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 didn't have to be to work until 7am so I was able to run 7 miles before work.  I ran 3 miles with Duke and then met the group at the SJ soccer fields.  I was late for the early miles but early for the late miles.  Julie got there the same time so she and I ran a mile while we were waiting for the others to get back.  Then we did our SJ 5K course the right direction.  I was already tired so I went slow.  Debbie ran with me the whole way.  It was good to visit with her and Julie.

I ran 3 miles with duke this morning and then went to meet the group.  Carissa and I ran around the parking lot while we waited for the others to return from the early miles.  We did our usual route through the subdivision and out to 126th and back to 27th and then through the other subdivision.  Debbie and Peggy ran back a couple of times to make sure I was still coming and that I was alright.  By the time I got back to Riverton High I wasn't sure where the group went so I went through the parking lot to the seminary and ran down that road.  Then it was time for me to leave.  I got a very good workout. After work my foot was very sore so I am icing it.

Duke and I met the group at Riverton High.  We only ran a short way with them.  We ran west through the subdivision to 3200 west and then north.  I turned at 114th to head home and the group kept going.  I was going to run back after I dropped Duke off, but my foot was too sore and I want it to feel good enough to run the Riverton Half Marathon next Saturday.  When I got  home I cleaned the house and then rode bikes with a friend.  I ended up running 3 miles and biking 15, but since I don't know how to separate them I put them together.  I got a good workout.
