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.

Day off. I feel like I might explode. But not in the house; too messy.

Finished all my work in time to run downtown and pick up my new marathon shoes. During the 22 mile run last week, I seriously damaged four toenails! Apparently, my feet really do swell up enough to warrant a bigger shoe. This is my marathon shoe, apparently. Seems so silly, since I will never wear it for shorter runs, and I may not ever run another marathon.

I tried them on, went for a jog which felt so good that it lasted for two miles. Cheating, I know, on a day off, but it did keep me from exploding.

Yes, definitely go outside if you're going to explode.

You don't think you will ever run another marathon? I'm kinda in an emotional funk lately so now I'm even thinking about not running one at all next year...

Good to know about the shoe thing..I have two black toenails from the 1/2 if it makes you feel better. Just another reason to run fall races b/c it isn't sandal weather!

Did you get another pair of Lunaracers?

I'm probably going to need a couple of years to catch up with you as far as the marathon goes. You're going to do great!

BTW you blogged about the two mile run, but you didn't log them on your calendar.

Nope, Sno, I got another pair of the Saucony's, since that is what I'll run the marathon in. I'm gonna try the LRs for a 1/2 though, probably Nookachamps!
