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

After work I took a short nap and then I weeded for a couple of hours.  Then I made dinner and rode my bike over to Leslie's and then we rode the big block. Leslie is a fast running but a slow biker.  She thinks biking is very hard and I think it is very easy.  I appreciate her biking with me even if I have to go slow for her.  I did ride fast on my way to her house.

The group was meeting too far from me today because I had to be to work a 6am so I ran down to redwood and then north to 106th.  When I was almost to Wingate I noticed a van going slow past me and then it stopped on the road by Wingate so I turned around and headed back home.  Better to be safe than sorry.

I rode the spin bike for 30 minutes because it was too cold to ride outside.

I met the group at RHS for the early miles. I ran the usual course through the subdivision and then when I got back to the school I ran along 27th south to 126th and then up a few blocks and then turned around and went back.  When I got back the others were there for the regular miles and I said Hi before I left.  I have to be to work at 6am the rest of the year because my boss's husband is int he hospital so she won't be back until next school year.

My daughter Jenny was here from Idaho so she came with Bridget, Leslie and I to the Gr8 run.  We all had a lot of things to do and Bridget had her two kids in the double jogger so we decided to just go three miles.  Bridget wasn't feeling up to par so I pushed the jogger most of the way.  We got a good workout.  Then Leslie and I rode our bikes on an 8 miles course finishing at my house so Leslie could help her Dad(my husband Kent) check their beehives.  Leslie is learning how to take care of them and will eventually take the hives to her house.
