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

This morning I rode bikes with Christine.  We did our usual 12 mile course.  We stopped to take a drink from our bottles and as Christine started out she tipped over on someone's garbage can.  She did not get hurt but we got a good laugh.  It was a good ride.  After lunch and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I met the run group at Sprouts.  We ran north past the temple then I turned around and ran back and then ran to 118th and back until the group got back.  It was a good run but sad to have to run without Duke.

Today was a sad day.  I ran without Duke because he was sick.  I went the 3.5 mile block.  I thought about Duke the whole time because I  knew today was his last day on the earth.  My husband said he watched out the window when I left and whinned.  When I got home I gave him lots of loves and then we took him to the vet to get put down.  He had cancer and was getting to where he could not even get up.  From now when I run I will think of Duke and the great running partner he was.

Today as I ran I thought of my sweet Duke and how much I loved him and miss him.  He loved running even more than I did.  I am so grateful that I had him for almost 10 years.  He was the most handsome dog I ever knew and had the sweetest personality.  I know he is happy now running with a healthy body.
