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

After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 50 mens pushups.  I don't know why I couldn't do more but next time I'll try for 75.  Then I used the elliptical for 20 minutes and the stationary bike for 25.

Today was the most freezing day I have run this winter.  I met the group and Bingham for the early miles.  Peggy, Mike and Julie were there.  We headed north on 2200 and I felt like I was in Antartica with the wind and snow blowing in my face.  We turned west at the first neighborhood and it was a little less freezing that direction.  Then after that block we went north again.  Cheris caught up with us there and Peggy went slow with me.  Peggy and I went east in the next neighborhood and went around that block and then back to Bingham.  Only two other people came for the regular miles.  I told them to go ahead and I would turn around at 15 minutes.  We went back to the one neighborhood and after I ran through it I headed back.  When I got out to 2200 I met Jerry (Julie's husband) he had run from his house to Bingham.  I told him which way the group went and headed back to the parking lot.  I was so glad to be finished running.

After work and a nap I did my arm weight exercises.  It's a good thing I am going to running group tomorrow because tonight I went to Costco with my daughter and she bought me one of those delicious Ice Cream Bars that are dipped in chocolate and rolled in Almonds.  They must be about 2000 calories but boy are they good.

Met the group at Bingham for the early miles.  Only Julie, Aaron and Mike were there.  The temperature was colder than Tuesday but it didn't feel as cold because it wasn't windy.  I was cold for about the first 1 1/2 miles and then I warmed up.  Jerry and Peggy came for the regular miles.  We ran through Temple View, Bonanza and Bridle Oaks the first time and the second time we skipped Bridle Oaks and went straight on 2200 to 98th.  The group kept going and I turned around and headed back so I could be to work by 7.

After work and a short nap I decided to take Duke for a short run.  It has been almost a year since he hurt his leg and he seems to be doing pretty good.  We ran out to redwood and down to the light at SJ park and back.  He really enjoyed the run and he wasn't limping after so I am going to start taking him on 1 mile runs every other day.

Leslie and I got lazy today and only ran 3 miles.  She wanted to finish up the framing in her basement and I was just lazy.  We ran down 40th west to 98th and back to Leslie's.
