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

I used the spin bike for 30 minutes.  I signed up for the Goldilocks Bike ride so I will be glad when the weather is good enough to ride outside.  I am hoping to do the 100 mile ride.

I met the group at the church on tithing hill.  I was the only one there for the early miles so I did the usual route through the subdivision.  When I got back the others were already gone so I headed for the big hill on Lampton.  I went down the hill and at the bottom I saw 3 runners coming my way.  I thought they were from the group but they weren't.  I said Hi and kept going.  When I was almost ready to turn around I saw more runners coming my way.  It was my group so when they got almost to me I turned around.  They said Hi and kept going.  When I got back to the big hill they were coming down.  I went up the hill and said goodbye so I could get to work.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I went to the early miles for my group.  I was the only one there.  It was a little slippery so I put my spikes on my shoes.  They came off after a couple of steps.  I carried them and tried to run but it was too slippery so I went home and went to work.  After work I used the elliptical for 30 minutes.
