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

This morning before work I used the Elliptical for 15 minutes.  After work and a short nap I rode my bike on the 6 mile route.  I really enjoyed the ride and got my heart rate up.  It took me just over 20 minutes to ride the 6 miles.  Then I did my arm weight exercises.

After work and a short nap I used the spin bike and did my leg weight/stomach exercises.  I didn't do my pushups because I hurt my shoulder yesterday while I was carrying a 5 gallon paint bucket.

I ran with Duke this morning for the first time in two weeks.  My foot only hurt the first few steps.  It felt so good to run again.

I ran two miles with Duke this morning.  We both enjoyed it.  Then I rode bikes with my friend Shannon.  We rode to the prison, through Bluffdale, back to South Jordan then to Daybreak then past the lake, down to 40th west and then north to 98th, east to 2200 then south to 118th and then west to Redwood Road and home.  It was a nice ride and the weather was beautiful.  Then I changed my clothes and headed to Leslie's house.  I helped her fill the dumpster and then came home at took a nap.  After my nap I went back and helped her paint her house.  Boy am I glad we are done.  I have been helped every night for the past week.
