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

Met the group at the church on 102nd and 40th west.  I didn't bring Duke because I didn't have to work today cuz I took the day off to take my daughter in for sinus surgery.  I got there early so I ran down 40th west to the light on 106th and back.  Then Cheris and Kris showed up.  Cheris thought Michelle was on her was so we ran down to the light and then back and she still didn't come so we ran east on 102nd and through the subdivision and then back past the church and out to the light again.  Then we met back at the church for the regular miles.  Peggy came for the first time in 6 weeks and it was good to see her.  We ran out to 40th west and north to 106and then west up to day break.  I was way behind everyone and then Nancy Russell caught up and passed me and then Michelle M caught up to me.  They were both late and were glad that I was slow so they knew when we were running.  I visited with Michelle and then Peggy came back and I visited with her and then she and Michelle went ahead.  When I got at the top of Day break I turned around and headed back because I needed to leave.was glad I was able to run 6 miles today.  It was a good run.

Duke and I met the group for the early miles.  We got there a little early and ran for about 10 minutes and then Michelle, Mike and Cheris came.  We ran through the subdivision and out and back a few times and then went back to the church for the regular miles and I hurried home to get ready for work.  I'm glad I wore long pants because the wind was blowing and made it pretty chilly.

This morning at 6am Duke and I met the group at Julie's.  Kris was there so we ran up and down the street while we waited for the others to get there.  We then ran through the subdivision out to 118th then west to the next street and then back through the subdivision and back around to Julie's.  Then we ran up and down the street until the rest of the people got there.  Then the group started off and out the redwood.  They were going on a very long run but Duke can only run 3 miles so at redwood I turned around and headed back.  Then I went home and dropped Duke off and ran another three miles.  Then I came home and cleaned the house before I met my friend to go biking.  I rode to her house which is about a half a mile away and then we rode out to 13th west and then south to Bluffdale.  It was quite windy going south.  It wasn't too cold but the wind made it hard to pedal.  I enjoyed visiting as we rode.  When we got to Bluffdale we rode out to redwood and rode home on redwood.  It was a good ride and I really enjoyed it.  We plan on riding every Saturday because we both signed up for the Goldilocks ride.  Since I don't know how to add my biking miles I just put them with my running miles.
