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.

Easy run this morning.  I thought it was going to be a long run day, but apparently that is tomorrow.  Today is just easy run, I think there is no bike ride today.  So I'll go to yoga :) And, I have to get ready for my trip.  Not sure if I mentioned it, but I'm leaving on Saturday, immediately after the duathlon for France.  I'll be running in Paris for 10 days.  I have two runs a day for most of the trip, so I'll have to pack lots of running clothes!  Skirts, maybe, for Paris?

Haha, Toby, yeah, you can trade with me! You'll be in charge of my daughter and her boyfriend in Paris! They are both 17, think they are invincible, and think they know all they need to know. Good times!
