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

Did my arm weight exercises after work.  After dinner I swam laps.  I swam 21 laps all front crawl.  I made it 7 laps without a break, then I swam 4 laps, had a short break, did 4 more laps with a short break then did 6 more laps.  I watched other people swim and asked them questions, so my last 6 laps were a lot easier because I wasn't kicking my legs so hard..  Leslie still wasn't feeling well enough to swim.

Met the BBK's at Parkway Palisades but was a minute late and they left before I got out of the car.  I ran along the parkway with Duke until we caught up with the group on their way back.  We met the rest of the group at 5:45 and ran over to Parkway Palisades and started up the big hill.  After one time up and down I decided I better not push my sore leg and decided it was enough for today.  After work and a short nap I rode my bike on our 9 mile course and did it in 39 minutes.  Leslie is still not up to par so I rode without her.

Did my leg weight and stomach exercises along with my 80 mens pushups. I'm trying to work up to 100 mens pushups. I think in another month I might be there. After dinner I did laps at the pool. Leslie was still not up to par so I went by myself. I made it 10 laps front crawl before I had to take a break, then I did 5 more took a break and then 5 more. I'm still waiting for the day when I look forward to swimming like I do running.

Met the BBK's at the South Jordan Soccer fields.  Duke and I were up front for the first time around, but by the second I was very tired.  We went slow and I visited with Rachel who wanted to go slow so she would be good for the Ogden Marathon.  I really enjoyed visiting with Rachel.  After the second time around my leg was starting to hurt just slightly so I decided that 6 was good enough.  After work I rode my bike on the 9 miles course.  I hope next week Leslie will feel good enough to swim and bike with me.

Leslie and I went to our Triathlon class.  The swimming was just as hard as usual.  The spinning wasn't too bad but was still hard.  The running felt good.   We ran outside along the canal.   Leslie over did it in the swimming after being sick and almost puked.  She took it easy on the spinning, but she beat me in the run.  She also ran hard enough to beat the man in front of her.  I was quite tired after our class.  I'm still waiting for the day when I look forward to the swim.
