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 and a short nap I rode my bike on my 6 miles course.  I did it in just under 22 minutes.  Then I did my arm weight exercises.  Then my husband took me to Texas Roadhouse for dinner for our Anniversary(our 41st).  It was good.

Met the group at Bingham for the regular miles.  Duke and I only wanted to 3 miles.  My foot still hurts some and I didn't want to over do it and Duke can only go 3 or he starts to limp.  We both had fun.

After work and a short nap I rode my bike on my 6 mile course.  I did it in under 22 minutes but today it seemed a little harder because the wind was blowing hard going north.

Met the group at the church on Tithing Hill.  We ran up and down the hills around the subdivision and then went down to the trail to do speed work.  We found a straight stretch that was about 600 yards so we ran fast one direction and slow back.  We did this 4-5 times and then we headed south on the trail.  When we got back to the park they kept going and I headed back to the car.  I was very tired going up the hill so I had to walk for a minute.  Even though I only stayed for 3 miles I was very, very tired.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I ran the Linda Buttars Memorial 10K at Jordan Landing.  It was a little bit cool and I was glad because after the 1st mile I started to get hot.  I have only run 3 miles twice since the Riverton Half so I wasn't trying to break any speed records.  I just kept it slow and steady.  My son-in-law and granddaughter were running the 5K and I saw them at the start but they finished ahead of me.  I had a good time visiting with people along the way.  I ran it in 1 hour and 12 minutes which is my slowest 10K ever, but I was just glad to make it to the end.  My left foot feels pretty good, but my right foot is quite sore.  I have tendonitis on the top, side part of my foot.  I decided not to bike today because I am already tired and I need to help Leslie paint this afternoon.
