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 and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises.  I can't do my pushups for now because my shoulder is still sore.

Met the BBK's at the SJ Soccer field for the early miles.  The only one there when I started was Aaron but I needed to be to work at 6 so I started early.  I saw the others about half way through and I got to the end about the same time.  It was a good run.  After work and a short nap I used the Elliptical for 15 minutes and the stationary bike for 15.

I met the BBK's at SJ library for the early miles.  Dean, Kelli, Scott and Aaron were there.  I started off early so I wouldn't be too far behind.  We ran east to 13th west and then south to Jordan Ridge Drive and then East to the cemetery road.  We ran north on cemetery road to 10550 South and then west back to 13th west and then south back to the road that leads to the library and then west to the library.  I was a little ways behind to the others came back for me when I got to the cemetery.  Kelli jogged slow with me until we got back to the library.  When we got back the others were just leaving but I was so hot I took off my warm stuff and took it to my car.  By then I was so far back I never did find the group.  I jogged back out to 13th west and south almost to 114th and turned down Michelle's street.  I jogged to her street and didn't see the group so I headed back to the library so I could be to work by 7.  I got a good workout and was very tired when I got to my car.

Leslie and I met the group at Bingham.  They were going 12 but we were only going 6 because Leslie has been sick.  Leslie was a couple minutes late so they started and I waited for Leslie.  It was chilly but I was glad I wore a tank top and shorts because it only took a few minutes for me to warm up.  The run was good and I wasn't as tired as the last time we did the same run.  It sure is a lot nicer to run outside.  After I got home I cleaned up and cleaned the house and then I took my daughter Christine to Olive Garden for her Birthday lunch.  It was good.
