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

After work and a short nap I rode my bike on the 10 mile course.  I rode fast because I didn't have to wait for anyone.  It was a good ride.  Then I picked beans and made dinner.  After dinner I will bottle the beans.

Met the group at the church on 2200 and 98th.  I was late for the early miles so I just ran west on 98th and then back to the church.  For the regular miles we ran south on 2200 and then back to 98th and then we did a loop through the subdivision.  We saw a lot of Bingham Cross Country runners including Michelle  M's son.  The group turned south on 2700 and I turned north and ran to 98th and then back to my car.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.  Then I picked tomatoes.  Tomorrow I will make salsa after work.

After work and a short nap I rode my bike on my 10 mile course.  Since I was riding alone I rode fast and was able to do it in 35 minutes.  Then I came home, made dinner and made Salsa.  Then I went to my daughter Christine's and rode our 12 mile bike course with her.  She isn't as fast as I am so we did it in just under 1 hour.  I realized while I was biking that I'm beginning to love biking the way I use to love running.  I can bike twice a day and then I really do not feel very tired.  When I was younger it was that way with running.

Met the group at the South Jordan soccer fields.  I was late for the early miles but early for the late miles so I ran 1 miles before the rest of the group got there.  We were doing mile repeats up Rustic Road but we first ran up Canterwood to 2700 and then north to Rustic Road.  We ran down and then up and then I ran down again and then back to the soccer fields.

Leslie and I went to the Run GR8 run and I ran slow and steady for the 5 miles.  Afterwards we went to the shake place across the street for a free protein shake.  We both got strawberry banana and it was very good.
