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 did my arm weight exercises. After dinner I swam at Marv Jenson's.  I swam for an hour and did front crawl the whole time.  I stopped a few times to talk to the other people that were swimming.

Met the BBK's at the Country Crossing Park for the early miles.  There was a new girl named Marty and she was going slow so I ran with her.  I wasn't even dead after the 3 miles.  The second part of our run we ran up to Daybreak Lake.  After we got to the Lake I had to turn around and run back so I could make it to work by 7.  It was a good run and I enjoyed visiting with Marty and others.  After work and a nap I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes.

After work and a nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups.  Then I went to scouts.  (I am now the 11yr old scout leader)  After scouts and dinner I was going to swim but Leslie was still sick and I go lazy.

Met the BBK's at the park down from Tithing Hill.  There were 11 of us for the early miles.  We jogged through the park, past the other parking lot and into the subdivision.  We ran up and down the roller coaster hill and turned left into a street that turned out to be a dead end so we went north to the next street and turned left and at the end was the parkway trail.  We ran along the trail and were headed back to the place where we parked but we ran into some construction and had to walk for a minute.  Then we started off again and a little way farther the trail was under water so we had to turn around and head back and go out onto the street again to get back to the park.  Needless to say I was late for work since I had to be there at 6am, but I was only 15 minutes late.  I had a good time visiting with Michelle Putnum who was able to come since she lives close to where we jogged.  I also got to visit with Kelli and a few others.  I really enjoyed the run even if I was late to work.  After work and a nap I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes.  I'll be glad when I can ride outside again.

I went to my Triathlon class this morning without Leslie because she was sick still.  We swam 40 minutes and then got out to spin.  I had my key for my lock pinned on my swim suit but when I got out of the pool I couldn't find the key.  I looked all over but still couldn't find it so I had them cut my lock off.  The girl took my purse to the front desk while I went to the spin class.  After spin class instead of running on the treadmill I went home and took Duke on a 3 mile run.  It is so much nicer to run outside.  I got a very good workout.
