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 Duke and I went to Leslie's to run.  We ran north on 40th west and then turned west into the subdivision across from the church.  We ran west for a while and then turned south until we came to 106th and then we went east to 40th west and back to Leslie's.  Duke was so excited I could hardly hold him back at first.  Leslie was surprised how fast we went with Duke pulling me.

This afternoon I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with mens pushups.  I did 60 then took a 30 second break and did 25 more.

I was going to sleep in this morning and then just go to running group at 5:45, but I woke up at 4:30 and couldn't get back to sleep.  There were 5 of us at Peggy's for the early miles.  Lisa Dudley was there today and it was great to see her.  We did a loop through the subdivision and out to 13th west and then back through the subdivision and eventually back to Peggy's to meet the others.  About 8 others came for the regular workout.  We did a partial loop through the subdivision and then met back at Peggy's where we did laps around her block for the rest of the time.  My goal was to just keep running until the end.  I had to walk for a few minutes before my last 3 laps because I got a pain in my foot like I have been getting lately.  After I walked the pain went away and I did my last 3 laps visiting with Debbie because the rest of the group went to do hills.  It was a good workout and I was very tired at the end.

After Leslie got off work she and I went on our first bike ride.  We rode from her house up around daybreak and back.  The weather was perfect and it was a nice ride.  We went 8 miles.  Next time we'll go farther.

This morning before I ran with Leslie I was thinking of going to running group but since Leslie and I were running 6 I changed my mind.  It is a good thing I didn't run with the group first because felt very tired running 6 with Leslie.  We did our 6 mile daybreak course.  Maybe it was because we didn't run until 7 so it was a little warmer, any way I felt very tired running and was glad we were only going 6.

I came home and did some cleaning and then helped clean the kitchen at the church, then I did indexing had lunch and a nap.  Then I got out my cushions for our patio furniture.  Now I am going to do my arm weight exercises and then make dinner.

I ran 3 miles with Duke at 5am this morning.  Then I ate breakfast and did some cleaning before I went to Leslie's ride bikes.  We did our same 8 miles course as last time.  It was pretty chilly this morning biking.

This morning I went to Leslie's and we did our 6 mile daybreak course.  I was just as tired as I was the last time we did it.  We saw them setting up for the Daybreak Triathlon and we weren't even sad that we were not doing it.  It was a good run and we both had things to do today so we didn't have time to do a longer run.
