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

Leslie and I ran the steeplechase training run.  There were about 200 people there.  Leslie ran ahead of me and finished at least 5 minutes ahead of me.  We took a 5 minute break and drank some water and I ate my candy and then we headed back.  We ran/ walked back up to the start.  I was pretty tired and Leslie went slow for me.

I met the BBK's at the trailhead on 98th.  I was a minute late so only Michelle M and Cheris were there.  I ran with them for a few minutes until I couldn't keep up.  When I got past 106th and headed south I saw the other runners coming back.  I turned around and headed back.  Everyone passed me before I got back.  When I got back I was so tired I could hardly walk so I decided that 2 miles was good enough for today.  After work and a nap I did my arm weight exercises.  Leslie had enrichment and I had a temple recommend interview so we didn't swim or bike.

Leslie and I rode our bikes south on Redwood to 126th and then west to 3600, then north to 118th then west to 40th west, then north to 98th, east to redwood and then south to 114th.  It was about 12-14 miles and it took us about 50 minutes.  It sure is nice that Leslie can keep up with me now.  I'm really glad she got a new bike.  It was a very enjoyable ride.

Met the BBK's a Julie's house for the early miles.  Cheris and Kris were already running around the street while waiting for  the others so I joined them.  Then we ran a course through the subdivision, out to 118th west to the next street and then south through the subdivision and back to Julie's.  I was a way behind but just went a steady, slow pace.  I made it to the end and wasn't dead but I had to be to work at 6 so I left.  Today was my last day of work until August 23rd.

My first day off work for the summer.  After breakfast I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 70 mens pushups.  Then I went to the temple and came home and started cleaning the house.

I went to my Triathlon class and swam for 40 minutes.  Then I came home, showered and went to help clean the church.  After I was finished cleaning the church I came home and cleaned the house.  At about 10:30 Leslie and I went on a 50 mile bike ride.  We followed a lot of the same course we did for the Goldilociks bike ride.  We stopped twice to eat snacks and rest.  With Leslie's new bike she was able to keep up with me most of the time.  It took us about 4 hours.
