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 went to Leslie's and we did our run from her house up to daybreak lake and around the lake and then back to Leslie's. She stayed with me for most of the run but at the end she ran ahead.  I decided that it doesn't matter if I am slow as long as I can make it the whole way.  After lunch and a nap I will do my arm weight exercises.

I met the BBK's at the Bingham track.  Rachel was there so I ran around the track with her.  After a few laps of warmup we ran 2 laps and walked one.  It was nice to visit with her and it's hard to believe she can run faster than I can when her baby is due tuesday.  At 5 pm Leslie and I went to Blackridge Reservoir to swim.  We did a circle swim around the edge of the reservoir.  We stopped once to rest.  It is sure a lot harder swimming in open water.  It was a good swim.  Maybe next time we will go twice around.

Met the Bunners at the Rec center for our bike ride.  There were only 5 of us but we had a good ride going our usual route.  Leslie and I didn't swim or bike after she got off work because my daughter's ex husband died and we had she and all the grandkids over for the night.

I went to Leslie's house to run.  We only went 3 miles because Leslie had to be to work early.  It was nice to talk to Leslie and go over ideas of what we can do to help our 4 grandkids whose father just passed away.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with 75 mens pushups.  Then I had my daughter and her 9 kids sleep over so I made a very large dinner.  My other daughter came with her 4 kids also but they didn't sleep over.

I got up to go to my tri class.  I thought it was at the South County Pool so I decided to just ride my bike there.  Leslie had some of the older grandkids sleeping at her house so she decided to sleep in.  When I got to the South County Pool no one was there so I just rode back home.  Then I was going to go on a short run but my son decided he would ride a bike with me.  We rode down to redwood and turned the corner and he told me he wasn't feeling well so we came back.  We were all going to the South Jordan parade so after that I didn't have time to do any more exercise.  The parade was long but good.  All the kids had fun.  Then I went to the store and bought more groceries and had everyone over for a Barbecue.  My youngest daughter and her husband and two kids came too.  Everyone was excited to see her new baby.  It was a lot of fun but it was really wild city.  Even though we used paper plates and cups I've still loaded the dishwasher 3 times today.   Everyone finally left at about 4:30 and boy is it quiet now.  Kent, Ben, Leslie and I went to Kneaders for dinner.
