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:

Leslie and I jogged 3 miles while she held Duke.  Then we went on a long bike ride.  We rode from my house to Redwood south to 118th south and west on 118th up to the Bachus Highway.  We turned left and rode up the hill to the entrance to Kennecott and then we rode back home.  It took an hour and 5 minutes on the way up and about 35 minutes on the way back.  I had to go slow so Leslie could keep up so I didn't get out of breath at all except on the big hill and I went ahead of her and didn't wait for her until I got to the top.  On the way back the wind was really blowing and it was cold.  By the time we got back we were both frozen.  I made breakfast for us and then took a long hot bath.  Now we are going to Cassie's(granddaughter) baptism.

Nice run and ride!! That hill is a KILLER! I've only run down the hill, I've never been brave enough to even attempt to run UP it! Nice work!!

nice job on the workouts this morning. i think biking uphill is quite possibly best workout in the world. and in the cold and the wind...hardcore!

Sounds like a killer bike ride. EXCELLENT job! THANKS for all your kind comments.

SO WONDERFUL to attend your granddaughter's baptism. My first grandchild, also a granddaughter is getting baptized in June. But they live in Texas, I'm sad to miss it. But they are coming to Utah 2 weeks after that. So I'll get to see them then.

Have a great weekend!
