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 didn't have time to do my arm weight exercises today.  After work I went visiting teaching and then I took a short nap.  After my nap I followed my husband down to Lindon to drop off my son's truck to get fixed.  After A I made dinner, Leslie and I rode our bike down redwood to 126th and then west to 40th west and then north to 98th, down to Redwood and back home.

I had to be to work at 6am today so I just ran at 5am and ran down redwood to 106th and back.  It's a lot harder running without Duke but I don't think he is going to be able to run for a long time.  When I got to work my daughter called and said her water broke so I left work and headed to Ogden.  I got here at 8:30 am to tend Sicily while Glenn took Bridget to the hospital.  Deklan Glenn Hoggan was born at 10:30 and mom and baby are doing fine.  He is my 25th grandchild and is just as cute as all the rest.  I will stay overnight with Sicily and come home tomorrow afternoon.

I got back from Bridget's at about 10:30 this morning.  I did my arm weight exercises.  Then I did some cleaning, went to Costco, took a short nap and went visiting teaching.  Then I went to Scouts.

I met the BBK's at the church 112th and 3200 west for the early miles.  There were just 5 of us for the early miles, me Michelle, Walter, Kelli and Julie.  I wasn't too far behind, at least I could see where they went.  We wove around through the subdivision and then back out to 3200 and then north to 106th and then back.  I turned around before I got to 106th when I saw the others coming back.  When Julie and Michelle caught up with me they said it was good I turned around because we were already at 3 miles with about a 1/2 mile to go.  More people came for the regular run.  I was tired by then and my goal was to just keep going for another 30 minutes.  I made it but was very tired.  After work I took a short nap, planted more flowers, did some filing for my husband and then went with Leslie to get her new bike.  It is a lot nicer bike and weighs about half as much as the other.  I think she will be a lot faster.  Then I came home, made dinner and took Duke for his immunizations.

I didn't have to be to work until 7:30 so I did my arm weight/stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups before work.  After work I helped Kent clean out his truck and then took a short nap.  We may ride bikes later if it doesn't storm.

We were suppose to go to a swim clinic at the Blackridge Reservoir but It was rainy and cold so we decided to go to our Tri class at Marv's.  We did the swim an spin bike and got a good workout.  Neither of us wanted to run on the treadmill and we had so much going on today we decided not to run outside either.  We have to pick up some furniture for Jenny and then make dinner at take it up to Ogden so we can see our new grandson.  We will also be excited to see Sicily and her parents too.
