I have fun every time I run, and have recently overcome the "I can't go fast anymore" hurdle.  I'm having fun going faster and working towards becoming even faster.  

I have raised two running children, one competitive and one not.

I have learned to run in ice and snow and I don't complain. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Work towards a faster marathon by Spring 2012.

Get my 5K down to 21:30. 

Place in my division at duathlon and triathlon.

Train for biathlon.



 




 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Joining Forrest Gump


 

Personal:

I'm a 52 year old mom of two ex homeschooled teenagers. They both think I'm nuts.

7 easy miles in the pool early!  Time flies when you have someone to talk to.  

I want to do a double run today and hit the trails about 2:00.  Meanwhile, busy morning, and want to fit in some strength training.

Total darkness shifts

to soft colorings and then!

sun explodes the sky 

PM update:  6 easy miles in the park, some rain.

It sounds like you got to see a beautiful sunrise this morning.

Good luck with your busy morning.

You are not too far from me so I assume you got the Amazing Technicolor Pink Sunrise this morning too? BTW, I don't know if I will get to see you when you come down for the 5K, but our Madrona Fiber Arts plan has changed - we are going on Thursday instead of Friday.
