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.

Did the bike riding first this morning. After yesterday's day off, it felt great to ride with totally fresh legs. I was really able to take advantage of the opportunity to ride hard up the hills. Rode a beautiful loop for 39 miles; it was 82 degrees at the end. That's a little warmer than it has been I think.

I decided to just run right away, instead of waiting until this evening. I found it sort of hard to get right off the bike and run, but it relaxed my legs to do it. Felt good. I really didn't want to stop in 4 miles, so went an extra 1/2. I feel as though I lost about 2 gallons of sweat just running though!

I might have to skip my bike group tonight!

That's quite a workout! Great job!

I see a triathlon in your future?

From Metcalf Running on Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 16:50:52 from 207.225.192.66

WOW nice workout!! I think JD is right... you should do a tri.

From auntieem on Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 17:57:33 from 67.182.145.8

JD and Metcalf - I'd love to do a tri, or an ironwoman, but swimming is a problem right now. I've never been a strong swimmer, and would have to learn to swim better. AND, I've got a shoulder with no cartilege in it, so I'm working hard to get my range of motion back. As soon as I can swim pain free, I'm in!
