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.

No running.  A strength and flexibility session; lots of lunges!  Ab work.  1/2 hour of running drills in the street in front of my house.  Very difficult to do without breaking into a run, particularly as some of the drills involve jogging at the end.  Ankle is still too swollen to run, and since I've already scrapped the idea of the 5K this Saturday, I see no reason to push it.  

Rode my blue bike for 12 miles; about 40 minutes.  Easy.

Winter rains are back!

A whisper at first, but soon

the music is loud.

You always manage to get in a good workout no matter what strikes there are against you.

You are so great! Even injured!

Well, it didn't exactly feel like a good workout, Carolyn. Today was sort of sad, because I missed my mile repeats at tempo pace on the track - my favorite workout. Boo Hoo. Thanks for the support.

April, thanks. Its getting better pretty fast, I think. I am hopeful for some running this weekend.

SUCH AWESOME attitude! GOOD GIRL not breaking into a run with the drills. Here's to no more swelling and back to running REAL SOON!!!

I like your haiku!
