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 work.  After dinner Leslie and I went to Marv's to swim.  I stopped at Smith's on my way and bought a new lock.  This time I got a combo lock.  I swam 30 laps front crawl with a few short breaks.  Leslie swam 40 laps with almost no breaks.

Met the BBK's at Peggy's for the early miles.  Marty was there so I went slow with her the first 3 miles.  The second 2 miles I was at the front most of the way with Peggy and Mike.  When we got to the hill a slowed way down.  When we got to the top of the hill they all regrouped to do 400's and I headed back to my car so I could get to work.  I really enjoyed the run.  It's so much fun to have lots of people to run with.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups.  Instead of swimming, Ben, Becca and I went to Leslie's with Angie and Chrissy and made sugar cookies for Valentines Day.

Met the BBK's at the church by tithing hill.  There was quiet a group.  We started off and then circled the church to wait for the slow people.  We decided to run through the neighborhoods because Lisa said the trail was still very torn up.  We headed down the big hill and I notice that Marty was there.  We were close to the front after the big hill but we both slowed down and everyone went ahead.  I was faster than Marty so I kept turning around and going back for her because I didn't want her to have to run alone.  When the group got to Lampton they turned and so did we so we were in the lead for a few minutes.  Eric caught up with us so we ran with him for a few minutes.  It was a good run and I enjoyed visiting.  I had to leave quick to be to work at 6.  After work and a nap I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes.  Leslie was too tired to swim after work and I was too lazy.

Leslie and I met the running group at the park in Riverton.  There were lots of people there.  Some we haven't seen for a long time like John the Iron man and his friend and Jameson and Kurt.  There was also a new guy that Kelli brought name Jose.  The group was doing the full 13 but Leslie and I didn't want to go that far because she has had bronchitis and I still get tired.  We ran out to 13th west and the group stopped to head north.  Leslie, Duke and I headed to the South County Pool and headed down to the Parkway trail from there.  There were a few spots on the trail that were under construction and we had to walk over hoses and around holes but for the most part it was pretty good.  We let Duke off his leash and he loved it.  When we got to the water tower there were lots of runners coming from the other direction so Leslie put Duke back on his leash and held him.  We went slow and steady and I didn't get too tired.  Leslie was just a little way ahead but after the cemetary road I caught up to her along redwood and we stayed together until we got back to the cars.  None of the group caught up with us.  It was a good run.  Next time we do a long run we will do the whole 13 mile course.
