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 

2010

Riverton 1/2 Marathon  3rd in age

Long-Term Running Goals:

Personal:

I'm married, have 8 kids (7 daughters and one son) and 28 grandkids. I have a great supportive husband.  The grandsons and grand daughters are now tied at 14.  I have 2 grand daughters married and one going on a mission to Australia.

I ran 3 miles with Duke.  I was going to run more after but I was too tired so I decided to weed for a while instead.  Now I am heading over to help feed the triplets.

I rode my bike to Leslie's house to help feed babies.   Then after I fed them I rode to Christine's house (she lives about 1/2 mile from Leslie's) and we did our 10 mile loop.  It was a good ride.

I met the group at the church up the street from my house.  Michelle was the only one that came besides me.  I got to have a nice visit with her.  She is a lot faster than me so she would run ahead and then run back to me.  I really enjoyed the run.

I went to the group run before work.  Only Peggy and Michelle were there.  We did a loop through the subdivision off 13th west and then they headed for the trail and I did a loop through tithing hill before heading home to get ready for work.

I did not run today because I wanted to see if it made my foot hurt any less.  It still hurt the same after work so I am going to run of Thursday.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.
