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 met the group at Cheris's house for our Christmas Eve run.  I was early so Duke and I ran up and down the street, then we saw Rachel and she ran with us for a few minutes until everyone else got there.  We were doing an out and back from her house.  Duke and I started off early because I am so slow.  We ran out to 3200 and then south.  A couple of people caught Duke and I and we kept going until we turned east and then ran east to the street that goes south again.  When I got to 16 minutes we turned around and headed back.  I was only going 3 with the group so I could take Duke back home before we had our party.  Ben came with me to the party.  We had hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls.  Cheris and Cheryl gave each of us a small present.  We got a light to wear running and some shot blocs.  It was fun.

Leslie, Duke and I met the group at Julie's house.  It was very cold.  We started off before the others because I am slow.  It wasn't too slippery, but there were a couple of spots I had to walk so I wouldn't fall down.  we headed through the subdivision and out across 118th and through that subdivision to 114th and then up a couple of streets and south through a subdivision and then out across 2700 through another subdivision and then out to 3200 and then south to 126 and east to Mcdonalds and then back to Julie's.  It was a good run.
