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 took the day off of work today so I could go up to Ogden and tend Sicily.  She has been sick and Glenn couldn't take another day off.  I went to Marv's to swim this morning before I went to Ogden.  I swam 40 laps front crawl with a couple of small breaks while I talked to other swimmers.  I had a fun time tending Sicily.  She is so cute and fun to play with.  After dinner I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups.

Met the group for the early miles.  We jogged down 2200 to 98th and then turned west towards 2700.  We turned back south into the subdivision just before 2700 and then jogged over to Bridal Oaks where we headed east back to 2200.  Then back to the school.  When we were almost to the school Leslie came running towards me.  I guess she, Michelle and Cheris were a couple of minutes late so they jogged a different course.  For the second part of our run we ran over to Prospector and did an 800 loop twice and then Leslie and I had to leave.  It was a good run and I wasn't too dead.

Met the BBK's at Parkway Palisades for the early miles.  Chris and I both got there early so we ran about .2 of a mile while waiting for the others to get there.  When the others got there we jogged down past parkway palisades to the road before 114th and then headed up through the subdivision and then through it and back around and then back down towards the park.  We went past the park almost out to 106th and then back to the park.  Duke and I were able to stay at the front the whole time.  I had to be to work at 6am so I had to hurry and leave.  It was a good run.

I was planning on swimming this morning but was sick in the night so instead I am taking it easy until I leave to go to Tooele.  I'm going out to help my oldest daughter for the weekend.  She is having a big 16th Birthday party for her daughter and her husband had to go back to Argentina because his father is very sick and having surgery.  Carrie has 9 kids, goes to school and works 30-40hrs a week as a home health nurse so she is very busy.  I'm glad I can go and help her.  We went to Denny's for dinner and I ate plenty so I hope I feel good enough to exercise tomorrow.

I'm staying with my daughter and her family in Tooele for a few days.  This morning I went to Yoga with two of my daughters and two granddaughters.  I've only done Yoga one other time in my life.  Wow it was such a workout.  It's a good thing I was able to at least do Yoga because I pigged out the rest of the Day.  It was my granddaughters 16th birthday party and we had Pizza, cake, icecream and candy.  I ate plenty.  I'm feeling a lot better but I still have quite a cough.
