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.

NO sleep!  I hate when that happens.  I was too tired to get up at 4 for the 5am workout with track group.  I felt like I hadn't even gone to sleep yet.  I was up anyway at 5:30, and made it to the track by 7.  

The workout was 5X200m hills at .51 and 4X200m flats also at .51.  Hills were .52, .55, .52, .53, .52, and flats were .46, .48, .50, .48.  Good to be done, but I'm still tired.  The schedule calls for a bike ride this afternoon/evening, but I am feeling like maybe that won't happen today.  If it does, I'll post later.

So, it was really no sleep, or it felt like no sleep?

I agree with KP. See if you can get a nap during the day.

Naps are heaven. I know. I've already taken 3 this week.

Yes, she has. Her hair is nice and straight, too.
