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:

Met the BBK's at Parkway Palisades.  We ran over to the cemetery and ran up and down the hill several times.  Kris, Debbie and I ran from there down 10th west to 98th south and to the parkway trail.  I was a little way behind them but I could see them most of the way.  I ran down the trail to106th and then up the hill and back to the cemetery.  Some of the group was still there and running up and down the hill.  I jogged from there back to my car.  I'm not sure how far I went but I am counting 5 miles.  Then I came home, worked in the yard, cleaned out the fridge, cleaned the shower, cleaned the kitchen and then cleaned up.  My daughters and husband took me to lunch for my Birthday and now I am taking the rest of the day off.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope it is a good one and that the rest of the day is wonderfully relaxing and full of good eats!
