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

Long-Term Running Goals:

Duke and I met the group at Bingham.  We started off running to the neighborhood just north of Bingham on the right side.  We did a loop through the neighborhood and then another loop.  Then we did a tempo run through Temple View, Bonanza and the same neighborhood across.  By the time Duke and I got back they were already starting the next part of the run.  We could see them running north on 2200.  They turned on Bridal Oaks.  We could still see them at the end of Bridal Oaks as they turned south on 2700.  Duke and I turned around and went east on Bridal Oaks, back to 2200 and then to Bingham.  When I was almost back to Bingham I saw one of my co workers going north on 2200 so I stopped and talked to her for a few minutes.  I was very, very tired.  Then I went home and date breakfast and rode my bike to Leslie's and then went on a bike ride with her.  We rode from her house up 126th to 3600 and then north to 118th and then up 118th to the Mountain View Corridor.  We rode south on the Corridor and then turned around at the bridge and headed back.  We rode east on 118th and at 2700 Leslie turned south and headed home and I kept going east to Redwood and then home.  I think I got a very good workout today.

Shannon was not feeling well this morning so I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups instead of biking with her.  Then I did some cleaning and weeding before I called and woke Leslie up.  Then I rode my bike to her house and we did a 6.2 mile ride and then I rode home.  I live 2.5 miles from Leslie.  She is a slow bike rider, but I rode fast to her house and fast back home.

Duke and I did our 6 mile South County Pool course.  We went at 5:45 and it was already getting hot.  It was a good thing there were sprinklers for Duke to drink out of because by the end I didn't have any water left.  I went slow and steady and I was still very tired at the end.

I met Shannon at 6am to ride bikes.  We did our usual 8 mile course.  She was very speedy today and we did in in under 30 minutes.  Then I came home and weeded and then did my arm weight exercises.  Then I went with my son, my daugther Bridget and her two kids and two of my other grand kids on a hike to Ensign Peak.  We went early so it wasn't too hot yet.  We had to carry Deklan part of the way.  It was fun.  The view from the top is awesome.

I ran to Leslie's with Duke and then she ran back with us.  I thought it was only 2.5 miles and that I was even slower than usual, but on the way back Leslie had her GPS watch and it was actually 3.2 miles.
