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

After work and a short nap I took Duke on a 1 mile run.  Then I did my arm weight exercises.

Met the group for the early miles at the South County Pool.  We ran from there past the park and out to redwood.  I turned around before redwood and headed back past the park and out to 126th.  Then I turned around and ran back to the park and then out to 126th and back again.  Then when the group came we ran south past the Pool road and then turned around and went back to the pool.  When the rest of the group came we ran past the park again and then around it and back to the pool.  Then we did runs from the pool to 13th west and back.  It was a quarter of a mile from the pool to 13th west and I ran back and forth 5 times and then I had to leave to go to work.  I was quite tired but not dead.

Met the group at the church on 102nd and 40th west.  There were only 4 of us there for the first part.  We ran west to Yorkshire Dr. and ran north on Yorkshire to 98th.  The others were ahead of me and continued across 40th west but I turned south on 40th and headed back to the church.  When I got to the church I turned east and ran until I saw the others coming.  We then ran south past the church and ran through the back parking lot and back to meet the group.   We started out on a 15 minute warm up going west again to Yorkshire and then we turned around and went south back to the street that turns onto Yorkshire.  Then we did a 2 mile tempo run.  I started ahead of everyone up the hill.  At the top of the hill we turned north and followed the road back to Yorkshire.  The group then went north on Yorkshire, but I turned south and headed back to the car so I could get to work.   After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 75 mens pushups.  I could only do 50 pushups and then had to take a 30 second break and then do 25 more.  I don't know why my; arms are getting too weak to do 75 at once.  Maybe I need to do them more often.

I went to my triathlon class because I didn't feel like running in the snow.  I got a good workout.
