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

Since our running group didn't meet this morning, after work and a short nap I used the elliptical for 15 minutes and the stationary bike for 15.  It sure isn't as much fun as running outside, in fact it isn't fun at all.

After work I took a short but much needed nap since I woke up at 3:30 am and didn't get back top sleep.  After my nap I did my arm weight exercises.  Then I cleaned the house, made dinner and ate dinner.  Then I used the elliptical for 15 minutes and the stationary bike for 15 minutes.

Met the group for the early miles.  I was the first one there but shortly after two cars pulled in.  When I saw them get out I got out and it wasn't runners it was a couple of guys going across the street to meet their ride to work.  I got back in my car and waited a few more minutes and when no one came I started out.  I ran down 2200 from 98th to 106th and back.  When I got back I saw a few more cars in the parking lot so I figured some other runners had come.  I ran back out to 98th and then west on 98th and then back to the church. The others still weren't back so I started running south on 2200 towards 106th again.  I saw some other runners coming north on 2200 and ran towards them.  I knew it was runners from our group so I turned around and headed back to the church.  When we got back Peggy said they were a few minutes late and had run south on 2200 and then they turned and ran through prospector so that is where I missed them.  When the later group got there we ran to 98th and then west to 3200.  I visited with Kris Bullock along the way.  When I got to 3200 and turned around and headed back.  It was a good run and I was only cold for the first mile.

Met the group at 7am at Cheris's house for our long run.  They were going to do a 7 mile loop two times but I was only going to do it once.  We ran through the subdivision and out to 118th and then up and north through another subdivision and then out to 114th and then up to the next street and then west to 2700.  Kris Bullock went slow with me.  We crossed 2700 and went west through another subdivision.  She and I were a ways back so we got lost and eventually went out to 118th and then back down to 2700 and then north to 126th and then west to 3200.  We ran north down 3200 and met Lisa Dudley and her friend running the other direction.  She stopped and talked to us for a minute and then we continued on.  We ran north to 118th and then east to redwood road and then south to 123rd and back to Cheris's house.  We ended up going 9 miles.  It was a good run and I had a nice visit with Kris.  It was very nice of her to go slow with me.
