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 my bike to the school and then worked for 4 hours helping the janitors clean lockers and then I rode my bike back home.  Now I am going to take a nap and then start cleaning. After my nap I cleaned for a while and then did my arm weight exercises.

I met the group for the early miles.  We ran down 2200 to Temple View and did the usual course.  Carissa and Kris were the only ones there, but as we ran towards Bridal Oaks we met Cheris and Michelle.  Then we regrouped at Bingham and did the course again.  I did part of the course and headed home to get ready for work.  I rode my bike to work and did the 3 miles in 12 minutes but on the way back home it took 14 minutes because it was very windy.

I rode my bike to work this morning and then back home after work.  It only took just over 10 minutes to get home because the wind wasn't blowing.. After a short nap I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with pushups.

I met the group at the church on 114th and 3200 w for the early miles.  Mimi was there and Kris was already off running.  We met up with him and ran through the subdivision and the out to 3200 and toward 106th I turned around before 106th and headed back.  For the regular miles there were 7 more runners and we did the run through the subdivision and out to 3200 and back for the warmup.  Then they were doing a 3 mile tempo run but I turned around at the same spot as the warmup because it needed to get to work. I rode my bike to work and then back home again.  Then I took a nap and did some cleaning and then weeded the flower beds.

At 6am this morning Duke and I ran to redwood and then south to 126th and then east to 13th west and then north and then about a half a block before 114th we turned east and ran through Clover Ridge and then back out to 13th west and home on 114th.  It was a good run next week I will do 5 miles 3 times a week and then after that 6 and I will be ready for the Riverton 10K.
