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 met the group at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple parking lot for the early miles.  There were 4 of us for the early miles.  We jogged past the temple heading north to 106th and then I was so far behind I didn't know where they went so I turned around and headed back.  I jogged past the temple and then up the next street and then back past the temple going north again and then turned around and went back south past the temple and up the street and then when I got back to the temple the others were there.  We started off again the same direction going north but turned west and then south and then west again and ended up at Daybreak lake.  They started around the lake but I had to get back to go to work.  I didn't have my watch with me so I wasn't sure of the time so I got back a little early and only made it 4.5 miles.  I don't have to work Thursday so I will be able to go at least 6 then.

I met the group at Bingham but I didn't go to the early miles because I don't have to work for a few days.  We did our usual loop starting at the back parking lot and then around temple view, Bonanza and then the subdivision across the street and then we did the same loop backwards.  Then for our cool down we ran north on 2200 and then around the subdivision again and back to Bingham.  It was a good run and I was tired after.  I hope the weather will be nice for a few days so I can do some yard work.

I went to Leslie's to run this morning.  She had to be to a motorcycle safety class at 8 a.m. so I went over at 6:15 and we ran 4 miles.  She marked out a new route that went from her house north on 40th west to the church on 102nd and then west all the way up the big hill to the end and then south through daybreak and then back out to 106th and back down to Leslie's.  It was a nice little run and the weather was just perfect.  When I got home I wanted to run more so I took Duke on a 2.5 miles run from my house down redwood to Walgreens and back.  He enjoyed it and so did I.
