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.

A beautiful morning! We seem to be through the cool, grey patch and back to blue skies with little drifty white clouds and sunshine. Gotta love this while it lasts.

Tempo interval run this morning. 5X6 minute intervals, with 90 second RI in between. I kept it all trail, because its more fun that way! Target mile pace is 7:38, actual paces were 7:34, 7:23, 7:38, 7:38, 7:56. I feel completely recovered from Saturday's race! This is progress for me, since it is the first time I have ever recognized that I am recovering from anything. This time, I accepted it, and kept my running sane, and now I feel great! 20 miler on Saturday.

Wow! Great bike ride tonight. Much longer and faster than I would have chosen on my own, but I was riding with my bike club, and you never know who will show up for these things! There were five of us, and noone really wanted to go "easy". Super fun anyway! I cannot GET enough food to refuel right now.

Nice pace!! You have recovered well! Are you getting ready for a race?

Great workout today. I hear you on the recovery. I've learned the hard way how important a role it plays in training.

In answer to your question on my page, I am running the Goblin Valley 50K on Oct. 23rd. My first ultra! You've been to Goblin Valley? Didn't you run a 50k last year?

Nice workout and times today! Good luck on the 20 miler!

You are very strong. I eat way too much food. You want to trade eating issues?
