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.

Very satisfying run this morning! We ran out along the bay and a bit into the woods and then back, total of 8.3 miles, mostly easy, with 3 miles of faster running inserted in there. My smaller group was going for about 9 minutes on the easy miles and 8 minutes on the faster ones. Our average was 8:36, though, so we exceeded our speed goal a bit. Bad runners!

Anyway, I felt really good, and could not resist the urge to pass others on the trail heading back in. Again, Bad Runner! Totally forgetting that this is not a race. The two miles at the end did feel like easy effort, as planned.

Hmmm, sounds like I didn't exactly train by the plan, but I really enjoyed myself. I think I should go ahead and get the Good Runner reward - good thing noone else has to vote on this. Some coffee, I think.

Looks like it was a good day for running in the PNW. I am finally adjusting to warmer temps, though the early part of the morning was way more comfy.
