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

Leslie had the day off so she came over and she, Duke and I did our usual 3 mile course.  Leslie was very sore and bruised from going snow boarding so she turned around at the light at the Town Center.  It was a good run.  Now I am cleaning my house and them my husband is taking me to lunch.,

I finally felt good enough to exercise.  I used the spin bike for 30 minutes before work.

I met the group at Riverton High for the early miles.  I started off on my usual route through the subdivision with Duke.  Mike caught up with me about 5 minutes later.  He came for the early miles but was a little bit late.  I really enjoyed talking to him and catching up on his family.  When we got back to the High school none of the others were there yet so we ran past and turned in the subdivision again and the ran part way up the street and turned around and went back.  When we got back, Rachel and Carissa were there to we did the loop through the subdivision again.  Then I had to leave to get home for work.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with my pushups.  I hope everyone is having a nice Valentines Day.  I have the best husband in the world.  He is been leaving Valentines surprises on my pillow every day this week.

I met the group at the park at the bottom of tithing hill.  There were about 7 other people and it was fun to see them.  We started north on the parkway trail for our warmup and then turned around after about a half a mile and went back to the park to pick up anyone that was late.  Then we headed south on the trail.  Duke and I got behind early because I am slow and he has to pee on every bush.  We went slow and stead;y and I even made it all the way up the big hill.  Some on the others were already heading back the other way but I kept going until I was almost to bangerter and then turned around and headed back.  We kept a slow and steady pace and when we got back Michelle M was still there so I visited with her fro a couple of minutes.  It was a good run.  Leslie didn't come because she went snowboarding with her boyfriend.
