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

Met the group at Riverton High.  I was a little bit late for the early miles but I did the usual route throught the subdivision.  For the regular miles we did the same course that I did on Saturday with RUN GR8 but they kept going to 114th and I turned at 118th and headed back the school so I could get to work.

I only had time to ride 4 miles after work because I had a dentist appointment.

I met the group at a park in Day Break.  We ran up through Daybreak. I got lost and even lost my sense of direction.  I eventually made it to 118th and then was able to make it back to the park.

The race did not start on time so I sat in the RUN GR8 bus for about a half an hour.  We ran part way up  Parkway Palisades and I went slow and steady.  On the way down I was able to pass a few people.  I ran steady the rest of the way.  I don't know what my time was because I left before the results and I forgot to look when I crossed the finish line.
