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

Long-Term Running Goals:

Met the group at the trailhead on 98th for the early miles.  Cheris said in the email that we would run on the trail to 106th so I started out early.  It was dark and cold so I was glad I wore my long pants and had my; headlight.  I tried to go fast so the others wouldn't pass me too early.  I got to 106th and headed up the hill and still hadn't seen the others.  I got to 10th west and headed back to 98th.  When I got back to the parking lot and no one had passed me I thought maybe they had just stayed on the trail so I went down the trail a little ways and then turned around and saw them coming through the parking lot.  We ran north on the trail and then turned around and picked up the other runners.  We ran north again to the end to the trail and turned around and came back to the parking lot.  Then we regrouped and headed south doing 2 minutes on and 2 off.  When we got almost to 106th I turned around and headed back to the car so I could get to work.  I was glad I was able to make it 6 miles.  After running the Riverton 1/2 and finishing 1st in my age group I didn't feel to bad about being slow.  There were 6 people in my age group and the 2nd place person was 7 minutes behind me.

I took Duke on a 1 mile run and then I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.  I could only do 60 mens pushups, but I took a 30 second break and then did 20 more.

I met the group at the SJ soccer fields for the early miles.  I started off early and made it to the end before anyone caught up with me.  When they were getting back I started the other direction.  This time they caught me at 2700.  I kept going and another runner caught up with me and passed me.  He went straight and I turned.  A few minutes later he passed me again.  I said "Wow you are fast," and he said, " I hope I am still running when I get your age.  I told me he had talked to me before so he knew I was 20 years younger than he was.  I made it to the end just as the others were starting out again.  As I walked to my car I saw Kris and Debbie coming so I said Hi to them and then left.

I didn't do any exercise at all today.  I went to a research study from 7am until 4pm.  It was very interesting and we got breakfast, lunch and $200.
