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

Shannon and I rode 10 miles.  I wanted to go more but she got tired because the wind was blowing.  Then I came home and took Duke for a short walk and then ran 3 miles with Leslie.

Met the group at O Roi park and we ran along the parkway trail.  They were doing two 3 mile tempo runs.  I only wanted to do 3 miles because I have a hip muscle that has been bothering me.  I was a long way behind and I saw a red fox cross the trail in front of me. I love seeing wildlife.  After the run I went home and did some cleaning and then I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I rode bikes with Shannon and we did our usual 10 mile route.  I felt tired this morning so I was glad we were only doing 10.  Then I came home and did my arm weight exercises.  Then I cleaned the house and at lunch.  Then my son wanted me to ride bikes with him so we did the 3 mile course.

Christine and I did our Tri training this morning.  We did not swim because her pool cover was off the slider.  We ran first and did our 3.5 mile course and then we rode our bikes on our 12 mile course.  I was glad we ran first because it was a lot easier.  We got a good workout on the bikes because it was very windy.

I rode bikes with my husband and son and then I went to the Run GR8 run and ran 3 miles.  Then I went to Leslie's and helped with her sprinklers for two hours.
