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

Long-Term Running Goals:

This morning at 5am I went on a 1 mile walk with my son.  Then I came home, ate breakfast, and cleaned the house before I called and woke Leslie up.  Today we tried a new 3 mile course.  We ran from Leslie's house to the canal and followed the canal south to 114th and then ran up towards daybreak and then turned around at the 1.5 mile mark.  On the way back we saw Michelle, Cheris and Julie coming the other direction.  It was a good run, but it was already getting hot.  After our run I helped Leslie put together the sishkabobs for our BBQ.

I met the group at Riverton High for the early miles.  We did our usual course and I started out early so I almost made it to the end before they caught me.  Then we did a mile warm up when the others got there and then ran on the track.  I was very tired at the end. It was good to see Rachel there again.

After I got home I ate breakfast, changed and weeded for and hour.  Then I cleaned the kitchen and did a good clean on my laundry room and cupboards.  Then I ate lunch, took a nap and made a run to DI.  Then I did my leg weight/stomach exercises and 50 pushups, 30 second break and 25 more.

This morning I walked 1 mile with Ben and then I went to the temple with Leslie.  Then I came home and did some cleaning and went to help Christine.  She is 7 months pregnant and already getting labor pains.  I helped clean her house and watch the kids.  Then I came home and took a nap and did my indexing.  After dinner I rode bikes with Leslie.  We did our usual daybreak 8 mile course.

This morning at 5am I walked a mile with Duke and Ben and then I came home and made breakfast and did some cleaning.  Then I called Leslie and woke her up so we could run.  We did our usual 6 mile daybreak course.  It felt very hot.

This morning I slept in clear until 5am, then Ben, Duke and I walked a mile.  After our walk I made breakfast and did some cleaning. At 6:45 I called and woke up Leslie, but she wanted to sleep a little longer so I called back at 7am and then went over to bike with her.  We did our usual 8 mile daybreak course.  Leslie doesn't love biking like I do.  She thinks it is harder than running.  I think it is way easier and I could go a lot farther and faster but I am glad she will ride with me.  Now I need to get packed up to go to our family outing.  We our going to Crystal Hot Springs and all of our kids and grandkids will be there except my oldest.  We will miss them but I"m sure we will have a nice time.
