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.

Did a wet and muddy "brick" workout with my friend this morning.  She has a 1/2 iron man next weekend, so she's tapering, and this is her last brick.  I sort of had a free day, so I did it with her just to see what it felt like.  It was OK, except its too wet and cold here right now! 

 I am trying to post a picture of my Ski to Sea Relay Team here, but can't seem to make it work.  I'll try again later.

What is a brick workout.

I always post pictures to an other site, such as flickr, and then paste the URL of the picture into the link field you get when you go to insert a picture.

Carolyn, I'll try that! A brick workout is a bike ride then straight to running. Makes your legs feel funny for the first mile or so of the run. Its practice for tri events. We changed into running shorts and shoes first!

I always feel so tough when I pull into the neighborhood on a bike and then head out running. Too bad, I'm not really that tough :) Great workout!
