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 my 70 mens pushups.  After dinner I met Leslie and Marv's to swim.  She had to hurry so she only did 15 laps. I stayed and did 30 laps.

I met the group at Riverton High for the early miles.  Duke and I kept up for the first part but were at the very back by the end.  I was very tired.  Then I did the mile warmup before I had to leave.  Before dinner Leslie came over and we rode our bikes.  We rode down redwood to 118th and then west on 118th to 36th West.  It was a lot of fun.  Riding outside is so much nice than using the stationary bike.  We would have gone farther but Leslie had to be to a Relief Society meeting.

I did my arm weight exercises.  Leslie and I didn't swim because I had a Scout meeting at 6pm that lasted until 8.

Met the BBK's at the church on 124th and 11th west for the early miles.  We ran down tithing hill to the parkway trail.  We were running along the trail when Cheris screamed.  She hit a plastic fence and knocked it down.  We all jumped over it.  The trail got rocky and uneven for a while where they were doing construction.  We jogged along the trail for a while and then jogged back up into the subdivision.  Going up the hill Michelle M caught up with me.  She had gotten there late.  She said she had twisted her ankle when she got to the rough spot.  I'm glad it didn't hurt bad enough that she couldn't run.  The hill got me very tired.  Marty finally caught up with me and I ran with her the rest of the way.  We got back to the church to pick up the other people.  I stayed for the 1 mile warmup and then had to leave.  Jogging along through the subdivisions in the dark really makes me loose my bearings.  It's hard to tell which direction I am going.  During the warmup run I ran along with Kris Bullock and neither of us could tell where we were going until we got back to 13th west.

This morning I ran 3 miles with Duke and then I went to my Triathlon class.  After a hard swim and spin class I came home.  I ran early because I am having a sister's lunch at my house at 11 am and needed to finish cleaning and making the lunch.  Becca and Leslie helped me with the lunch and it turned out nice.
