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 work and then back home.  It took me 12 minutes to get there and under 10 to get home.

Met the group for the early miles at a church in Daybreak.  I was the only one there for the early miles so I started off with Duke and then saw Kris come running up.  We turned around and headed west and then north and then west again and made I large loop around and back.  Then we met the others.  Cheryl was in charge and there were not many other people.  Debbie didn't want to run fast because she had a pulled muscle so I ran with her.  We were going to run up to Daybreak Lake and around.  After we got up the street a ways Debbie decided that her pulled muscle hurt too much so we just ran back to the church.  After that we both went home.  I didn't ride my bike to work because I needed to hurray home to get ready for my nephew's wedding at the Salt Lake Temple.  It was a very nice wedding.

I met the group for he early miles at the parkway trail on 98th.  Peggy was the only one there.  She, duke and I ran south along the trail and ran to 106th and then turned around and headed back.  On the way back Julie was jogging towards us.  We got to the parking lot and kept going on the trail because we still had 4 minutes.  We went north on the trail for about a half a mile and turned around.  For the regular miles there were about 10 other people and we ran north on the trail to the end(about a mile)and turned around and headed back.  Then we went south on the trail and I ran about a half a mile and turned around and headed back so I could get to work by 7.  I rode my bike to work and then back home after work. After my nap I did my arm weight exercises.  I got a good workout today.

I didn't have to work today so I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with my pushups and then I rode my bike on my 6 mile course.  Some of my kids and grandkids are coming over at 10 and we are going on a hike.

Met the group at Hamiltion Park in Bluffdale for the run.  Duke and I ran out to the street and down a ways while waiting for the others.  Only Julie and Cheris came.  When they got there we ran to the first street and then up past Cheris's house and then back out to the 3600 and then headed south until the street turns east.  We ran east for a while and then took a street south until it ended.  Then Duke and I turned around and headed back.  Next week I will start running 6 miles each time.
