| Location: South Jordan,Ut,USA Member Since: Jan 11, 2009 Gender: Female Goal Type: 5 K Finish 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 was just getting ready for the BBK run when Leslie called and said it was cancelled because of the cold. Duke and I went out the door and ran 2.5 miles. It was a little cold for the first half mile but after that it was just right.

| | I ran 1 mile with Duke and 2.65 miles without him. His leg was a little bit stiff and I did not want to make it more sore. It was a good run.

| | I went to run group a little bit early. Mike and Peggy were there. I ran up to 1300 and back twice and then Michelle came. We ran to Tithing Hill and then back to 1300 and then the rest of the group came. We ran on the street that goes south on Tithing Hill and then down to the trail. We ran along the trail and came out in a neighborhood. The we headed back to the church. Duke and I ran up the big hill and did not see the others so we ran out to 1300 and then north past the church and then west up to the other church and back. When we got back the others were just coming out of the Tithing hill subdivision. After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

| | I ran 2.8 miles with Duke and then I dropped him off at home and ran another 1.2 miles. My husband filmed Duke howling at the window while I was gone. I don't want to take him more than 3 miles because it will make his leg sore.

| | I met the group at the church up the street from my house. I was a little bit early so I ran from the church west to the light on 3600 and then turned around and ran back past the church to the light on 3200 and then back to the church. When I got to the church Michelle was coming down the sidewalk. No one else was there yet so we turned around and ran west to the other end of the parking lot and ran through the parking lot. When we got the our cars we noticed that two other people had gotten there but there had already headed out. We ran through the subdivision and I told Michelle to go ahead and catch the others. I ran through the subdivision to 3200 and then north to 106th. When I got to 106th Michelle and the other two runners were heading back on 3200. When I got to 106th I turned around and headed back. When I got back to the car my phone said I had run 3.95 miles. I did not bring Duke today because he had a sore leg. After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

| | Duke and I met the group at the SJ Soccer fields. I did the 5k course going south and they did it going north. We met in the middle. When we got back they were going one more time but I had to get to work. After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises and pushups.

| | Duke and I met the group at the church on 102nd and 40th west. We ran north on 40th west to106th and then back and then we ran east on 102nd and then back. Then the rest of the group came and we ran south on 40th west. They all went to 114th but I turned around at the top of the hill by the temple because I had to be to work at 7. After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

| | I had to be to work at 6am so Duke and I ran at 5am. We ran west to redwood and then south past the light on 123rd. I thought I had gone far enough to make it 3 miles but my phone said 2.86 so that will have to do for today. After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

| | Duke and I ran from my house out to redwood and then south to 123rd and then we turned around and headed back. I dropped Duke off and then went east on 114th to 13th west and then south to the church. Then I turned around and headed back. I went 5.15 which is the most I have gone in about a year. I want to do a 10k this year so I am working back up to 6. Duke can only go 3 because his leg gets sore if he goes any more. He was sad when I went without him and stood at the window howling. My husband took a video of him howling.

| | It was nice enough weather that I rode my bike outside. I rode my usual 6 mile course. I sure love riding outside better than using the spin bike.

| | I met the group at Hobby Lobby in the District. I was about 10 minutes early so I ran around the parking lot with Michelle, Peggy and Mike. When the others got her we ran through the subdivision across from the district and then out across 118th and through that subdivision. Then I had to turn around and head back so I could be to work at 7. It was a good run.

| | I had to be to work at 6am and did not wake up early enough to run my usual 3. Duke and I did our usual route south on redwood but we turned around at the light on 126th instead of going farther.
