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.

30 minute mobility session, mostly dynamic stretches.  70 minutes on the bike, high cadence, no intervals.  30 minutes strength session, focusing on leg strength (squats, hip strengtheners, glut strengtheners), finishing with some foot/ankle flexibility/strength work.   

I am starting to feel that all the little injuries of the Fall/Winter are past.  I am very very grateful.  

In this moment - a chance

for what can only be done

now, never again.

I don't know what that quote means, but I do know that you are currently atop the mileage board.

I am!?! How did that happen? I bet I'll get booted off today.

From Carolyn in Colorado on Tue, Mar 02, 2010 at 14:38:30 from 24.8.167.243

Yeah! I'm so glad you're feeling better.

Those mobility exercises sounds GREAT! Glad to hear all the little injuries are things of the past. You are doing so well in monitoring your recovery.

Yep, top of the mileage board, almost 40 miles and it's only Tue. YOU ROCK!!!

hooray for injuries of the past. they teach of us to be safer in the future! I can totally see you tackling that 50 k now!

From Toby on Tue, Mar 02, 2010 at 22:10:33 from 216.194.124.36

Yipee! I'm so glad to hear your feeling great! As big of a pain as those injuries are, they sure teach us some valuable lessons (or they do me!!)!

Nice workout!

Good news about the injuries subsiding. You've been smart and patient in recovering.

From Kelli on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 17:25:30 from 71.219.89.82

I am so glad that you are feeling the aches and pains go away. I am even more glad that the comment comes after a marvelous 18+ miler that just "flew by!" Anyone who can say that many miles flew by is a RUNNER!!!!
