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.

Rainy morning, but not cold. Still looking for a good mudfest trail! Five easy miles this morning. We have a somewhat light running schedule this week, as we race on Saturday, so I'm trying to stick with the schedule. Maybe can bike ride more?

Saturday's footrace sounds fun. Its the oldest race in the state of Washington, and is mostly trail out along Chuckanut Bay in the woods. Seven miles out to the finish. Then our group will run back "easy". There is some grade, although must be net flat because it begins and ends on the water. There is one nasty hill - truly nasty hill. My plan is to run up this hill very slowly. My time goal is around 57-58 minutes. That's basically my 10K pace.

That does sound like fun, I can not wait to read all about it!

I just adore that area, Chuckanut Bay. I did not know the oldest foot race was there! When I lived up there I had friends who lived on the cliff over the beach and we used to go down and dig clams. I remember the shade trees when it was sunny and the fog when it wasn't. Heavenly! Maybe I need to retire there someday.

Yes, retire here! We can be the oldest runners in the oldest race! Actually, we'd have a bit of competition for "oldest runner"!

You're looking for a mudfest trail? By that you mean you want to run in mud? Are you crazy?

Your upcoming race sounds fun. Good luck with it!

Yes, I am crazy! About mud!

Mud...hmmm...

Good run getting out in the morning after track work the previous evening.
