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

Since I was off work today I went swimming this morning.  I swam 40 laps front crawl with a 30 second break after 30 laps.  I think I am starting to get better at swimming because I'm not as tired now after 40 laps as I used to be after 10.  Leslie had an eye infection so she didn't swim.  After I swam, cleaned up and cleaned the house, Leslie, Becca and I drove to Ogden to take Bridget and Sicily to lunch.  I don't know if I was more excited to see Bridget or Sicily.  I haven't seen them since Christmas.  We had a fun time.

Met the group at the Park in Riverton for the early miles.  We ran from the park through the subdivision and out to 3600 West and then south.  Marty and I were at the back so when the group turned around we were at the front.  It was a good run.  For the second part we divided into two groups.  One group did speed work and our group did a longer run.  We did the same course as the early miles but instead of turning around we kept going down to 134th and then turned east.  On the street before 2700 we turned north at ran through the subdivision to the park.  The group was going to do another 2 mile run but I had to leave.  After work and a nap I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes.  Tonight I have my scripture study group and then I'll watch American Idol.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups.  Leslie and I were too tired and lazy to swim.  It's a lot easier to swim when I can do it earlier in the day.

Met the group at Julie's house for the early miles.  We did a 3 mile loop through the neighborhood, out to 118th back through a neighborhood, out to 126th east for a ways and then back through a neighborhood to Julie's.  Then for the main workout we did a 1.5 mile warmup and then we started at Julie's to do a 3 mile run.  I only wanted  to go 2 miles because I had to be to work at 7 so they told me where the mile mark was.  When I got to the mile which was 118th I started back towards Julie's.  Somewhere in the subdivison on the way back I got lost and couldn't find Julies house so I ran out to redwood road and south to 124th and turned towards Cheris's house and then found Julie's.  I added and extra 1/2 mile to my run.  Duke and I got a good workout.  After work and a nap I did my arm weight exercises.

I went to my Triathlon class without Leslie because she was going to a women's conference.  There were lots of people at the class.  I am finally faster than a few people.  We swam for 40 minutes than did spin for 40 minutes and then I came home and took Duke for a 3 mile run.  I was tired after but not dead.
