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:

Leslie and I went on a bike ride.  We were going to meet the Bunners but Leslie didn't get to my house until 6am and they leave the rec center at 6 am.  Leslie didn't see any bikers there when she drove by.  We did our usual route down redwood to 126th  and then to 3600 West to 118th.  Then west to 40th west, north past the temple to 98th and back to redwood.  It took us 55 minutes and I wasn't too tired because I go slower for Leslie.  After I ate breakfast and cleaned up I picked up the weeblos and one parent and we headed up to Weeblos Day Camp.  The first thing we did after the opening ceremony was go on a 2 hour hike up the mountain.  I enjoyed the hike.  After the hike we ate lunch and then went to 3 more classes.  In between I walked back and forth twice to the car which was parked about a half a mile away to get things out.  By the time we got home I was very tired.  I took a short rest, made dinner and then Leslie and I went to Blackridge Reservoir to swim.  There were tons of people there so instead of swimming all the way around the outside we swam 3/4 the way around one direction and then turned around and swam the same way back.  We took a couple of short breaks to adjust our goggles.  It is really hard to see where you are going with water in your goggles.

WOW! That is one jam packed full day! Day camp is enough to exhaust anyone, but add all the rest of that on top of it - you are one strong lady!!
