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.

Tiny easy run this morning to wake up; I didn't sleep well, and needed some help!  AP was 9:27.  There is about 1/2 mile on roads from my house before I am into my trails, and I pass by a pond area.  There are deer all over my neighborhood, like rats some places, I guess.  Anyway, there is a pair of brand new twin babies that I see every morning near the pond, and they are so adorable!  They are also stupidly tame; I am going to bring them something to eat tomorrow - maybe a carrot?  What would be a treat if you were a deer?  A stupid cute baby deer.

Really fun track workout tonight!  Tempo intervals.  Gotta love that!!! 

Evening update:  Yes!! Track workout was fun.  Target pace for tempo is 7:38.  My five minute intervals were 7:24, 7:38, 7:36, 7:44, and 7:39.  Whoo Hoo!

Awww, that sounds wonderful to have baby deer!! I bet they will follow you home when you feed them carrots!

Have fun with the baby deer. We have rabbits all over the place around here, and I've noticed that the young ones are not as afraid of humans as the older ones. Maybe deer are the same way.

Great job on the track workout! I think you're really a track runner at heart.

Carolyn: Maybe a track marathon is in my future! I have read about them.
