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 leg weight/stomach exercises along with 75 men's pushups.  After dinner Leslie and I swam.  I still wasn't feeling the greatest so I only swam 1/2 and hour.  I did 10 laps.  Took a break to cough for a while and then did the swim drill where you do three strokes front crawl, flip over and do two back stroke, flip over and do 3 front crawl and alternate all the way back and forth.

Met the BBK's for the early miles.  Duke had to stop and use the bushes a few times and I wasn't feeling good enough to run and catch up with everyone so after they got too far ahead I turned around and headed a different direction.  We eventually got back to the school and I was so wiped out and had a headache so I decided that 3 was good enough for today.  I took a nap and then did 30 minutes on the stationary bike.

I did my arm weight exercises.  I was too lazy to swim.

Since the BBK's were meeting in Herriman I didn't have time to drive that far so I was going to Leslie's to run.  When I called her at 5:30 she had a sore throat so I just ran with Duke.  We ran down Redwood to 106th and back.  After work and a short nap I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes.

Leslie, Duke and I were going to run the Riverton 1/2 marathon course today but since we were both still a little under the weather we only went 7 miles.  We started from my house, ran down 13th west to Lampton and then followed Lampton almost to the big hill and then ran down to the trail to the Park then we started up Tithing Hill and turned and ran through the condos and then back out and up to 13th west.  Then we followed 13th west to the South County Pool and turned around and headed back.  It was a good run and I wasn't super dead but I did have few cough attacks and a little bit of asthma at the end.
