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:

I met the group for the early miles.  I was the only one there and was about to leave and Michelle showed up.  We started out in the parking lot at Bingham and it was very slippery and foggy so we went out to the road and it was okay.  I had my head light and reflector vest on.  We ran down to 2200 and the north to the first subdivision.  We did the loop and then went back out to 2200.  We saw a runner a little way ahead and ran to catch up to see if it was someone from our group that had come late.  We caught up when the runner turned around and it was Cheris from our group.  We ran through another subdivision and then turned around and headed back to the school.  I was glad to have someone to run with.

OH, you week of posts leaves me with so much to say!

I love that you slept in until 4:45!!!

15 people at running group in the winter? WOW, did Dean have donuts or something???

GO DUKE, glad he is out there and running.

And, lastly, I miss running group! I have not seen you since the dinner before St George, right??? Maybe there was one other time that I was able to run, but I am not sure. I am trying to talk myself into getting up next Thursday since I have the day off. BUT sleeping in sounds so nice!
