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.

A long and complicated run in overcast, cool weather.  This was a hard run for me.  I think maybe I worked too hard last week.  It took me several miles to even feel warmed up.  After the initial warm up and strides, I ran 30 minutes at easy pace, then ten minute marathon paced intervals with 5 minute RI in between, then a 10 minute tempo pace run, then 20 or so minutes of cd.  The faster bits felt fine while I was running, but I'm VERY TIRED now.

Stopped at the Coop food store after to get a "Mocha Monkey" that my friend suggested.  It was yummy!  Coconut milk, bananas, mocha, protein, I don't know what all.  Anyway, it is rather cold.  I drank it while I shopped for some groceries, and by the time I was at the checkout, I was seriously COLD.  Hypothermic time.  Its supposed to be July, and here we are absolutely freezing!  Its beyond ridiculous.  The checkout clerk had to put a little heater on the counter for me so that I wouldn't die on the spot and so that I could pay for my groceries.  I rushed home to a hot bath, and am now somewhat recovered.  You may think I'm being dramatic, but I was really, truly that cold.  I NEED SOME SUMMER!

Happy Holiday weekend everyone!
