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

I met the BBK's at the church on 101st South and 40th West.  We started west on the road just north of the church and ran about half way up the hill and then turned south.  We ran across 106th and ran around through Daybreak and past the temple and turned around and headed back.  After we got back we met the group and started south on 40th West.  We crossed 106th and headed towards the temple.  Then one of our Iron men I'm not sure if it was John or Kevin because I can't remember which one is which twisted his anke and fell.  Lisa and I both volunteered to go back and get our cars, but Lisa decided she lived closer so we both jogged back to our cars and she went to pick him up.  I had to be to work by 7 so I headed home.  Duke really enjoyed the run and so did I.  The last few times I've run I really feel a lot better and enjoy running.  For awhile when I was really tired I didn't even like running.  Tonight Leslie and I rode our bikes on the Prison loop.  It's a 16.5 mile ride and we did it in an hour.  I could have gone faster but Leslie was very tired because she hadn't eaten anything since lunch.  My husband made a green apple pie that was so deliscious, I had a piece for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Nice job on the run and the bike ride. Apple pie for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner? That sounds like my kind of diet. Tell everyone at work Hi for me. I really miss everyone.

Sorry about the guy spraining his ankle, I hope he is okay! You guys are nice to take care of him.

Glad you are enjoying running and biking, you are such an athlete!
