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 today I did my arm weight exercises then I cleaned and made dinner.  After dinner Leslie and I went to Blackcreek Reservoir to swim.  We swam back and forth across the Reservoir 3 times.  This time my wetsuit zipper didn't come down so the swimming was easier than last time.  We rested about 1 minutes before swimming back and forth.  We figured it was about 200 meters across so we swam 600 meters.  I swam frontcrawl most of the way but once or twice I did sidestroke and backstroke.

Met the BBK's at Bingham for the early miles.  We ran down 2200 to Bonanza Circle and did the regular route.  Duke and I stayed up pretty well.  Then when we got back to meet the other people we ran down 2200 to Rustic Road, up and down the road, north on 2200 then East on the next road and back to Bingham.  It was a good workout.  I had to be to work by 7 so I didn't stay for the rest.  After work I took Ralphy to lunch at Olive Garden.  After dinner Leslie and I will ride our bikes to Ralphy's to have cake and Ice Cream and and then ride home.

After work I was too busy to do my Leg weight exercises.  I took a short nap and then made salsa, after that I ground up all my plums to make plum leather, then I cleaned up the mess and swept and scrubbed the kitchen floor and then made dinner.  After dinner Leslie and I went to Blackcreek Reservoir and swam.  We swam across and back twice.  We figured it was about 200 meters across so we swam 800 meters total.  I was pretty tired.  Then I cleaned up and went to a baby shower.  Then I went to the store to get groceries and started packing for my trip.  Tomorrow after work I am flying to Witchita Kansas to meet my sister.  Then she and I are driving to Louisville, Kentucky for my other sister's son's wedding.  I think it will be fun.  I'm excited to see both of my sisters.
