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 was able to bring my tempo up a bit for some sprints; I think I'm getting better at this bike thing. Watched all of "Mama Mia" while riding. I love musicals.

I added another workout tonight. Dr. gave permission to do some ladder intervals on the bike! Almost like a real workout, with cardio and everything. Still low resistance, but way more fun than slogging out those easy rides. I did intervals of 1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1 minutes with 1 minute recoveries in between. The intervals were at about 22 mph; recoveries at 17.

MRI shows no tear in anything! This is good news, as it means no surgery. The not so good news is that there is some lesion/inflamation sutff going on, some of in bone. The advice is to get an xray to make it is benign. Also, the healing is not very determinate at this point. Still no skiing or running.

So glad it isn't a tear! Also glad you can do more with your bike. I think it makes indoor sports better when you can watch a movie! I'm jealous!

Hooray for no tears and for cross-training. You're going to be an expert bicyclist in no time. BTW, I really like Mamma Mia.

April: The movies are great, but I'm actually LONGING to get outside in the rain and wind!

Carolyn: I'll not only be stronger on the bike, I'll have all the dance moves for Mamma Mia! down!

There is a ton of snowing falling! We hope to go up and ski on it in a few days. I'm so sorry you are missing it.
