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 woke up at 5am, ate breakfast and did some cleaning and my arm weight exercises.  Then I called Leslie and woke her up and we ran 4 miles.  It was a good run and I enjoyed it.

I met the group at the church on 114th and 33rd west.  I didn't go for the early miles because I was able to stay for the full hour of the regular run.  We started out running up 114th to Lucas way and then went north and weaved through the subdivision out to 3200 and then north past 106th and then all around those subdivisions.  The group kept circling back and picking me up or I would have been completely lost.  I stayed for the full hour and I think I ran 5.5 miles but I'm not sure.  I am very sure that I was very, very tired at the end.  It was fun to run with the group.

I did my leg weight/stomach exercises along with my pushups.  Then I went to the Zoo with some of my kids and grandkids and walked all over for two hours.  It was a lot of fun.

I met the group at the church on tithing hill.  We ran out to 13th west and right into the next subdivision.We did a loop twice.  On the second time around I was way behind, but Debbie got their late and caught up with me.  We thought they kept looping so we did the loop again and couldn't find the group so on our third time around we headed down the hill and ran to Lampton and ran north to the end.  Then we turned around and ran back to the top of Lampton going the other direction.  We still didn't see anyone from the group so we did a loop around the Tithing Hill Condo and up the big hill.  Just as we got to the top we saw the group coming out of the Condo's and heading up the street so we headed that way.  Then then turned around and we all headed back to the church.  I was very tired but I really enjoyed the run.  I'm glad Debbie came late so I had someone to run with.

I used the elliptical for 15 minutes and the stationary bike for 15.  Even watching TV I think it is very boring, but at least it is exercise.  I wouldn't have the discipline to do an hour or two on any indoor exercise machine.

Yesterday my foot started hurting after I used the elliptical.  It kept hurting all day and today when I got up I could hardly walk.
