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

I rode bikes with my husband before I went to work.  I worked at Valley High registering kids for summer school.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

I met the group at River Front Park for the early miles.  No one was there when I started so I ran towards 114th and then turned around.  When I was almost back I saw Mike and Peggy running towards me.  I turned around and we ran north to the ponds and they turned and used the restrooms and I jogged along until Peggy was done and asked her which way they were going.and I headed north on the Parkway trail while Peggy waited for Mike.  I ran almost to 106th and then turned around and headed back to the park.  Several others were there for the regular miles.  We turned at Parkway Palisades and then turned north on the next street.  Debbie caught up with me because she was late.  We both turned north.  The group went on the Parkway trail and I ran on the road back to the park.  I was very tired after running only 4 miles.

Shannon's bike had a flat so before work I rode bikes with my husband.  We went 3 miles, then I rode to work which is 3 miles away and then back home after work.  Then after a short nap and visiting teaching I rode my bike to my daughter Christine's.  She lives about 2.5 miles away.  She has an old Mountain Bike and she rode her bike with Leslie and could not keep up.  Leslie is a slow bike rider so I told her the bike must not work too good.  Anyway I rode to her house and let her ride my bike while I rode the old Mountain Bike. Boy was that bike a piece of crap.  After about a half a mile I said lets turn around this bike is killing me.  Then I rode my bike home.  I am sure glad I have a nice road bike.  Christine told her husband and he said she could get money out of their savings to get a road bike.  I am glad because she and I are doing a Tri at the end of August.

Met the group at Riverton High.  I was 15 minutes late for the early miles so I just ran a mile and then came back to Riverton.  We did a mile warm up and then I did 2 miles on the track while they were doing 800's.  Then I had to get to work.

It was raining this morning so I didn't ride bikes with Shannon.  When Ben came home I rode 3 miles with him.  I rode fast because I wanted to see how fast I could go 3 miles.  I did it in 9 mins and 27 seconds.  Then we got packed up and headed to Vernal to visit my daughter and her family.

I slept in today and then Ben, my granddaughter Cassie and I took their dog on a walk around the block.  Then we all went to Dinosaur National Monument.  We had a fun time.  Then we came back, ate lunch, took naps and visited for a couple of hours before we drove home.
