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

Riverton 1/2 Marathon  3rd in age

Personal:

I had 4 grand kids staying with me last night so I got up and jogged 3 miles with Duke before they woke up.  Then I came home and made them breakfast.  At 8am I called Leslie.  She was tending the baby of these grand kids.  She came over with the baby and then the oldest (Rachel who is 12) tended while Leslie, Duke and I ran 3 miles.  It was a good workout.

I met the group for the early miles at Riverton High.  Duke and I were the only ones there.  We ran the usual route through the subdivision, then we ran past Riverton High and north to the light on 118th and then back to Riverton.  The others were at Riverton when we got back.  I said hello and then I headed home to get ready for work.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

I ran 1 miles with Duke and then met the group at Bingham.  They were running on the track and Duke can't run on the track.  I didn't want him to be disappointed so I ran with him first.  There were 6 people there besides me.  Peggy, Rachel and I ran on the track and Mike, Todd and Carissa ran around the neighborhoods.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.  I took the day off because my husband is having surgery on his knee.  He is in the worst pain that he has ever been in his life.  He didn't hurt his knee, but last Saturday night he was reading and got up to come downstairs and his knee was hurting.  It has steadily gotten worse.  They tested him for gout and did an x-ray but couldn't see anything wrong.  The blood test didn't show an infection, but they are doing exploratory surgery to see what is causing all the pain.  He had knee replacement surgery on his other knee and it was painful but the pain is twice as bad with this knee.

Leslie, Duke and I ran our 6 mile course down to 13th west, then north to 106th, then north on 10th west to 98th and then west back to 13th and then south to 106th, west to redwood and then south to 114th..  It was a good run and we were 7 minutes faster than the last time we did that route.

Duke and I met the group at Riverton High.  We were the only ones at the early miles.  We did our usual route through the subdivision.  When we got back to the HS we kept going north to 118th and then came back.  The others were there and I said hello before I left to get ready for work.

I got up to run this morning, but my foot was hurting too much to run.  I didn't do anything to it.  Yesterday I used the Elliptical and Spin bike and it didn't hurt.  It was really hurting most of the day at work and then suddenly it quit hurting.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I met the group at Cheris's house for our Christmas Eve run.  I was early so Duke and I ran up and down the street, then we saw Rachel and she ran with us for a few minutes until everyone else got there.  We were doing an out and back from her house.  Duke and I started off early because I am so slow.  We ran out to 3200 and then south.  A couple of people caught Duke and I and we kept going until we turned east and then ran east to the street that goes south again.  When I got to 16 minutes we turned around and headed back.  I was only going 3 with the group so I could take Duke back home before we had our party.  Ben came with me to the party.  We had hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls.  Cheris and Cheryl gave each of us a small present.  We got a light to wear running and some shot blocs.  It was fun.

Leslie, Duke and I met the group at Julie's house.  It was very cold.  We started off before the others because I am slow.  It wasn't too slippery, but there were a couple of spots I had to walk so I wouldn't fall down.  we headed through the subdivision and out across 118th and through that subdivision to 114th and then up a couple of streets and south through a subdivision and then out across 2700 through another subdivision and then out to 3200 and then south to 126 and east to Mcdonalds and then back to Julie's.  It was a good run.

I used the elliptical for 15 minutes and the spin bike for 15.  We are going out to dinner for New Years Eve.  It is our family tradition.  I'm glad that Kent is feeling well enough to go.  This will be the first time out of the house in a month except for Dr visits.
