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 had to be back to work for two days so I rode my bike to work and then back home after.  Then I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I met the group at the church on 2200 and 98th.  I was a few minutes early for the regular miles and so was Julie so we both ran up 98th for a while and then back to the church.  When the rest of the group came we ran towards Bingham and then ran east on the Oak something drive to 27th west and then I ran north back to 98th and then back to the church.

I rode bike with Shannon.  We did our usual route except when we got to 144th Shannon headed home on Redwood and I kept going west to 3600.  Then I went north to 118th and then east to 2700 and then north to 106th and then east to redwood and then south to 114th and the east to my house.  It was a good ride.  I really love riding bikes more than running because I can go a lot farther and not feel tired at the end.

I met the group at Riverton High School for the regular miles.  We did a mile warm up through the subdivision and then ran on the track.  I did a mile on the track and then I took Rachel's dog and did the 2 mile loop through the neighborhood.  Michelle Margetts was there for the first time in a long time so I visited with her for a while after the run.  It was nice to talk to her again.  She has had several injuries and hasn't been able to run too much this summer.

I went to my Family Outing at the Heber Valley Girls Camp so the only exercise I got was walking back and forth between out cabins and the main pavilion and I also got some arm exercise rowing our canoe on the lake.  We really had a lot of fun.  After we got home and put everything away, Ben and I rode our bikes on our 4 miles route.  We rode fast and got a good workout.
