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

This morning before work I ran 3 miles with Duke.  It was a nice cool run and we both enjoyed it.

Met the group at the SJ soccer fields for the early miles.  I knew the course so I started off early so I could get back the same time as the others.  The second time around I started early also because I wanted to get in 6 miles before I had to go home and get ready for work.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.  Only 6 days left of school/work and I'm very excited to be off for the summer.

I thought the group was meeting at the Riverfront Park so when I got there a little Early I jogged around the park for a mile.  When no on came I drove to the other park. And then I ran and ran. And I ran some more. And then....I ran some more. Thus the 6 miles.

Did I mention, I love my daughter Leslie? She is super cool even if she sleeps in most of the time instead of coming to running group. She does run, but getting her out of bed is like waking up a zombie. Perhaps Leslie really is a zombie. In that case, it's no wonder she hasn't found a husband, she'd probably eat him for breakfast. Then she would give real meaning to breakfast in bed.

And I am so glad school is almost out. I plan to run, and bike, and swim. But no, I'm sure you're all wondering, I do not go skinny dipping. I prefer to swim in bathing suits.I also prefer to run in clothing. I don't usually run naked.

Someday when you are all old like me, if you keep running, you will get grandma buns of steel. All the old granpas in the world probably check me out and think, "what a hot young thing". And the ones who never ran who think that, are probably 10 years younger, but they look like they're 80.

Thank goodness for running. It keeps me young and healthy.

It appears that my daughter Leslie finished this while I was visiting with the home teachers.

Actually what happened is I read the email wrong and went to the wrong place.  I ran 3 miles at the Riverfront park and then came home and ran 3 miles with Duke.  After work and a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.  I did 60 mens pushups, took a 30 second break and did 25 more.

This morning before work I ran 3 miles with Duke.  It is so much easier to run in the mornings since I always wake up early and by the time work is over I'm too tired and lazy to run.

Leslie didn't want to run early and we both had things to do so we did our 6 mile daybreak course.  It was perfect running weather.  There were lots of people running, walking and biking.  About 5 miles in as we were coming down 106th I got a sharp pain in my foot and had to walk for about 3 minutes before it went away.  I think is was just a pinched nerve.  It was a nice run.
