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 group at the church on Tithing hill for the run but I didn't go to the early miles because I took the day off and could stay for the whole hour.  I knew if I went to the early miles and then stayed I would be too dead to keep going.  We started off with a run down 13th west and then left through the subdivision and out to 126th and then back to the church.  I wore shorts and a tank top but still had gloves, arm warmers and a headband which I had to take off after the warmup run.  Then we headed down Tithing Hill but instead of going to the trail we turned at the bottom of the hill and ran north through the subdivision. (No one wanted to run on the trail because that is where a girl was murdered on Sunday)  We ran up and down the hills through the subdivision and then back up the big hill to where we started.  I was way behind and when I got to the top of the big hill I didn't know if they went right or left but when I looked to the right I could see them coming back so I turned right and caught up with them.  Then we went back down the hill and I thought we were doing the same route.  I made it up the first hill and headed towards the big hill.  I couldn't see anyone going up the big hill but I couldn't see them any where else either so I headed up the big hill.  When I got to the top I couldn't see any of them so I headed back down the other hill and then back up.  I still couldn't see them but I saw some other  girls at the top of the big hill and caught up with them.  They were another group so I ran with them for a few minutes and then headed back to the church.  Everyone from the group was already driving home except Michelle, Cheris and Debbie but I couldn't see them so I drove home.  Boy did I get a good workout.

Wow! that is a lot of hill running! Good job!

The news about that 15 year old girl's body found in the Jordan River is very disturbing!
