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 was off work today so I rode my bike on a long ride.  I rode from my house to 13th west and then south to 126th, north to the frontage road past Ikea and the south past Bangerter and around the prison to bluffdale.  Then I went west to redwood and then south to camp williams.  Then I headed back and when I got to 144th I turned west and went to 27th west and turned north and then left by North Star Academy and then when I got to 3600 west I went north to 126th and then west to Mountain View Corridor and thern north to 118th and then back to redwood and home.  It was a nice ride and I got a good workout.

I met the group at Bingham for the early miles.  Michelle and Cheris were there.  We ran out to 2200 and then north.  They ran through Bonanza  and I kept going north.  I ran down the other end to Bonanza and they met me and I turned around and then we went across the street and ran through that subdivision.  Then we went back to Bingham and met the others.  We too the same route and went through the subdivision and the east side and then we went north to River Oaks and then when I got to 2700 I turned around and headed back.  When I got back my car key had fallen off the key chain so I had to call my husband to rescue me.  After work and my dentist appointment my husband and I drove back over to Bingham and retraced my course looking for the key.  It was and automatic and expensive key so we were very glad when we found it.

I went on a nice little easy 10 mile bike ride.(or so I thought)  I rode from my house to 13th west and then south.  I was whipping right along when a guy passed my like I was standing still.  I was still going at a pretty good clip and thinking this was very easy.  Then I got to redwood and turned north.  The wind was blowing hard the whole rest of the way home and I felt like a was riding up a big hill.  Anyway I made it and was glad I was only going 10.

I ran 1 mile with Duke and then I met the group at the park down the hill from Tithing Hill.  We ran along the trail.  It was a good run.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

I took Duke on a very short run and decided it was raining more than I wanted to run in so I used the spin bike for 30 minutes.
