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 bikes with Shannon and since I did not have to work we just rode to my street.  It was a good ride.  I spent the day doing a good clean on my living room.  I really looks nice now.

I was a couple minutes late for the early miles so I just ran north on 40th west for 13 minutes and then turned around and ran back.  The others were there for the regular miles.  We headed west up the big hill but turned north before we got to the top.  I ran for 13 minutes and turned around and headed back to the car.  I only run 13 minute miles now so that is how I tell how far I go.

Shannon and I rode bike at 6:30 this morning.  She only wants to go 10 on Wednesday's and Friday's because she does weight training on those days at work and it gets her very tired.

Met the group at Riverton High for the regular miles.  I do not have to work again until August 18th.  We just ran around the track.  They did 800's and I did a continuous slow run.  I was glad I made it 4 miles.  Then I went home and did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I rode bikes with Shannon this morning.  She thought we were going at 6:30 and I thought we were going at 6 so when I got to her house she wasn't out yet so I called her and then just rode around while i was waiting for her.  I rode about 2 miles while I was waiting.  Then we did our 10  mile ride south on 13th west to bluffdale and then home on redwood.  It was a good ride.  Then I weeded and then went to my daughters to swim.  I did not do laps I just played with the kids.

My daughter Christine and I tried a practice Triathlon.   We swam 300 meters in her pool, then we biked 12 miles and ran 3.4.  The swim and bike were easy for me but the run was hard.  I beat Christine in the swim and went slow for her on the bike and she went slow with me on the run.  We got a good work out.
