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

Met the group early at the Parkway on 9800.  It was snowy and cold.  We ran along the trail.  It was only slippery in a few spots.  Had a good time visiting with Peggy and Michelle P.  During the second 1/2 hour of our run while we were running along the trail, we turned to go on a new trail and I stepped off the edge and pulled my muscle again.  I must have pulled it a lot worse this time because it hurts to sit and I really have a hard time putting on my shoes.  I hope it feels better by Thursday.

Tried to do my leg weight exercise but my pulled muscle hurt too much.  Did stomach muscle exercises and 70 men's pushups.

Used the Eliptical for 15 minutes, the glidder for 10 and the stationary bike for 5.  I sure don't enjoy it as much as running outside.  I hope my muscle is feeling good enough to run Saturday.

Jenny, Duke and I ran to Leslie's.  My rear muscle was still a little sore and the muscle down the back of my leg was very stiff.  When we got to Leslie's I decided that it would be better if I drove back to my house while Jenny, Leslie, Chrissy and Duke ran back.  I had breakfast ready for them when they got here.  It was fun to run with Jenny. Since she lives in Idaho I don't get to run with her often.  When she lived in American Fork, I used to go down every other Saturday and run my long runs with her.  I just hope my muscle is better enougth to run the Riverton Half-Marathon so I don't have to walk part of it.
