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

Long-Term Running Goals:

Personal:

I met the group at the church on 123rd and 13th west.  I felt very tired.  We ran down tithing hill to the trail and ran along the trail and then back up to the neighborhood.

Ben and I ran the VOA 5K.  It was on the parkway trail at about 9th south.  It was a fun race.  I ran slow and steady like always.  The race did not start until 8:30 so I was a little bit hot but I still made it.  Ben finished 10 minutes ahead of me.  This was his first 5K and he must have liked it because he already wants to do another.

I met the group at the church up the street.  Only Cheris and her husband Andy came.  We ran through the subdivision.  I turned around after 1.5 miles so I could get 3 miles before I had to go home and get ready for work.

I went to my sister's get-away at Powder Mountain.  My sister Nina and I ran-walked up and down the hills around the condo.  She is 12 years younger than me so she was faster on the up hill but I was faster on the down hill.  We got a good workout and the view was beautiful.

My son and I went on a 4 mile hike with our friends at Fish Lake.  It was up and down the mountain.  We got a good workout and the scenery was beautiful.  We saw deer, a wood pecker, squirrel, cranes, a beaver house, butterflies, flowers and we heard a Moose or Elk running through the trees.
