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 Parkway trail on 98th.  I went early so Duke and I could run a mile before the others got there.  We ran up the hill to 98th and then west to 13th west and then back.  Mike, Kris and Nancy R came for the early miles.  It was quite chilly (22 degrees) but I was warm by the time the others got there.  We ran north on the trail until we got to the end of the trail and then turned around.  Then we went past the parking lot and headed south.  I left before the others started back because I needed to be to work by 6am.

Thursday morning I ran with Duke before work because I didn't have time to meet the group and be to work by 6am.   After work Kent, Ben and I headed for St. George to stay with our friends that live in Kayenta for 3 days.

I ran from Joyce's house up towards the red mountain.  I followed the road up until it curved around and followed it around until I came to a fence, then I turned around and headed back.  Half way back down I met my friend Joyce running up so I turned around and ran back up with her we turned left before we got to the top and circled back to the main street.  I enjoyed running with her.  It was cool but not cold. (32 degrees)  After I showered and got ready to go to the Dinosaur Tracks Museum we saw runners coming down Joyce's street.  We watched for about 25 minutes and all the runners were women.  We looked it up on the internet and it was the Run Like a Girl 5K and 1/2 marathon.  It made me wish I was running in it.  We had a fun time.  Sunday we went to church with them in Gun Lock and after dinner headed home.  We had a nice time but it is always nice to get home.
