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.

Cold, dark and rainy

this is lasting way too long 

will it ever end? 

The haiku says it all.  I COULD NOT make myself go outside today.  I am rarely a weenie, but today I am.  Did my early am yoga class, then hit the gym this afternoon for the assigned tempo running.  It was OK on the treadmill; at least my pace was right on!

I am absolutely taking tomorrow totally off; its been awhile since I had a "nothing" day.  I am a bit confused about the 5K on Saturday, but I think I'll be fine.  I wish it was a mile, because I could just run fast.  I don't think I can really just run fast for 5K; I'll have to pace myself somewhat.  I am sure it will be very educational.

Just make sure you run the 5K hard enough that you're puking at the finish.

I do plan to puke at the fnish. Definitely. Then I will write a poem about it.

Can't wait for the puking poem! Hope you have fun at the race :)

You're speedy. You'll do great. At the race and on the poem.

From TBarlow on Sat, Jan 16, 2010 at 16:48:50 from 216.194.124.36

Good luck on the race - can't wait to hear the results!
