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

My daughter Jenny came down from Idaho for my other daughters baby blessing, so she and I got up early and ran 10 miles.  We brought Duke with us.  It was cool and a light mist was falling, but it was the perfect running weather.  We ran down 13th west down the S curve and under Bangerter and went to Bluffdale and then turned around.  It was a good run and I  had fun visiting with Jenny.  Duke was very good.  We let him off his leash when we met up with another lady who was running with her dog off its leash.  Duke really had fun playing with it.  The other lady was 64 years old and was faster than me.  She said when she was 40 she won the St. George Marathon overall the women.  My leg didn't hurt and I wasn't dead at the end.  We ran it in 1hour and 32minutes.  After I showered and ate a bowl of cereal I drove to Jordan Landing to tend Christine's kids while she and Dan ran a race.  It was a 5K and Christine won 2nd place overall.   Walter from our running group won 1st place overall.   Then she ran the 1 mile kids race.  Walter's daugher won first place out of the kids and Rachel, Christine's daughter won 2nd place.

Great job Nancy. One of these days I hope my daughter will run with me. Are you and your daughters doing the Ogden relay again this year?
