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 BBK's at 5:15 at Bingham.  It was very snowy and cold.  The roads were a little bit slick so I went very slow and after the first 3 miles decided to stop.  I didn't want to reinjure my muscle before the Riverton 1/2 marathon on Saturday.

We got to the Riverton 1/2 marathon about 15 minutes before the race started and stayed in the car because it was cold outside. We got out about 5 minutes before the race started. I decided to wear shorts and a tank top because I get hot when I run. Waiting at the start of the race I almost froze to death. Eric and Alan came up behind me and said "Nancy are you crazy, don't you know with the wind chill factor it's only 20 degrees." At that point I decided I must be crazy. After the race started, it only took me about 5 minutes to warm up and after that I was glad I only had a tank top and shorts. We (Leslie and I) decided to bring Duke with us to the race and I'm very glad I did. He really helped me and he loved the run. I made it to the end in 2 hrs 12 minutes which is my slowest 1/2 Marathon yet, but it was a very hard course and I still took first place in my age group. I visited with a lot of people along the way and got a very good workout. Boy am I sore today.
