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

Total Distance

100.00

I put our biking miles on since I don't now how to separate them. Leslie and I went to Logan to do the MS 100 mile bike ride. We stayed with Leslie's former mission companion. It was nice to visit with her and her friend. We went to Olive Garden for dinner and it was delicious. We a.had to be at the place at 5:55am for team photos and then the ride started at 7am. Then we got in line for breakfast. While I was in line I saw Debbie Worthen the channel 2 weather girl and since my son told me to tell he "hi," I said Hi Debbie, my son Ben told me to tell you Hi. She said tell Ben I said Hi back. There were 3000 bikers at the start of the ride. Leslie and I started out at a medium pace because we wanted to make it to the end. We rode all over creation. We skipped the first rest stop and the second one too. We did stop at the rest stop at mile 28. We met Sherry and Joy, two of our other teammates there. Sherry was tired so Leslie stayed back and went slower with her and I went faster with Joy. Joy was very fast and I stayed with her for about 10 miles. I stopped at the rest stop at mile 50 and was eating trail mix and resting when I saw Leslie pull in. I was very glad to see her. Sherry was so tired that she took the turn off for the 75 mile route instead of going 100. Leslie and I continued on, I was a little tired and was glad to go a little bit slower. We were in Idaho now and rode all over creation there. We stopped at the rest stop at about mile 65 so Leslie could use the port-a-potty and then continued on. We got to the rest stop at mile 75 and stopped and ate lunch. It was a good lunch and a nice rest. Then we continued on. If there was a big hill I would go fast and wait for Leslie at the top. We skipped the last rest stop and kept riding. We made it to the finish in 7 hours not counting the stops. We both felt good about the time. We thought it would take us at least 8 hours. There were not as many steep hills as there was in the Goldilocks ride. We got our medals and patch for going the full 100 and headed home.

Nice job Nancy. I'm so amazed at all you do. You are in such great shape. I love that you can do this with Leslie. You're new picture is so cute.

Holy Cow! You seriously just made a 100 mile ride sound like a day of fun and rest! Nice work to both of you for finishing and in a good time, and good spirits!
