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

Ben, Duke and I did our usual walk down to the River bottoms and back.  Then I ate breakfast and took my sister the airport.  I had my sister's get-away at my sister's cabin in Heber City over the weekend.  Six of my sisters made it, one came from Indiana and one from Arizona.  Only my sister that lives in Canada couldn't make it.  After I took my sister to the airport I drove to Leslie's and ran with her.  We ran down 40th west to Sky Drive and then back to Leslie's.

Ben, Duke and I did our walk to the River Bottoms and then I went to meet the BBK's at Riverton High School.  I was a few minutes late and they had already left, but just as I was leaving Michelle came so I waited for her and we went the other direction to meet up with the group.  I had a good visit with Michelle until we saw the others coming and then I turned around and headed back.  They all caught me before we got to the neighborhood.  When we got back to the school and met the others we headed to the track.  I wasn't excited to run on the track so I looked for Debbie and when she got there we decided to run off track.  We met Eric in the parking lot and he ran with us too.  We did our normal mile run but instead of turning around we headed north and ran until just past 114th at the round about I turned around and Eric and Debbie kept going.  I thought they would catch me before I got back but they didn't.  It was a good run and I was very tired at the end.

Duke, Ben and I did our usual walk on 114th down to the River Bottoms and back.  Then I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.  The pushup weren't quite as hard this week.

Ben, Duke and I only walked 1 mile because Ben was very tired this morning.  Then I met the BBk's at the Park at the bottom of Tithing Hill and brought Duke.  We ran along the trail.  I was able to keep up with Duke pulling me.  I did 4 miles with the group and then came home and called Leslie and ran 6 with her.  I think I got a very good workout today.

It is sure fun to see how excited Duke is to go walking or running.  Ben, Duke and I did our usual walk to the River Bottoms.  Then I ate breakfast and cleaned before I called Leslie.  We didn't run until about 7:30 and we were both tired so we just did our Daybreak 6 mile course. It was a lot harder than it was on Thursday when I had already walked a mile and a half and then run with the BBK's for 4 miles before I did our daybreak course.  I'm glad I wasn't doing a half marathon.  I did sign up for the South Jordan Half that is in October so I better get ready for it.
