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 didn't exercise at all today.  I tended my youngest granddaughter over night and she didn't want to sleep.  I got about 4 hours of sleep.  After work I took a short nap and went and picked up my granddaughter from Angie who tended her while I was at work.  I sure hope she sleeps better tonight.

I was still tending my granddaughter so I wasn't able to meet the running group.  I got a little more sleep but not enough.  My daughter came and picked up her little girl at 4pm.  It was a lot of fun taking care of her but it sure wears you out.  Leslie and I rode our bikes after Bridget picked up Sicily.  We rode out to Kennecott and back.  It only took us 54 minutes to get to Kennecott which is about 10 minutes faster than last time.  I rode behind Leslie until we got to the big hill so I wouldn't get too far ahead of her.  It was a good ride and a lot of fun.

I did my arm weight exercises after work and a short nap.  Then I had scouts and went to the temple.  I had two nephews that were going through the temple.  They are both going on missions.

I had to be to work at 6am so I ran with Duke before work.  I didn't want to go too far with him because he has had a sore leg and been limping since our run last Saturday.  I went from my house to Redwood and north to the light at the city center about 1/4 mile from the light on 106th.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 75 men's pushups.  We are not swimming or biking after Leslie gets off work because she is taking me to the Melting Pot.

I didn't exercise a all today.  I took the day off work and went up and tended Sicily while Bridget and Glenn went to her graduation.  She graduated with a dual major of Early Childhood development and Elementary Education.  I had fun tending Sicily.  Tonight Kent and I went to Red Robyn for dinner.

Leslie and I went to our Triathlon class and only stayed for the swim.  Then we went home, ate some yogurt and got ready to go biking.  We did a long bike ride.  We did the prison loop and then instead of coming home when we got to 118th we turned west and rode out past daybreak and back.  I could have gone farther but Leslie was getting tired.  I am counting the miles on my running blog because I don't know how to put in biking miles and I don't want it to look like I haven't done anything.
