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 did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 75 mens pushups.  Tonight Leslie and I will swim at the Blackridge reservoir.

Met the BBK's at the SJ library for the early miles.  I started back to work so from now on I will be going early.  I asked Mike what course they were doing and started off before everyone.  We ran east down to 13th west and then south and up through the subdivisions.  When I got to Michelle M's street going east I met the group coming west.  I kept going and they came out just ahead of me and they still beat me back to the Library.  We met the others and I just went down to 13th west and back and then had to head home and get ready for work.

Met the BBK's at the church on 2200 and 97th for the early miles.  I asked Mike the course we were running and took off.  We ran south on 2200 to Bonanza and then around Bonanza back to 2200 south to Temple View.  By the time I got to Temple View I was already a way behind so I turned on the first street and when I saw the group coming I turned around and headed back.  When I got back to the church I talked to Kevin for a minute and then headed up 98th.  I wanted to get a head start because I am very slow and I had to be for work at 7.  I ran up to 3200 and then turned around and headed back.  I saw the group on my way back and waved to them.  Work was very busy.  We have 100 more students than last year and 1 less worker.

I did my arm weight exercises today after work and a short nap.  Work wasn't quite as hectic today so I wasn't as tired after work.

Leslie and I did a 29 mile bike ride followed by a 4 mile run.  Instead of doing our Goldilocks course we did our 12 mile Bunners course twice but on the second time we kept going up 118th south to where it connects to 114th and then down 114th to the round about and down past daybreak lake to 106th then north on 106th to 40th west and back to Leslie's.  We refilled our ice water and headed out on our run.  We went north on 40th west 2 miles and turned around and headed back.  I saw Kris Liddell twice during my bike ride.  He was at mile 19 the second time I saw him and was almost back home.  I wasn't too dead at the end and I could have run a couple more miles.  We did the bike in 2hrs 10minutes and the run in a little over 40 minutes.  I could have gone faster on the bike but I went slower for Leslie.
