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

Riverton 1/2 Marathon  3rd in age

Long-Term Running Goals:

Personal:

It was great to have the day off for President's day.  Jenny and her family were down visiting from Idaho.  Jenny, Leslie, Chrissy, Duke and I ran 10 miles.  It was a lot of fun running with my daughters.   I don't get to jog with Jenny very often.

My second oldest daughter was in labor, so I took her kids and we along with Jenny and her kids, Chrissy and her kids and Leslie went to El Farol for lunch.  There were 16 of us all together with 4 adults and 12 kids.  We had a good lunch and a lot of fun.  The kids were all pretty well behaved.

Ralphie(real name Angie) had a baby boy at 4:30 this afternoon.  He weighed 8 lbs 1 oz and was 21 inches long.  He is my 23rd grandchild and they are naming him Jake Bryon.

I am so happy to know another over 50 runner out there. I am getting back into it - started again 1 1/2 years ago and finally have done some half marathons - times getting better as I can get more speed and miles in. You are my hero, though with daughters that are running also. Congratulations on the marathons - my goal also, but a step at a time. 22 grand kids - that alone will keep you fit!

Congratulations on the new grandson. What a run this morning. Just being out there today was a triumph, I certainly wouldn't have done it if not for the group. Thanks for being one of our loyal members--I always like seeing you and Duke there.

Congrats on the new grandson! That is awesome!!! I still can not believe you are even a grandma, you look way too young! My mom has 21 grandchildren and you look so much younger than her (not that she looks old---in case she ever reads that!) Running is the fountain of youth!

CONGRATS!! Its so fun to have a new baby around. Hopefully he's close enough to have around once in a while. Great job showing up to group this morning...I heard it was awful, glad I got in on a late flight and had a good excuse to not go, the fact that it was snowing and crappy weather was just an added bonus. See you Thursday.
