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.

I've been missing from the blog so long that I am daunted by the prospect of filling in all the training miles and minutes while I've been gone!  Suffice to say I've been running, skating, swimming and skiing ALOT, but away from internet land.  Today is a day off, only some strength and stretching stuff.

I hope everyone in blogland is still enjoying the holiday season!  I know I still am, although from home now, so the regular routine is restored.  We have crisply cold and sunny weather here today; a rarity for us in winter.  The sun feels heavenly!

I"m glad to hear you were still running, skating and all that jazz!

Speaking of skiing--have you seen the movie Frozen? Don't! It is horrid! Basically about teenagers that get stuck on a ski lift. Very low budget!
