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:

Met the group at the church on 98th and 2200.  I didn't get there for the early miles, but I was a little early so when the group got back I jogged around the parking lot with them until it was time to go for our longer run.  We did some strides in the parking lot when Cheryl got there and then we ran up 9800 past Glenmore Golf Course and down the hill and up the other side.  I had Duke pulling me and I still got very tired.  Leslie and I turned around at the top of the hill and she took Duke on the way back.  Debbie caught up with me on the way back so I had a good visit with her.  I was so tired by the end I was glad Leslie came back for the last 1/8 of a mile I took Duke and he pulled me to the end.  Lately running makes me very tired.

Great job today! That was a hard run. I didn't realize how uphill it is to 4800 West.
