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 met the group for the early miles at Riverton but I came late so they were already gone.  I ran the route backwards and met the group coming east on 126th just past the High School.  I turned around and we turned on 2700 and then went east in the neighborhood across from the school.  When we got back to the school and met the others, most of the group did speed work on the track but Duke and I did the same route again and then headed home.

I met the group at Bingham but I was late again and they had already gone so Duke and I ran north on 2200 to 98th and then back to the school.  No one was there yet so we turned around again and ran north on 98th to the back parking lot and then back again.  When the others came we ran north on 2200 and then turned right into the first neighborhood.  We did a loop around the neighborhood and then started our tempo run.  We ran through the neighborhood, back across the street to Bonanza and then to the next street.  The others we clear to 2700 but I only went half way and then started back to the High School.  Then I headed home to get ready for work.

Leslie and I ran from her house to Christine's and back.  It ended up being 12.65 miles.  When we got to Christine's we ate a snack and refilled our water bottles.  She ran back with us for a mile and then headed back home.  We had to walk a couple of times and eat hot tamalees, but we made it.  Next Saturday we are going to run the South Jordan Half course.
