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

Met the BBK's at the South Jordan Libray for the early miles.  I kept up for the first part of the run but got behind half way through.  Duke helped pull me along but I still got tired.  The second 3 miles I was even more tired and slow.  I talked to Eric for a while but then I was too tired to keep up with him.  I really don't know why running gets me so tired even when I go slow.  When the group turned to go towards Dean's house I kept going straight along 13th west and then back to my car.  I was so tired I barely made it back.

Met the BBK's at Bingham for the regular miles.  I didn't have to work until 7:30 so I didn't go to the early miles because I knew I wouldn't make it the whole time.  We ran all over creation--through the subdivision across from Bingham, down to Redwood, then back through the subdivision and out to 2200 then past the equestrian park and to our 5K course.  When we got to the place where we usually turn down we kept going straight on 2700 and did the horseshoe circle and back to bridle oaks and down to 2200 and then back to Bingham.  The group kept regrouping which was very good for me because I was so slow and tired even with Duke pulling me that I wouldn't have even seen them.  I was very glad to make it to the end.

Met the group at a park in Bluffdale.  Leslie was sick so I brought Duke.  We ran around the park once and then back to the parking lot to pick up the strays.  Then we went east to2200 then turned south and then after that I'm not sure where we went but we kept running for quite a while.  Duke and I started out in front but I started getting tired very early and slowed down.  Allen was going slow so we ran the rest of the run with him.  The rest of the group was a ways ahead but we could still see them.  It was nice to be able to go slow and still have someone to visit with.  When we got back to the park Allen's garmin said 7 miles and the group was starting out on the next part of the run.  Allen was tired and was going to stop, and I was tired but wanted to go 1 more mile so I ran a time or two around the park to make it 8 miles.
