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

After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.  Then I had to spend a couple of hours cleaning because I had 6 of my grandkids stay with me over the weekend so I didn't get any cleaning done..  If I had done some cleaning you wouldn't know it because they mess things up faster than you can clean.  It was worth it to have them here.  We had a good time.

Met the group at the park at the bottom of Tithing Hill for the early miles.  We ran down the trail and then up into the subdivision and then up and down hills until we got back to the park.  Running up the hills sure got me tired.  Then we did a 15 minute warmup run along the trail.  Then we did a tempo run back and forth along the trail.  I had to leave after 40 minutes of the regular miles but I sure was tired.

After work and a short nap I took Duke on a 1 mile run.  Then I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 75 mens pushups.  I did 50 and then took a 15 second break and did 25 more.

I met the group for the early miles at the park next to Lifetime fitness.  There were only 5 of us for the early miles.  We ran past 114th to the last street and then up to Lampton.  I ran south on Lampton until I saw the others coming back and then I turned around.  Only one other person came for the next part.  I was feeling very tired because I got woken up too many times in the night.  My husband has a hard time sleeping because he has to do so much physical therapy on his knee that by nighttime it hurts too much to sleep.  For the second part I just turned around at 114th and the rest of the group ran on the parkway trail.

I went to Leslie's this morning to pick up our Bountiful basket and then we ran our daybreak 6 mile course.  The wind was blowing and it was a little bit cool but I was still glad that I wore a tank top and shorts.  We saw Peggy and Mike running south on 40th west as we ran north.  It was a nice run I neither of us was too tired at the end.  I hope we are ready for the Riverton 1/2 next Saturday.
