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 met the group for the early miles at Riverton High.  Duke and I were the only ones there.  We ran the usual route through the subdivision, then we ran past Riverton High and north to the light on 118th and then back to Riverton.  The others were at Riverton when we got back.  I said hello and then I headed home to get ready for work.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

I ran 1 miles with Duke and then met the group at Bingham.  They were running on the track and Duke can't run on the track.  I didn't want him to be disappointed so I ran with him first.  There were 6 people there besides me.  Peggy, Rachel and I ran on the track and Mike, Todd and Carissa ran around the neighborhoods.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.  I took the day off because my husband is having surgery on his knee.  He is in the worst pain that he has ever been in his life.  He didn't hurt his knee, but last Saturday night he was reading and got up to come downstairs and his knee was hurting.  It has steadily gotten worse.  They tested him for gout and did an x-ray but couldn't see anything wrong.  The blood test didn't show an infection, but they are doing exploratory surgery to see what is causing all the pain.  He had knee replacement surgery on his other knee and it was painful but the pain is twice as bad with this knee.

Leslie, Duke and I ran our 6 mile course down to 13th west, then north to 106th, then north on 10th west to 98th and then west back to 13th and then south to 106th, west to redwood and then south to 114th..  It was a good run and we were 7 minutes faster than the last time we did that route.
