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

My usual 1.5 with Ben and Duke and then I ran 3 with Duke and then I had to get ready for work.  It is going to be hard to get used to working again.

I walked a mile with Ben and Duke and then ran with the BBK's.  I couldn't stay the whole time because I had to work at 7.  We did our usual 3 mile warmup course and then a mile on the track.  Then some stayed on the track and some of us ran off road.  I hate running on the track so I was glad to run off road.  After work I did my arm weight exercises.

Ben Duke and I did our usual 1.5 mile course and then I did my leg weight/ stomach exercises along with pushups.  Then I went to help my daughter Becca move.  She lives on the 3 floor of an apartment so I went up and down 3 flights of stairs at least 100 times.  Boy was I tired when I got home.

Duke, Ben and I did our usual 1.5 mile run and then I ran 3 with Leslie.  I was very tired from helping my daughter Becca move so I was glad Leslie only wanted to go 3 miles.  After Leslie got off work we rode bikes but we only went 6 miles because it was very windy.

This morning Ben was too tired to walk so Duke and I ran the 1.5 miles down to the river bottoms and back.

Ben wanted to sleep in so I ran 3 miles with Duke and then did our usual walk when I got back.  I didn't run with Leslie because Ben and I were having a garage sale at 8am.  I walked another half a mile putting signs up at both ends of our street.
