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

Met the BBK's at Centennial Park for the early miles.  We did our usual route through the subdivision and then turn west on the street before 126th and then out to 3600 West.  The group turns south and I turn around and head back.  When I get back to the parking lot I keep going south until I see the group coming and then I turn around, that way they don't have to wait for me for the next part.  I did the same thing for the other part only instead when I got to the parking lot I headed home to get ready for work.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with mens pushups.  I did 50 and took a 30 second break and did 30 more.

After work and a short nap I took Duke on a 3 mile run.  We both enjoyed.  Then I planted the flowers I got for Mother's Day.

Met the group at the church on Tithing Hill.  We did our usual warmup and I started out early.  The group caught me fast, but Greg started later and when he caught up with me we slowed down and talked to me.  It was nice to have someone to talk to.  For the second part we ran down tithing hill to the parkway.  We then ran south to 126th and turned around because there was water over the trail and then we went north to 114th.  I turned around when I had run 20 minutes of the second part so I could run back to my car and get ready for work.

We went to visit my daughter Jenny Friday after work because my husband sold his extra scissor lift to her Father-in-law and we delivered it so we could visit with Jenny and her family.  We had a very nice visit with her, our son-in-law and the 6 grandkids so it was worth the drive.We got up this morning had breakfast and visited for an hour and then headed home.  When we got home, we ate lunch and then Ben, Duke and I went on a 2 mile walk.  My son is really out of shape and is going to start walking to get into shape.  We had a nice walk.
