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.

Yeah!  After several tries, I got my picture up!  Its not the one I wanted, I wanted the RUNNING one, but there it is.  

 Don't get to run until this evening, when we'll have a new exciting track workout.  I can't wait; I love new workouts.

Update:  Track workout was pretty good.  Basically it consisted of some warm up running, then a bunch of exercises intended to fatigue the muscles in our legs, followed by 4 more miles of running, on tired legs!  I did feel tired when it was over, but I think partly because it was 8 at night and I hadn't eaten yet!  I'm glad at least that we got 6 miles of running; I just feel that I'm not running enough.  Maybe the pre race jitters are starting already for Seattle's R&R.

Very nice picture. So you're a skier, eh?

I'm looking forward to hearing about your exciting track workout.

Yes, Carolyn, I'm also a skier. This picture was me as part of a relay team for a race here that goes from Ski to Sea. I had to hike up the mountain with my skis over my shoulder (see the beefy padded right shoulder?), and ski down to pass off to our runner.

Oh yeah! It's great to see it in a bigger format! It's a great shot of that area too. We live in paradise!!
