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.

Day off of running to rest for tomorrow's 10K.  Just trotted up and down my street and kicked up a few strides.  I am very excited for tomorrow's race, and then onwards to Bainbridge with my friend for a road bike ride on Sunday.  This is the kick off bike ride for the Cascade Bicycle Club, and has 5,000 riders!  I will be riding with a slower group and saving myself for long running on Monday.  

The heavens let loose -

at least that is what they say;

I just call it rain.

Yep, you guessed it; back to rain.  Plus the winds are howling!  I'll go downtown and do some yoga this evening.

Sounds like a great weekend. Good luck staying dry. Some advice for you 10K...RUN FAST!

Good luck tomorrow!

Thanks, JD and Toby! I will run fast, but not too fast. My dream is to be able to run even faster at the end (600 m). The bike ride will be a nice recovery day.

Hope the howling wind and rain die so you can have an AWESOME FAST 10K tomorrow. That bike ride sounds perfect. I need to do yoga...thanks for the reminder!
