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 after I went to the store and bought the ingredients for baked beans and got it into the crock pot I ran 3 miles with Duke. It was a nice run and It was between rain storms.  We had most of our family over for an indoor barbeque this afternoon.  It was fun.

I met the group for the early miles.  I started off 5 minutes early while I waited for the others because I wanted to get 3 miles in before I had to be to work at 6am.  There were only 4 others there for the early miles.  I'm excited to be finished with work for the summer so I can stay the whole time.  It was a good run.

I met the group at the park at the bottom of tithing hill for the early

miles.  I got there early and started running and met up with Julie who

also came early.  We ran for about 8 minutes and then met the rest of

the group.  We ran north on the trail and then up through the

subdivision and up and down several large hills.  Carissa was going

slower than usual so I was able to visit with her along the way.  I had a

nice visit and a good run and then I had to leave so I could be to work

by 6 am.

I woke up at 3:50 and laid there until 4:45 and then I got up and ran 3 miles with Duke.  Then I went to the temple.  After lunch and a short nap I planted flowers.  I'm sure glad it is finally nice weather.  I'm excited to be off work for the summer.

Leslie didn't want to get up early to run and I had to be to the church at 8 to help clean so I met the group at Julie's house at 5:30.  I started off right away because I knew they would catch me in no time.  I kept running out to 118th and south until 3600 west and they still didn't catch me.  Finally after I crossed 3600 they caught up with me.  They said they ended up waiting for Cheris.  When I got to 40th west I turned north and they kept going west.  I ran north on 40th up past the temple and down to Leslie's house.  I woke her up and waited while she got ready and then we ran back.  On the way back the group caught up with us just after 3600 west.  When we got back I had Minon's sister whose name just left my mind follow me home so I could give her my water bottle pack that I don't use.  It was a good run and the weather was perfect.
