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.

Mini tapering track workout.   It was insanely windy on the track tonight!  Probably a difference of several seconds between one straight away and the other side.  All my intervals were too fast; I just have so much pent up energy its ridiculous.

WU 1.98 miles @8:56 

1200@7:04 (should be 7:38)

1000@7:40 (should be 8:10)

800@7:17 (should be 7:38)

400@7:51 (should be 8:10) 

CD 1.98 miles @9:21

1 lap jogging between intervals.

Also did some drills on the track before doing the cool down jog; dynamic stretches and running drills.

NICE track work to keep the speed sharp! Perfect!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 00:58:38 from 24.8.167.243

I suppose the point of a taper is to acquire pent-up energy. How soon is the race?

From auntieem on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 11:23:29 from 67.182.146.94

Smooth, I sure hope I will be sharp!

Carolyn: Race is Saturday, so I've got a few more days to explode with energy.

From Burt on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 13:02:03 from 206.19.214.144

Woah! Calm down there. Take a chill pill. :)

Nice speed.

From Bonnie on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 16:09:56 from 128.196.228.134

What Burt said, but nicer ;-).

Good luck keeping the energy reined in Auntie, and good luck on Saturday!

I thought what Burt said was pretty nice. And sooo true. Thanks!

From Burt on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 20:30:10 from 206.19.214.144

I always say nice things. Good luck.
