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 

2010

Riverton 1/2 Marathon  3rd in age

Long-Term Running Goals:

Personal:

I'm married, have 8 kids (7 daughters and one son) and 28 grandkids. I have a great supportive husband.  The grandsons and grand daughters are now tied at 14.  I have 2 grand daughters married and one going on a mission to Australia.

Duke and I went to the group run.  We ran 2 miles.  Running is getting very hard because of my leg that drags.  I hope the Nuerologist can figure out the problem.

I went to the RUNGR8 run and did the 3 miles.  It is so hard to run with a leg that drags and toes that curl under.  I Hope when I go to the Nuerologist on Monday he can find out what is wrong.

We were in a car accident Sunday so I was too sore to exercise.  Our car was totaled and they had to use the Jaws of Life to get me out but I was not hurt just sore.

I ran .75 mile with Duke and then 1.25 by myself.  Duke has had a sore leg but Tuesday when I ran without him he stood at the windo and howled until I got back.  Today I decided to take him on a short run and then finish without him.  He loved it.

I went to the RUNGR8 run and ran 3 miles.  It really takes forever with my dragging leg and curled toes.  I will get my MRI on Monday and maybe they weill be able to find out what is causing it.

My daughter and I started our training for out Triathamom.  we swam in her pool, then we biked and ran.  I had to do Backstroke and side stroke because the front crawl hurts my chest and back.  I was very tired by the time we did the run and had to walk part of the time.

I ran a half a mile with Duke and then I went to our group run at the SJ soccer fields.  There were a lot of people there today.  We ran back and forth from 2200 through the park and our to redwood.  It was nice to visit with Eric and talk to the rest of the group before and after we started.
