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 and then Leslie came over and we went running.  It was a little slippery so we went slow.

I met the group at the SJ Soccer fields for the early miles.  I got there early so Duke and I ran up and down the street.  Then Michelle C got there and we ran up and down the street until Julie and Cheris got there and then we ran up and down the street until Michelle M got there and then we ran out to 2200 and up to Rustic Roads and then to 2700 and over to Canterwood and back down to the Soccer Field.  It was a good run.

Duke and I went early to meet the group so I could run at least a mile before they came.  We ran from the park to 114th and back and then half way to 114th and back and then Michelle, Cheris and Julie came.  We ran to the street before 114th and then up and around the block and back down and then over and back and then I had to leave to get to work.  It was a lot colder than I thought it was because the wind was blowing.  It took me a couple of miles to warm up because I wore a tank top and shorts.

After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises.  I didn't have time for pushups so I will have to do them on Saturday.

I ran a half a mile with Duke and then came home and cleaned the house before I called Leslie.  I went to run by her house.  She  had a sinus infection and wasn't feeling too good so we decided to just run 4 miles.  We got to the 2 miles point and turned around and then Leslie got a call from work.   She was on call so we had to take a shortcut back.  It was a good run but I would like to have gone farther.  Next Saturday  we plan on running the Riverton Half Marathon course.
