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 I took a short nap and then rode my bike to the person I needed to visiting teach.  Then I rode from there south on 13th west to 144th and then out to redwood and then north back to 114th.

I  met the group at the church in daybreak.  I was the only one there at first so I ran out to 114th and then up 114th to the bridge and then turned around and headed back.  When I got back Peggy was there so I ran with her for another 10 minutes and then headed home.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I did the Goldilocks Bike ride.  I was going to go 60 but the weather was very bad.  Right when I started out it started pouring.  I rode from Butter field park out to the Mountain View Corridor and then north to 90th.  I passed a few people and one girl caught back up with me a couple of time at the lights.  I wasn't sure where I was suppose to go after I got to 90th, so I headed east and never saw a sign to turn so I kept going to redwood and then I turned south.  It poured the whole time and I was frozen and soaked so when I got to 114th on redwood I turned and went home.  That was by far the worst bike ride I have ever had.  I took a hot bath and then my; husband drove me back to get the car and my lunch.
