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 my bike to work today.  When I was about a quarter mile away my tire went flat.  I kept riding but it was very bumpy and slow the rest of the way.  I wasn't able to ride home so my son picked me up.  After a short nap I made plum leather and froze my garden corn.  Then I made dinner and cleaned the kitchen.

I met the group at the park off Tithing Hill.  They decided to run up the hill.  I started up the hill and they went back for someone that came late.  When I got to the top of the hill I looked back and no one else was running up.  I ran back down and couldn't see the others so I ran up the hill again.  I still couldn't see them so Duke and I ran back down and went south on the trail until we got to the river and then we turned around and went back to the parking lot.  We still didn't see anyone so we ran up the big hill again and then back down.  When we got to the parking lot the others were coming back from the trail.  Then we met the others for the regular miles.  We ran along the trail for 6 minutes and then turned around and headed back.  By then I was a ways behind because Duke has to stop at every bush.  They all ran up the big hill again so Duke and I did also.  Then we ran back down again and got in the car and headed home.  I got ready for work and rode my bike to work.

I met Shannon and we rode our bikes to Leslie's house.  Then we rode out to 118 and back to redwood.  Shannon went home and I rode around the block and back to Leslie's and then back home.  Now I am going to do my arm weight exercise before I freeze more corn and make salsa.  I don't have to be back to work until Tuesday so I need to get as much done as I can before then.

 Duke and I ran to Leslie's and then she ran back with us.  It was a lot harder on the way to Leslie's than on the way back, maybe because the way back is mostly downhill.

I rode my bike on the 6 mile course by myself because Leslie wanted to sleep in and Shannon was not feeling well.  I did the course in under 20 minutes.  I can ride a lot faster when I ride by myself.  Then I came home and did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.  Then I went on a hike with some of my kids and grandkids.

I called Leslie at 6:15 and then went to her house to run.  We did our usual course but added on a 1/2 mile before we turned around so that we could go 9 miles.  We went slow and steady.  I made it  the whole way without dying.
