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

Met the group at the SJ soccer fields for the early miles.  I started off early because I am so slow. They caught up with me about half way through.  They all passed me except Kelli and she stayed and ran with me the rest of the way.  Thanks Kelli it was fun to have someone to talk to.  I had to leave after the first 5k because I had to be to work at around 6am.  It was very cold when I started, especially running south.  I almost wished I would have brought a scarf, but after I turned west I was fine.

Met the group across from the fitness center to run the regular miles.  We ran out to the road and ran south to the last street and turned west and ran up the hill to Lampton.  Then we ran south on Lampton clear to the end, up and down hills and then turned around and ran back.  I started before everyone and they caught up and passed my before the first turn up the hill.  When I got to the hill and turned left as I passed the next street the group came up from behind.  They had taken a side street.  Then when we got to the top of the big hill we turned around.

I went to Leslie's house to run this morning and since we both had a lot going we decided to only run 3 miles.  We ran from her house down 40th west to 98th and back.  I wore long pants and all my warm stuff and was hot on the way out to 40th west.  We stopped just passed the light to take off our warm stuff.  Leslie stuffed them in the back of her jacket.  On the way back the wind was blowing so we got our warm stuff back out to put on.  One of my arm warmers was missing so we looked for it and found it on the way back.  After Leslie made breakfast for me and my other daughter and son-in-law and their two kids I came home and cleaned up. Then I baby sat 4 of my grandkids for about 5 hours.  It was fun to see the grandkids, but it was also nice when they left.  Two of the grandkids were two years old, one was 8 and the youngest was 9 months.  It was fun but boy was it busy.  My 8 year old helped a lot.
