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

This morning I went across the street with my husband Kent to run around the field.  It is about a quarter of a mile.  He had a knee replacement last February and the other knee scoped.   He wants to run the Riverton fun run so he is just starting out.  Then after I did some cleaning I went to Leslie's and ran 3 miles with her.  It was very chilly running north because the wind was coming from the north, so after we ran that way past two streets we turned around and went the other way.  It was a good run.

I went to the church on 114th an 3300 west to meet the group for the early miles.  Apparently the rest of the group is whimpy and thought it was too cold because I was the only one that came.  I ran until it was time for the regular miles and still no one came.  I got a good run in and wasn't too cold.

Met the group a little early for the run.  Duke and I ran down the street and then  back to see if anyone came.  No one came so Duke and I ran down 13th west almost to 114th and then back.  I talked to the others when they came for the later run and then hurried home to get ready for work.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.  I did 50 pushups, took a 5 minute break and then did 50 more.  I also used the stationary bike for 10 minutes.

This morning I met the group at Julie's house at 5 am.  I only went 2.5 miles with Julie, Cheris and Michelle because I was running with Leslie at 7.  I was very glad I changed into shorts and a tank top because it felt very warm to me.  My thermometer said it was 48.  Leslie and I ran through the subdivision across 118th and up to daybreak, around the lake and back the same way.  It was warm going north and was glad I had on shorts and a tank top.  On the way back the wind was blowing hard and it started to rain.  By the time we got back I was getting cold.   Leslie and I went 7.5 miles.  It was a good run and I was very tired and cold at the end.  I came home and took a long hot bath.
