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.

I felt really tired in my legs after last night's workout, and I had to run early this morning, so I cut it short by about a mile, and included a mile of WALKING at the end!  I think I will do more walking, as its good practice relaxing my left shoulder.  

I ran along the lake for a ways; its so calm and pretty this morning!  Saw lots of tiny baby bunnies out along the road and watched the eagles fishing (for fresh water mussels?).   

Pace felt good and steady, just didn't feel like I could go longer.  Maybe a few more miles tonight after my group bike ride.   I'm insanely hungry.

I just read your post from last night as well as today's post. I wish I could run fartleks with you. I tend to go out too fast too! But now you're feeling tired today has me worried about my own run tomorrow. Oh well. If I feel like you did, I should follow your example and cut my run short.

P.S. I see you got me added as a favorite. I'll add you.

Yes, I am blessed with many beautiful trails and places to run. Compared to where I ran a few years ago, this is heaven. I sometimes have to pinch myself!
