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

At 4:30 am I walked 1.5 miles with Duke and Ben.  Then I came home, ate breakfast and did some cleaning before I called and woke Leslie up.  We ran our 3 mile course along the canal by her house.  I won't be able to do my arm and leg weight exercises or bike until I get my stitches out next week.

This morning at 4:30 I walked with Ben and Duke.  We walked all the way down to the light at the River bottoms and back.  It was a good walk.  Then I left to go to the early miles with the BBK's.  They were already gone when I got there so I went the opposite direction and met them coming the other way on 126th.  Then I turned around and we headed towards Riverton High and ran through the subdivision across from it and then back to meet the others for the regular miles.  We started off on the track with a mile warm up.  Then while they did 400 sprints I just ran a mile as fast as I could(it was very slow but I try to stay under 11 minutes)  then I walk a lap and then run another mile.  After we did 4-5 miles on the track we ran out to 2700 and did another mile run through the next neighborhood.  I was very tired when I got home.

Duke, Ben and I did our usual morning walk.  It was a little bit cooler this morning and it felt good.  Ben and I got some of our stuff from our storage auction listed on Ebay and then I helped Kent harvest the honey.  After he takes the boxes off the hives he takes each frame and cuts off the wax with a hot knife and then puts 4 frames at a time in the spinner.  After the honey spins off the frames it drains into buckets.  Then we warm it up and put it though a filter and then into bottles.  It was a lot of work but we got 90 lbs. of honey.

Ben, Duke and I did our usual early morning walk.  Then I ate breakfast, did some cleaning and then called and woke Leslie up.  We did our usual 6 mile daybreak run.  For some reason this run has been very hard the last two times.  I don't know if it is the heat or what, but both times this run was harder than our longer Saturday runs.

This morning Ben, Duke and I walked but we didn't go as far because Ben didn't feel too good.

This morning at 5 am Ben, Duke and I did our usual 1.5 mile walk from our house down to the light at the river bottoms.  Then I got all of my stuff ready for our breakfast that we were eating on the other side of Butterfield Canyon.  Our family on this side of the Mountain (Chrissy, Ralphy and families and Ben, Leslie, Kent and I) were meeting my daughter Carrie and her husband and kids on the Tooele side of the mountain( where they live) to cook breakfast and visit.  After I got everything ready I called and woke up Leslie and then went to her house.  We ran from her house to Chrisy's house and then after a bathroom break and refill of my ice water we ran back.  It was a good run.  Leslie started to get very tired at the end and we walked when we got to her street.  We had a fun time in the canyon with our family.
