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 rode my bike on my usual 6 mile course.

I thought the group was meeting at Bingham to run on the track, so I got there early and ran up and down 106th until it was time to start.  No one came so I ran east on 106th to redwood and then north on redwood to 98th and then back.  When I got home I checked my email and found out we were meeting at Riverton High not Bingham.

I did an abbreviated ride because when I started it was already sprinkling and I did not want to get soaked.

When I got up to feed the cows this morning it was 45 degrees, so I wore a tank top and shorts to running group.  At least I had my gloves, arm warmers and head band.  There were only 4 others there.  We headed down the big hill on lampton.   We kept going on Lampton until we got almost to the end.  The others were heading back so I turned around too.  They were going back the same way, but I didn't feel like running up the big hill so I went out to 13th west and ran south back to tithing hill and then east to the church.  By the time I got back I was soaked.

Three of my daughters, a son-in-law and one grand daughter and I ran the Kick Ash 5K this morning at Wheeler's Farm.  Several other daughters and grandkids were going to run but the snow and cold kept them away.  Luckily it stopped snowing by the time the race started but it was very muddy and cold.  I kept a slow stead;y pace and all my; family was ahead of me.  After about a half mile I could see my youngest daughter up ahead so my goal was to catch her.  I caught up to her and we stayed together for the first mile and a half and then I pulled ahead and beat her by about 30 seconds.  It was a fun run.  I think I was 48th out of about 100.  The wet cold weather kept a lot of people away.  It was a free race and we got neat shirts.  My grand daughter won a $50 gift card to Scheels.
