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 met Shannon and we did our 10 mile course.  Then I went with my husband, kids and grandkids over Butterfield Canyon where we met my oldest daughter and her husband and family for a picnic.  They live in Tooele so they came from that side and found a spot for us.  We cooked hot dogs and hamburgers and had salad and dessert.  It was good and we had fun.  Then Kent and I drove Becca back to Peoa.  Her surgery is tomorrow and then her husband will bring her back to our house for the week.  He works very long hours and doesn't want her home alone.

Met the group at Riverton Park.  We ran part of the 10K course.  I had to be to work at 7am so I was able to run 3.5.  My foot is starting to feel better so I will slowly increase the miles.

I took the day off to help my daughter that just had surgery.  I woke up early as usual and after breakfast did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.  Then I got her breakfast and then rode my bike on my 6 mile course.  I did in in 21.37 minutes and got a good workout.  Then I weeded for an hour.  I could almost get spoiled and probably will when school is out.

Met the group for the early miles at the SJ Soccer fields.  Only Kris and Aaron were there.  Duke and I started off early and about half way through they caught me.  We kept plugging along and made it back before the group started.  Greg was in charge today and we ran down to Redwood and then back to the soccer field and then I left.  I got a good workout and at work a got a very good workout because we cleaned.  My arms and shoulders are sore now so I am not going to do my arm weight exercises today.

Duke and I ran 4 miles this morning and then I had a garage sale.  After the garage sale my daughter Christine took me to El Farol for lunch.  It was very good.
