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.

Eight full hours of sleep last night!  I feel absolutely like Tigger this morning!  A day off from running, yoga is allowed.  But I think I will learn to swim instead - in my driveway if this rain doesn't let up.

Yesterday was my last meeting with my third grade running group before their big 5K on Saturday!  Yippee!  This will be so much fun.  We played some fun sprinting games yesterday, and discussed the run on Saturday.  We talked about what to wear!

 When I have a day off, I begin to question whether I have run enough miles.  I KNOW this is completely stupid, and I WILL STOP!

i didn't know you were coaching 3rd graders. i bet that can be really fun and really stressful at the same time! to see them finish and be so excited will be worth it though. have fun with them this weekend! take lots of pics!

KP - My daughter is actually using this girls' running group as her senior project. There will be many videos of the whole process. These girls are hilarious!

My daughter will be in 3rd grade next year. Maybe I should get her involved in Girls on the Run. Of course she was a big pansy about the fun run they did at her elementary school a couple of months ago.

And Auntie, you've got plenty of miles already this week. Have a fun yoga day. And don't drown in your driveway.

Eight hours! Wow. I have been on bio-identical hormones for about 2 weeks now, and finally getting up to 6 hours in a stretch (first time in months) and it feels wonderful. Eight would be better.
