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 did my arm weight exercises after work and a short nap.  After I got dinner ready Leslie and I rode our bikes.  We rode South on Redwood to 118th and then west on 118th to Highway 111.  It took about 45 minutes to get up to Highway 111 and about 25 minutes to get back home.  Leslie wasn't quite a tired today so I only had to stop a couple of times and wait for her.  It was very windy but luckily it was at our backs on the way up and blowing southwest on the way back.  After dinner Kent, Ben, Becca and I went bowling for family night.  Boy am I a crappy bowler but we had a lot of fun.

Met the group at the SJ Library for the early miles.  I had to be to work at 6am so couldn't stay longer.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 75 mens pushups.  I have scouts before dinner and since I have tomorrow until Monday off I am taking the rest of the night off from exercise.  Tomorrow I will run and swim, Friday jog with Leslie and Saturday swim and then a long bike ride.

Went to meet the BBK's for running group.  It was a blizzard and I drove all over the place and didn't find the church they were meeting at.  I came home ate breakfast and used the Eliptical and stationary bike.  My daughter switched the TV in the exercise room and lost the remote for the converter so all I could stand on the Eliptical while staring at the wall was 10 minutes.  Then I did 30 minutes on the stationary bike in my room while watching channel 2 news.  I'm glad I don't have to exercise indoors every day.  Leslie and I will probably swim today after she gets off work.

Duke and I met Chrissy at Leslie's house and we ran 4 miles.  I was going to swim after but decided to go to the temple instead.  Then I came home and spent a few hours cleaning.  I'm going to get my car washed, spend some time in the greenhouse and then drive out to Tooele to pick up some of my grandkids.

I went to my Triathlon class and Leslie slept in.  The class was hard but good.  We swam 40 minutes did the spin bikes 40 minutes and then when the class used the treadmills I went home and got Duke and ran 3 miles with him.  After I got home I ate breakfast, had a bath and cleaned the house.  Then we had a family Easter party at Leslie's house.  We ate Pizza decorated Eggs and had an Easter Egg hunt in Leslie's yard.  Leslie really went hog wild with all the Eggs, candy and toys she got for all the grandkids.  We all had a fun time.  After a short nap I took the grandkids back to Tooele.
