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.

Didn't feel like running at all this morning. Got involved in watching the tour instead, then had to work for awhile. Finally got out at 1:30 or so. Ran a couple of miles at the track in my new flat nike shoes; really just wanted to see how they felt. It feels somewhat tiring on my front shin, but the feet are very comfortable. Impossible to go slowly in these shoes, especially on the track. Splits were 8:03 and 8:23.

I switched shoes and hit the trails behind the stadium for 3.5 more miles, attempting to keep them slow. Splits were 9:23, 8:42, 9:06, and 9:21 (for the half).

Didn't feel any more like running when I was done than I did in the first place!

UGHHH ... I know that feeling!! I usually feel better after I finish - or at least I feel a small sense of accomplishment!

Hope your daughter enjoyed xc camp -- that is cool!
