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

60.00

Leslie and I did our Goldilocks 60 miles bike ride today and since I don't know how to put in under biking I put in under running. Boy 60 miles is a long ride. We stopped at one rest stop and at Daybreak for lunch and it took us just over 5 and a half hours. We started out at Herriman Park and wove around through the subdivision and out to the 134th and up past Butterfield Canyon and Kennecott. Then we rode east on 118th to 3600 west and then north to 144th and out to Redwood Road. Then we rode south to Camp Williams where we had our first rest stop. It's a good thing we had a rest stop there because coming up the hill I got a flat tire. When we got to the rest stop there was a man fixing tires so I figured he was a volunteer with the race to help fix bikes. I took my bike back and he fixed it. Then I found out he was just following his wife and just helping to be nice. I'm glad he fixed my flat because it probably would have taken me an hour. We had snacks and used the portapotty. Then we continued south for a while and turned east and then went south again for a while then east and then we went through Thanksgiving Point and then started north. Boy there were sure lots of hills. Then we went west on 118th and then turned north and ended up at Daybreak for lunch. After lunch we rode back up 118th to highway 111 and then north to the Old Bingham Highway. Then we went east to 40th west and then south past the Oquirrh Temple and then west past Daybreak and turned south at 6400 west and then when we got to Rosecrest Subdivision we wove around the subdivision for a while and ended up at Herriman Park. It was a long ride and I was tired. I went quite slow because I waited for Leslie. She still isn't feeling up to par and felt quite sick and tired by the end. I finally convinced her that she should get a check-up. We saw people from our Tri class and Kris Bullock and Michelle Margetts from running group. I really enjoyed the ride.

WHAT?!? NO way!! I didn't realize you guys did that ride. I was running by those bikers all morning! I wish I would've kept a better eye out for ALL you guys. I honestly didn't realize the course was that long. I ran by the route arrows at the beginning, and the ones through the neighborhood to the park at the end, but I had NO idea it went clear down to Lehi and North to the Temple!! I'm SO amazed at all of you - that is a crazy amazing ride! There are TONS of hills in that route, I DROVE down to Lehi and ran MANY of the roads you biked on today. I feel almost like I was right there with you :) If I would've realized it was the race you were doing I would've figured out what time to go cheer you on at the end! I ran by the park like 3 times today!

Nice work, and even better work finally convincing Leslie to get to the doctor! Keep up all your good work and send my best wishes to Leslie to get well soon!!
