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'm at my daughter Jenny's house in Idaho. I used her treadmill and her exercise bike.  I wanted to run outside because the weather is very nice but they are surrounded by dirt roads and they are all mud piles.  Jenny's baby is due in 5 weeks and she is still way faster than I am.  She ran 2 and 1\2 miles in just over 18 minutes.  I'm not used to the treadmill and I kept pulling out the automatic shut off.  I kept shutting it off about every two minutes.  I still got a very good workout.

I didn't go to running group this morning because we were still at my daughters.  We left at about 8:30 this morning for out 3 hour drive home.  We were in a slight accident that could have been fatal.  I was in the back seat when my husband slammed on the brakes.  I saw all kinds of stuff flying by.  Luckily none it hit the windshield.  The only damage was the rubber part under the bumper.  A car going in the Southbound lane on the freeway veered off into the median and was headed straight for us.  It hit the barrier which was two metal  wires connected to metal poles.  Luckily this stopped the car from hitting us head on.  It continued on in the median and finally came to a stop.  We stopped and waited for the police.  They think the person driving the car had either a stroke or a heart attack.  It really scared us all to death, but we are very thankful to be alive.  After we got home we unpacked and took a short nap.  Then I cleaned the house and did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 75 mens pushups.

After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.  Then I went to the store.  When I got back I used the elliptical for 15 minutes and the stationary bike for 15 minutes.

Met the group at Centennial Park for the early miles.  Only Lisa and Julie were there.  I started off early and they caught me fast.  We ran through the subdivision and out to 3600 west and they continued on and I turned around and went the same way back.  When I got back I kept running past the park out to 134th and then back.  There were about 6-8 more people that came for the regular miles.  We ran the same route and I started off early again and turned around at 3600.  I end up going 5 miles while everyone else goes 6 because I am quite slow.  I'm glad I can at least keep going.  I got a good workout and then went home to get ready for work.  After dinner tonight I will ref basketball games for a couple of hours and then go visiting teaching.

I went to Leslie's this morning and we jogged to Chrissy's and back.  We left her house and ran out to 40th west north to 9800 and then east to 2700 then north again to Bueno Vista which is almost to 7800.  Then we turned into the subdivision and stopped at Chrissy's house.  She jogged back with us to 90th south and then turned around and headed home.  We saw a lot of runners and one was Tom Boud who used to run with our running group.  We made it to Leslie's street and I wasn't as tired as the last time we ran that far.  It was more slippery on the way back so it took a little bit longer.  We had a good run and I enjoyed the visit with Leslie and Christine.
