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

Duke and I met the group at the SJ library for the early miles.  We ran all around through the subdivisions and back.  It was a good run and I enjoyed visiting with everyone.

Duke and I met the group at Bingham High for the Thanksgiving Day run.  We only ran 3 miles with them and then I had to get home to put the Turkey in the oven.  I was going to run more with Leslie later, but we both got lazy.  We had a very nice Thanksgiving dinner at noon with All of my kids and grandkids except one daughter and her family who went to Minnesota to be with her mother-in-law.  We had 34 people here and it was a lot of fun but crowded.  Next year if everyone comes we will have to get one more table.

Today I did my arm weight exercises.  Tomorrow I am running the Santa race with 4 of my daughters and granddaughter.  I'm sure it will be fun except for having to wear a full Santa Suit.  I will be roasting by the end.

I met the running group at Julie's for our Saturday run.  Eric and I started off early because I am so slow and he thinks he is slow.  I had a good visit with Eric.  We ran from Julie's to the Riverton Park to do the 10K course.  Since I was running a race this afternoon I turned around at 3 miles and headed back to Julie's.  It was a fun run.

This afternoon 4 of my daughters, 2 son-in-laws and 4 of my grandkids and I went to Ogden and ran the Santa run.  We all met at Bridget and Glens house in Ogden and then went to the race from there.  It is called the Santa run because everyone in the race is wearing a full Santa Suit.  There were about 1000 Santa's.  We were closer to the back so it took a long time to actually start running.  I ran with my Granddaughter Rachel who is 11 years old and is on the cross country team at Hawthorne Academy.  She got tired a few times so we walked, but most of the time she was able to keep up with me.  We had a good time running together and at the end we sprinted and passed up five or six people.  Then we walked back to our spot for the parade.  We really had a fun time and got some cute pictures of all of us in Santa Suits.  If I knew how to put pictures on this blog I would put a picture of all of us in Santa Suits.
