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.

Nice and easy 1 hour, 40 minutes on the bike. Its sunny for a change, so it was lovely to just be outside and not be wet! I did some sprints at the end (kind of like doing strides, in theory). It was great to pull out the summer bike club kit - really bright yellow and black shorts and jersey. I like our club outfits, but some people are complaining that it makes your butt look fat to have all that yellow. I don't care; I like looking like a bumblebee, and a butt that is visible to cars is less likely to get hit, right?

Legs are nice and rested for tomorrow's race. Out to get some gardening done! Yoga class is not until 5:30 today.

you "don't care" because you are so tiny! if you had a large butt like me, you would understand...

Well, KP, it is the men who are complaining, and I really think they all look fine.

Men can be so vain sometimes. Enjoy some well deserved nice weather.

how often do you have to replace your bike shoes?

I think it would be cool to look like a bumble bee.

I'm anxious for your race report.
