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 had to work at 6 am so I ran at 5am with Duke.  We ran to redwood road and then down redwood to 106th and back.  It was very cool and I wore my warm stuff.  After work Leslie and I were going to ride our bikes but I had to drive to Ogden to pick up Sicily(my granddaughter) because my daughter and her husband were too sick to take care of her.  She is such a cute girl(15 months old) and we are really having a fun time with her.

I'm still tending Sicily so I won't have a chance to exercise today.  Leslie tended her while I was at work and brought her to school for lunch.  Bridget and Glenn are still sick so I will keep Sicily one more day.  She is such a cutie and we all love her to death.

I wasn't able to exercise at all today.  I tended my granddaughter over night and for most of the day today.  She started getting sick last night and woke up quite a bit in the night.  Today she wanted me to hold her most of the day.  She is so sweet and cute and I felt so bad for her being so sick.  My daughter and her husband were feeling some better today so I took Sicily back this afternoon.

I ran 3 miles this morning with Duke.  I didn't have to be to work until 6:30.  Work was as busy as usual.  After work I took a 15 minute nap and then went to pick up a couple of grandkids.  My second oldest daughter and her husband now have the swine flu and are very sick.  I will tend her baby until bedtime.  I can't believe how fast this flu is sweeping through the family.  We all got together last Saturday and the only one that was sick stayed home.  Since then about 80% of the family has gotten the flu.  Some worse than others.  So far I haven't gotten it but I've tended grandkids that have.

I went to my Triathlon class today but I only stayed for the swim because I needed to go pick up my daughters baby.  She is still feeling very sick and her husband had to work this morning.  We swam for almost an hour and I didn't even have to lay on the side of the pool exhausted.  I won't get too much done today since I'll be tending grandkids, but I'm glad I can help my daughter.  Leslie didn't come to the class with me because she is still not feeling up to par.
