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 Shannon we did our usual course except instead of going all the way up 144th to 3600 we turned on 2700 and went north to the next street and then west to 3600.  While we were on that street we saw a red fox and a doe with a baby fawn.  That really made our day.  Then we rode on 3600 to 118th and then north to South Jordan Middle.  After work I rode home.

I was a little bit late for the early miles and Peggy and Mike had already left on the run.  I ran along the road to 114th and then back and did this twice which makes 2 miles.  Then the others were there for the regular miles.  We ran to Parkway Palisades and then did mile repeats up and down the big hill.  I made it up and down twice for 2 miles and then headed back to get ready for work. After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

Shannon and I did our regular bike ride but we didn't see the fox or the doe and fawn today.  She dropped me off at mile 14 for work.  After work I rode the 3 miles home.

Met the group at Riverton High for the early miles.  Cheris was the only other person there.  We did our usual 2 mile course through the subdivision.  When we got back to the High School Rachel and Melanie were there.  We were doing a 1 mile warm up through the subdivision and then doing speed work on the track.  Since I had to leave early I just did the 2 mile coure through the subdivision and then headed home to get ready for work.
