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.

"Hill" + "workout" + "morning" = fun? That's some fuzzy math! :-)

I need to get your attitude about hills, and mornings :)

Hills and fun, not two words I often put together!

GREAT job! And, BTW, there are GREAT trails in Park City to run on so now you will have to come visit during the running season, not just the skiing season!

JD, Metcalf, Kelli - You guys are so funny! Of course hills are fun!

I hate gnats! Hills are totally fun!

I assume that you're not being sarcastic when you say "fun, fun, fun." Actually, I kind of understand where you're coming from.

hills yes, gnats no! ;)

Good workout. :)
