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

Last night when we got back from visiting our grandkids in Tooele my foot started hurting.  It ached all night and most of the day at work.  I went to the Dr. after work and they did an xray.  It is not broken but they think I might have a stress fracture.  I guess I will just being doing weights and swimming for a couple of weeks.  After dinner tonight I did my arm weight exercises.

My foot is still hurting quite a bit but it might be slightly better than yesterday.  After Leslie got off work we swam for about 40 minutes.  We did front crawl the whole time.

My foot is feeling a lot better today and it has only hurt a few times.  After work I took a short nap and then went to help Christine.  She had her surgery a week ago and is still feeling quite weak.  I cleaned for about 2 hours and then came home.  After dinner I did my leg weight and stomach exercises and 70 mens pushups.  In a little while I will go visiting teaching.

Leslie and I went to ride our bikes this afternoon.  We started down 114th to redwood and we were riding past the Tack and Feed store and Leslie went to turn onto the sidewalk and crashed.  She didn't break anything and didn't get run over but she was scratched and bruised.  We walked our bikes back home and I used the eliptical and stationary bike.  I'm glad she didn't get hurt any worse.

Leslie and I went to our Triathlon class today.  We swam 40 minutes, biked 40 minutes and then Leslie had to leave so I did the Eliptical for 15 minutes.  It didn't hurt my foot so Tuesday I will try running again.  The class was hard but I wasn't as dead afterwards as sometimes.  Then I came home and cleaned the house.
