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

Met the group at the church on Sky Drive.  I didn't go to the early miles because I don't have to work any more this summer and I knew I would be too tired to stay for all the regular miles if I went to the early miles.  Also I brought Duke and he can only run 6 miles or he will get a sore leg.  We ran up Sky Drive to 4800 and then we did the 1 mile loop.  I was very tired by then and couldn't see where the group went, but luckily Michelle M and Jameson were late and came running up behind me.  Jameson went one way to look for the group and Michelle went the other.  I followed Michelle on Sky Drive.  When she turned around so did I and then Jameson came running and said he had found them back the other direction.  I followed them and we went to the Gully and crossed the Gully.  By the time I crossed the Gully I wasn't sure where they went but I continued on to Daybreak and then turned left and went back out to 102nd and down the big hill.  On my way down I say Greg coming up.  When I got to 40th west I headed north back to Sky Drive and to the church.  When I got there the others were there.  We talked for a minute and then some of them were going to run more.  I was too tired to run so I came home.  After breakfast I weeded for a while and then voted and then weeded some more.  I am taking a break for about 30 minutes and then I will weed more.

I got up early and went to the temple.  When I got back I rode my bike on the 6 mile route.  I rode fast because I needed to be home to tend my two youngest grandsons.  I rode the course in 20 minutes.  Then I tended two crying grandkids for 3 hours.  They are 15 months and 10 months and they are both Mommy's boys.  I survived and now my house is a wreck.  Now I am going to Peoa to pick up my daughter with the broken leg.

Met the group at the ROI Park in Riverton.  Duke and I didn't go for the early miles.  Dean led us today.  We started off heading north on the parkway trail.  We ran for about a mile and then turned around.  Duke and I kept up most of the run and I was very tired.  Then we ran south on the parkway trail.  We ran for about 15 minutes and then turned around and headed back.  I was very slow and very tired but I made it back to the cars.
