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 rode 8 miles with Shannon.  She wasn't as fast as last week and I thought we were going to go 11 miles so we almost crashed when I kept going straight and she turned.  After I got home I weeded for half and hour and then called and woke up Leslie.  She and I ran 3 miles.

Met the group for the early miles at the parkway trail in Riverton.  Duke and I were the only ones at the early miles.  We started north on the trail and ran to where it ends in the subdivision.  Then we ran back where Lisa Dudley caught up with us.  It wasn't time for the others to come so we ran north on the trail for a couple of minutes and then came back.  When Michelle Margetts got  there she gave us all our Team Iron Dean pins.  Then we headed north on the trail again.  Duke and I kept up until he had to stop and use a bush.  I felt very hot and tired so I didn't mind that Duke kept stopping.  I turned around before I got to 114th and headed back.  I felt very hot and tired when I got to the car.  I was going to bike with Leslie when I got home but it looked like it might rain so I decided to do my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups instead.  I will bike with Leslie tomorrow.

I rode the usual 8 mile route with Shannon.  Then I came home, ate breakfast, called and woke Leslie up and rode to her house.  We did a quick loop around her block and then I rode back home.  On the ride to Leslie's and the ride back I ride as fast as I can.  On the way to her house it took me almost 14 minutes and the way home it took 10.  The way home is downhill.

Shannon and I did a shorter loop on our bikes because there were lots of dark clouds and lightening.  We did it fast so we still got a good workout.  Then I came home and did my arm weight exercises.

This morning my friend Shannon and I did a longer ride.  We rode from her house down to 13th west and the south to Bluffdale.  Then we rode west to 3600  West and north to 118th and then east back to redwood and home.  It was a 15 mile ride and took us just over 1 hour.  Then I got a drink, refilled my water bottle and headed out the door with Duke.  We ran to Leslie's house which is 3.1 miles away and then she ran back with Duke and I.  After I made her breakfast, I took her home.  I think I got a good workout.
