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 had to be to work at 6am so before work I got up and ran 3 miles with Duke. It was nice and cool and felt good.  After work and a short nap I spent a couple of hours weeding my flower beds while the weather was still nice.

I had to be to work at 6am so I went to Bingham about 15 minutes early and ran a mile before the others got there.  When they got there we ran temple view, bonanza and Bridal Oaks.  I turned around part way down Bridal Oaks and headed back.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

I didn't have to work today because I took the day off for my grandson's Birthday.  I woke up early so I ran about 5 am with Duke.  It was a nice cool run.  I'm glad I ran early because it was only a drizzle and later it was raining hard.  I did a lot of cleaning and then went to the Living Planet Aquarium with my daughter and her family.  Then we all came back here for cake.

I met the group at the church on Sky Drive for the early miles.  It was raining when I drove there and I wasn't sure anyone would show up.  There were 5 other crazy people that showed up for the early miles and two more for the later miles.  I was pretty soaked, but I wasn't hot like sometimes.  It was a good run.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with my pushups.  For some reason I can only do 50 mens pushups, take a 30 second break and do 25 more.  I used to be able to do 75 straight so I must be getting weak.

Leslie and I along with my son-in-law and granddaughter ran the Linda Buttars Memorial at Jordan Landing.  There were several hundred people and it was timed with a chip.  I started off slow and easy and Leslie darted ahead.  I kept up with my son-in-law and granddaughter until about 3/4ths the way through the 5K and then I went ahead.  My granddaughter is only 11 years old so she did the 5K.  For the 10K you just do the course twice.  The second time around I was getting a little bit hot and tired but not  too bad.  I won first in my age.  When Leslie got to the end she ran the 1 my race with my other granddaughter who is 5 years old.  Leslie was tired and hot by then and needed some water.  Anna ran almost the whole way.  It was a good race and I enjoyed it.  I was very proud of both my granddaughters.
