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.

Training group run this morning. We jogged a bit, did a few strides, then warmed up and did a few easy miles. Then it was into 10K pace for 4 miles! This sounded scary, since I think my 10K pace seems fast (8:00), but it was actually fine. I had some asthma issues near the end, which is usual for an increase in speed for me, but it was better than last time. I really think that as I get used to the faster speed, the asthma will sort of take care of itself. In the meantime, must REMEMBER THE INHALER!

Had to cut it short after the 10K pace miles and drive down south for High School State Track Meet. Had some time there to finish the cool down miles. I ran 3 miles, and here's what's funny: they felt really easy, but pace was dead on 8:00/mile! I'm not sure I understand why that felt so easy. But I didn't fight it, I figured that as long as the effort was easy, they counted as easy miles.
