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

Leslie, Chrissy, Duke, Buddy(Christine's Dog) and I went running.  We ran from Chrisine's house down 2200 to Bingham high.  It took about a mile for the dogs to settle down.  When we turned around to head back, Leslie decided she could hold both dogs.(Big Mistake)  She didn't notice the other person running the other direction with a dog.  After she finally got the dogs stopped she immediately gave Buddy back to Christine.  Then Buddy decided to trip me.  We made it back to Chrissy's house but I now have bruises and scrapes on both knees, and my arm.  I think this will be the last time we take two dogs together.

I had to be to work at 6 this morning, so I took Duke running at about 5 am.  My knees are still quite sore so we only went 2 miles.  After work I did my arm weight execises.

Met Dean and our biking group at the South Jordan Rec Center.  There were about 10-12 of us.  We rode down Redwood to 126th south and then west to 40th West.  We rode north on 40th West to 98th South and then East on 98th.  I turned south on 2700 West and went straight to work but rest of the group went back to the Rec Center.  It was a very fun ride, Thanks Dean.

After work I did my leg weight and stomach exercises along with my 80 mens pushups.  The pushups were very hard today.

Met the BBK's at Parkway Palisades for the early miles, but had to be to work at 6.  It was a good run and I got to visit with Peggy, Lisa, Rachel and a few others.  After work Leslie and I went on our 9 mile bike ride.  I was sure glad I had sunglasses on because the Knats were in full force.

Leslie and I went to our Triathlon class.  Today we met at the South County Pool.  The pool is 50 meters long so we didn't have to swim quite as many laps, but it was still hard.  For the bike ride we went down 13th west to 144th and then west to 2700 west and then north to 126th and back down to 1300 and to the pool.  The biking part is very easy for me.  Then we ran from the pool down to the parkway trail and out 1 1/2 miles and then back.  It was hot and the run was hard.  I had to walk up part of the hill.  It's a good class and I'm glad we went.
