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 didn't have time to run with the group because I had to be to work at 6am so I just ran my regular 3 mile route to 106th and back.  After work and a short nap I did my arm weight exercises.

I met the group at the church on 102nd and 40th west.  I was the only one there for the early miles.  I ran south on 40th to 106th and then back around the church.  There still was no one else there so I ran north on 40th west almost to 90th and then turned around and headed back.  The group had already left when I got there but I could see them running east on 102nd so I headed that way.  Part way down the street Lisa Dudley caught up with me.  We kept going east until we got to a street going north and we could see the runners heading this way.  When we were almost caught up them I turned around and headed back.  They all caught up and passed me.  There were 18 runners which is a lot for Thanksgiving.  We regrouped at the light and I headed south on 40th west.  Everyone caught up and passed me except Nicole, Michele's daughter.  I ran with her for about 10 minutes and then I had to turn around and head home so I could get my turkey on to cook.  We had a nice Thanksgiving.  We had 25 people.  Only 2 of my daughters and their familes didn't come because they were going to in-laws this year.

I picked up Leslie for the RUNGR8 run.  She was doing 7 and I was doing 5 so I ran by myself.  It is so wierd how my legs have forgotten how to run.  About the first half of the run I have to think about how to lift my legs and where to place them.  Then about half way through the run they seem to work normally again for a while and then off and on the last mile they quit working again.  I am glad that I can still run.
