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 did our usual Monday morning run with Leslie.  We enjoyed the run and Duke especially; liked running in the neighbors sprinklers when we got back to Leslie's.

I met the group at Riverton High for at the early miles.  We ran north and then down a street and then back past the seminary to the parking lot to pick up the stragglers.  Then we ran out to 2700 and then south to 126th and then west.  The group was ahead of me and so I didn't see exactly which street they turned on so I turned north and then a few street to the north I turned east.  I ran to the end of the street and was hoping it led to 2700 but it ended up being a circle and it circled around back to where I turned in so I ran back out to  126th and headed east until I got back to the School.  When the rest of the group got there we did a 1 mile warm up run and then did speed work on the track.  My goal was to keeping going the whole time.  I couldn't run very fast but I did keep running.  After I ran a couple of mile I walked one lap and then ran a couple more miles.  It was a good run and I was very tired at the end.

Yesterday afternoon I did my leg weight/stomach exercises.  Along with 60 mens pushups, a 30 second break and then 30 more.

This morning I ran 3 miles with Duke.  I enjoyed the run and Duke loved it.  Then I went to a storage auction and then to the splash park with two of my daughters and their kids.  It was fun.

Leslie has a sinus infection so I ran with the group.  We met at Centennial Park in Riverton but I was a couple minutes late for the early miles and they had already left.  Luckily Michelle Margetts was late too so we both went the other direction to catch them.  We ran out to 134th and then west towards 3600 west.  We ran and visited for about 15 minutes and didn't run into the rest of the group so we decided to turn around and head back.  When we got back Dean was there but the others weren't so we turned around and saw them coming.  We did the same loop two more times but I turned around at 3600 and headed back and got back at the same time as the group both times.  It was a good run and I was very tired at the end.
