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.

Yoga this morning, focusing on shoulder stuff, it seemed.  Very satisfying.  Followed with 90 minutes on the bicycle, on my pretty blue bike, on some (relatively) flat roads, in the patchy sunshine.  Fast ride!  I think I averaged about 18, which is somewhat faster than usual.  Helps to ride alone.  

Tomorrow is my first official speed work day after my little injury and time off.  Looking forward to it; I have missed these intense workouts like crazy!   Its just going to be some 200m sprints, hills and flats.  Wish me luck! 

I guess this afternoon, I'll focus mostly on hip/ab/core strengthening and some hip mobility since we didn't do so much of that in yoga.

Good luck on your speed work tomorrow! Are you sure you don't want to run Newport?

Great job easing back into it. Your cross training has been fun to read about. Good luck with the higher intensity tomorrow.

Sounds like you guys ended the ski season properly Sunday.

Carolyn: I SOOO much want to run Newport. But I also want to run a marathon for which I am well prepared, and don't think I can be by then.

JD: You are back!
