very tired when I got to my car.

Leslie and I met the group at Bingham.  They were going 12 but we were only going 6 because Leslie has been sick.  Leslie was a couple minutes late so they started and I waited for Leslie.  It was chilly but I was glad I wore a tank top and shorts because it only took a few minutes for me to warm up.  The run was good and I wasn't as tired as the last time we did the same run.  It sure is a lot nicer to run outside.  After I got home I cleaned up and cleaned the house and then I took my daughter Christine to Olive Garden for her Birthday lunch.  It was good.

Met the group at Mike and Peggy's for the early miles.  I started out before them and turned the wrong way.  Then I turned back and went the other way.  I finally saw them coming back and turned around.  They passed me up and I kept going and made it back before the other group started out again.  We started the same direction but went out to 13th west and then south to Chavez and down Chavez to the bottom of the hill to regroup.  That was the mile mark and I ran with them until the next street north and then headed back. Scott headed back too but he was ahead of me.  I made it back to the car and was very tired but glad I ran.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises.  I did 25 pushups also before my shoulder started hurting so I decided that was good for now.

Met the group at Riverfront Park for the early miles.  I started off before the others.  We ran south passed 114th and turned west on the last road and ran up the hill to Lampton.  Then we ran straight on Lampton until we had run for 15 minutes.  The others passed me before I got to 114th.  It was very cold, 18 degrees and I had to keep blowing on my hands for the 1st mile and a half until I warmed up.  I turned around at 15 minutes and made it back just after the others.  We met the rest of the group and did the same run except they kept going and I turned around at the same spot because I had to get to work.  It was a good workout.  I'm glad the roads were dry and clear.

I got up at 6am and went Christmas shopping at Walmart.  Then I came home and cleaned.  At 10am Leslie and I met some of the group at the JR parkway and 9800 for out run.  We ran south for three miles and turned around.  It was a little chilly going south and it was harder to run but when we turned around I got hot and the run was easier.  It was a good run and I was tired at the end.

Met the group for early miles.  It was very snowy but beautiful.  There were four of us there.  It's a good thing I ran because I have really been pigging out lately.

Met the group at the church on 124th and 13th west.  There were 9 of us.  I didn't go to the early miles because I didn't have to work today and I knew I couldn't run that long without dying.  We ran north on 13th west past the church and then turned west and then south past another church and then out to 126th and back to 13th west and back past the church we started out at and then down the big hill past a few streets and then left to a park that had a trail.  We stopped and visited for a few minutes then Peggy, Mike and Debbie left to do a long run and the rest of us did laps around the park.  I think it was about a quarter of a mile around and we did it four times.  Then we ran out to the big hill and they were doing hill repeats, but I was so tired that I did the hill once and then went back to my car.  I got a very good workout.  Then I came home, cleaned the house, cleaned up and went shopping.  Then I took a long nap.  After dinner my husband and I went to the temple.

I used the elliptical for 15 minutes and the stationary bike for 15 minutes.  Then I cleaned the kitchen and did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 50 mens pushups.  My shoulder is feeling better so now I need to work back up to 75 pushups.

I used the elliptical for 15 minutes and the stationary bike for 15 minutes.  I really don't enjoy either so it's a good thing we have TV in the exercise room.  After I cleaned the kitchen I did my arm weight exercises.  Then I cleaned up, did more housework and then took my daughter to Olive Garden for her Birthday.  It was very good!!!

Met the group at Bingham High for the regular miles.  We ran across 106th south through the subdivision and out to redwood road and then south to the park.  Then we ran through the park and west to 2200 west and then north to Rustic Roads.  Then we ran up Rustic Roads to 2700 w and then south to 9800 and then west to 2200 and then south back to Bingham.  I took one shortcut to catch back up with the group.  Eric was going slower than the others so when he caught up with me he went slow with me the rest of the way.  It was nice to have someone to talk to.  Thanks Eric.

I got up to meet the running group for the regular miles. I woke up at 4:30 and didn't need to be there until 5:45 so I did my indexing while I was waiting.  When I looked outside before I did my indexing it was snowy and cold but was not snowing.  When I was just about ready to leave my husband said are you going to run in this blizzard?  I looked outside and it was snowing like crazy.  I decided to do 10 more minutes of indexing before using the elliptical.  Ten minutes later I looked out the window and the snow had stopped falling.  Even though I knew I would be late I decided I would rather run outside.  I drove down to the park by daybreak where we were meeting and didn't see anyone.  Then I saw Cheris just getting out of her car.  We were the only ones there.  We started running and then saw Michelle coming.  We ran around up and down through the daybreak neighborhood and then down back past our cars and then out to 114th and up the hill.  Cheris and Michelle were a little way ahead of me and I thought they were going to come back down the hill so when I saw them turn around I headed back down.  After I got to the bottom they were headed back up so I went back up and then back down again and back up once more.  When I didn't see them I headed back down and back to the park.  When I got almost to the cars I saw them come running.  They were going to run another mile so I just jogged to the end of the street again and back to my; car.  It was cold but we didn't get snowed on.  It was way better than the elliptical and I got a very good workout.

I used the elliptical for 15 minutes and the stationary bike for 15 minutes.  Then I did my stomach exercises.  My back has been hurting when I run lately and Eric and Michelle said I needed to do more stomach exercises.
