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:

Did my arm weight exercises.  After dinner Leslie and I swam.  I was able to go 12 laps front crawl without a break and then I did 10 more laps without a break.  Either I'm getting a little bit better at swimming or I've just learned to go slower and not kill myself off as much.

Met the BBK's at 9800 parkway trail for the early miles.  Jody and I were the only ones that came early, but we got a good run in and I had a nice visit with Jody.  After the other people got there I jogged along the trail for 15 minutes and then jogged back to the car.  On the way back to the car I had a nice visit with Lisa who also had to be to work at 7.  After dinner Leslie and I rode our bikes our 9 mile course.  We wore sunglasses so we didn't get any bugs in our eyes.  Leslie's chain came off once, but she didn't crash.

Did my leg weight, stomach exercises along with 80 mens pushup.  I think 80 is getting pretty hard so may 100 is out of reach for now.   I'm going visiting teaching tonight so I won't be able to swim.

Met the BBK's at Bingham for the early miles.  Jody, Mike, Peggy and I had a nice visit while we ran.  I had to be to work early so I left right after we met the other runners.  After work I rode my bike our 9 miles course.  It took me 38 minutes.

Leslie and I went to our Triathlon class.  After the swim the rest of the class had their bikes there and rode their bike.  We didn't know we were suppose to bring our bikes because we weren't there last week so we drove home and went on our own bike ride. We rode down redwood to 11800 and rode up to about 60th west and turned around and came back.  It was about 9.5 miles and it took me 32 minutes.  It took 20 minutes on the way up and 12 on the way back.  We didn't run because Leslie was taking a less active to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house.  We will do a long run on Monday.
