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 wasn't able to do my arm weight exercises after work because I tended my grandson while my daughter went to the temple.  After Leslie got off work we rode our bikes on the usual course down Parkway Palisades along the trail.  On the way back from the trail as we were almost to the big hill on Parkway Palisades Leslie yelled that she had a flat tire.  I stopped and we called Kent to rescue us.  While we were waiting I notice that I had two thorns in my front tire when we took them out my front tire went flat.

Met the BBK's at a park in Herriman but didn't go to the early miles.  I was able to stay the whole time because I took the day off work to tend Christine's kids while she had sinus surgery.  We ran a loop around the park and then ran out 2.5 miles along a trail through Herriman and then back and another loop around the park.  I was very glad I wore a tank top and shorts because I got very hot.

No exercise today.  I went to the Doctor instead of work and now I'm on a RX for bronchitis.

Today I feel so weak that after I sit up for 1/2 an hour I have to lay down for 1 hour.  My cough isn't as bad as yesterday.  I guess I won't exercise until Monday.

I didn't do any exercise today but I actually felt good enough to stay up for several hours before I had to lay down.  I think by Monday I should be able to exercise again.
