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.

Not quite 5 easy miles, but at least they were easy. Legs somewhat tired from last night's workout, but I wanted to run at 7am, since that's marathon time.

Riding to work and back! Beautiful sunny day, unbelievable Fall weather. Once in a blue moon we have falls like this in the PNW, and its like nothing else on earth.

Edit: My splits were 9:11, 8:59, 9:40, 9:27, and 9:11. That is about the best "easy" I've ever done!

I covet your weather.

You're lucky you can ride to work.

Good idea getting some runs in at marathon start time.

That reminds me, I wanted to mention that at Portland it will be dark at the start line area, but not for long. It always seems like it is suddenly light out right about the time the gun goes off. Thought you might want to prepare mentally for that.

When can I have my cold air back?
