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

Long-Term Running Goals:

Personal:

The good news is, Leslie got a GPS watch so now we can see how far and fast we are running. The bad news is, on Sunday we walked our course that we thought was 3 miles and it was only 2.68. The good news is, today we ran our Day Break 6 miles course and it was just over 6 miles. The bad news is, we only ran 11 minute miles. The good news is, I didn't care how slow I went I was just glad I could run. My daughter Christine who has been the fastest runner of all my daughters for the past 5 or 6 years hasn't been able to run for about 6 months. She has something wrong with her leg/back and the Dr.'s can't figure out what is wrong. She has been to lots of different doctors and they all tell her something different. She can run 100 yards and she can walk a mile very slowly, but the next day her leg is very, very tired. I'm grateful that I can still run even if I am slow.

Sometimes we take running for granted WAY too much! I'm sorry about Christine and I hope she can find someone to figure out what is wrong soon.

You guys did a great job on your run - an 11 mm isn't bad at all, especially with the hills up to daybreak!

OH, man, that does not sound good! I hope she gets to feeling better soon, that has to be hard not knowing what it is.

I like all of your good news/bad news!

Life is full of good news and bad news! Yours are quite exciting except for your daughter, Christines's leg/back pain. Hope the doc have some good answers for her!

11mm is NOT slow! it's all perspective! I love your attitude!

Are all those 24 adorable children your grandkids? COOL grandma!

Yes they are all my grandkids. We have one missing in the picture. I'm surprised you could count all 24 with the picture so small.

I can zoom in the pic on my iPad. I counted the little bundle your grand daughter(dressed in green on the back row) was holding...assuming it's a brand new one!

How nice you could get them all together for a kodak moment. They are so cute! You must be a busy and doeting grandma!

I only have 3...4th on the way in Jan. But all my grandkids live out of state! :(
