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.

Pool running this morning! I've kind of missed it. Not. Hopefully the wind will die down a bit here by afternoon. I've planned a 30 mile bike ride with my friend who is training for an ironman.

I signed up for a couple of races this morning.

1. A 5K on Feb. 13 in Seattle. This one should be fun; takes place at Greenlake Park, one of my old running spots when I lived in Seattle.

2. A 10K on Feb. 27 in LaConner, WA, just down the road from here.

3. The Chilly Hilly Bike Ride on Feb. 28 on Bainbridge Island. This is a really big, fun event, and can be quite CHILLY and is always hilly. The LaConner run is on the way, so it will be a fun filled weekend. I am already hoping for some really good food afterwards.

Carolyn: In answer to your question yesterday, Yes, I'm training for a 50K! Its March 20, a crazy local event here. Its in the Chuckanut mountains, so lots of my training will be up and down trails. Last night, I had my first panicked moment about it. Mostly, I'm excited.

That's great you were able to get back in the pool for a run.

Looks like you're participating in some fun races. AND a 50K!

Wow fun races on the horizon!

You sure are ambitious.

50K is ambitious. I am impressed. It looks like you have a fun and busy race schedule planned. I hope you were able to get your 30 mile bike ride in without too much wind.
