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:

Duke and I ran 3 miles this morning before I had to be to work at 6am.  I wore my spikes on my shoes and I didn't slip once.  The first mile was cold but I warmed up after that.

Leslie and I met the group at Chase Bank on 114th for the run.  Todd Douglas was the only other person that came.  He decided to run later since it was so cold and Leslie and I decided to go back home and get Duke and then we just ran 3 miles.  It was very, very cold and I did not warm up like I usually do when I run.  We later read an email saying it was too cold for the group run and everyone should go to the rec center.

Our group wasn't meeting this morning and I had to be to work at 6 so I just used the elliptical for 10 minutes before work.  I was too busy after work to do any exercise.

Duke and I ran outside for the first time this week.  It was 20 degrees but it wasn't windy.  The ground was snowy so I put my spikes on my shoes.  It was so nice to run outside. We did our usual 3 mile route.  Then I came home and cleaned and then used the spin bike for 30 minutes.

I went to the Rec Center and ran around the track.  I was glad I could run, but it is sure not as fun as running outside.

I ran 3 miles this morning with Duke before work.  It was 14 degrees but I didn't get cold.  I sure like running outside better than inside.

My cold got the best of me so today I did not do any exercise.  I hope to feel good enough to run tomorrow.

Leslie, Duke and I ran our usual 3 mile course. We didn't get too cold even though the temperature was 14 degrees because it was not windy.  Three was just right for me today since yesterday I was feeling pretty sick.

I met the group at Riverton High for the run.  Only 3 others came.  We did our usual loop through the subdivision and then I did another loop while they turned north.  It was so nice to run outside.  Duke really loved it.

I went out this morning to run with Duke.  I did not think it would be slippery so I didn't wear my spikes.  I was wrong and it was slippery so I came back and used the elliptical for 30 minutes and the spin bike for 30.
