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!  Very successful pool running.  I kept it short, but warmed up, did 6X1 minute intervals at 200m hill effort, with 30 second RI.  Then I cooled down.  The warm up and cool down seem like harder effort to me, because the flotation belt is not floaty enough for my zero buoyancy body, and I have to "run" harder than easy pace to keep my chin up!

NO PAIN ANYWHERE!  Even with the harder effort.

 I am off to yoga, and will do a bike ride later today.  Weather is still beautiful, although its supposed to be a bit colder today.

PM update:  The bike ride turned out longer than I expected, but it was just so nice out!

Good to see you back from vacation... and pain free!! Enjoy your bike ride and yoga. I need to do more yoga.

Pool running! Sounds like the perfect way to keep your fitness up while you heal. Glad to hear it will work well.

Have a great day.

I probably wouldn't need a flotation belt, I have a built in flotation tire in my middle!

Did you say no pain ANYWHERE? Woo hoo!

Yeah for a pool run and bike ride AND yoga (that is a lot of working out time)!
