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 rode bikes with my son down to his work at the district.  Then I rode back home.  I really got a good workout on the way there because it was all up hill. On the was back I mostly coasted.

I had to be to work at 6 so instead of meeting the group I just went running at 4:45 and ran from my house to redwood and then north to 106th and back.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.  Then I spent several hours weeding.

My husband  and I drove to Oakley Idaho after work on Friday.  We are taking my daughter and her husband to the Twin Falls temple and then to lunch on Saturday.  We started doing this with each of our married children.  After the first two my husband got a knee infection and had to have an operation so be took 4 months off but we are now on track.  Friday night we visited my daughter, her husband and kids and then Saturday morning she and I got up at 5:30 to run.  She went slow for me and we had a very nice visit.  Then we cleaned up and went to the Twin Falls temple.  It is small but very beautiful.  Then we went to Panda Express for lunch.
