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

We went to my daughter Jenny's house in Idaho for a baby blessing and baptism.  Their church didn't start until 2:45 so Ben, Spencer and I went on a 2 mile walk around the farm.  We didn't walk around the whole farm because they have 3000 acres, but we got a good walk in.

I met the group at the church on 114th and 3300 west.  We ran all around the subdivision and then came back for the others.  Then we did some 400's and 800's and then I had to leave to go to work.  Rachel was there and it was good to see her.  I got a good workout.

Met the BBK's at the church off 124th and 13th west.  We did our warmup going north on 13th west past the church and then west through the subdivision and then south out to 126th and then back to where we parked.  I was a little bit behind the others and they ran 1 street past the turn off but I just turned and headed for the church where I met Michelle M coming out to 13th so she turned around and we ran past the church and around the parking lot and back and then out where we met the others.  For our second part we ran down tithing hill to the parkway trail and ran south for 2 miles and then turned around and headed back.  The others went north again but I had to get to work so I jogged back up Tithing Hill and came home.  I was tired, but I made it all the way up the hill without stopping.

After work and a short nap I weeded for an hour and then took Duke on a 2 mile brisk walk.  Duke doesn't walk slow but he did stop a few times to sniff weeds and mark his territory.We walked from my house to the canal road and then down the canal road for a mile and then back.  It was very beautiful weather and we saw a lot of Ducks.

Leslie and I met the group at Julie's house for the second part of the run.  Most of them had already run 10 miles.  We headed out through the subdivision and out to 118th.  The group continued on down to 2200 and north, but we decided to go west up 118th.  We continued west for 3 miles and then my son called to tell me about a storage auction that we wanted to go to so We turned around and headed back to Julie's house.  I ran a lot faster on the way back than on the way up because it was downhill.  It was a good run.
