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.

Spent the night in Seattle after seeing "Wicked".  Great fun!

4.5 easy miles in downtown Seattle early, cheerful good mornings to all those sleeping in doorways.  Kind of nice to be in the busy city.

This morning I had the tv on and saw an advertisement for a Wicked showing in Denver. I'm thinking maybe I should pony up the bucks and go to it.

Nice "out of town" run. It's great that we can take running with us wherever we go.

OH, yes, Carolyn, see it if you can! It is tremendous. Are you a fan of the book?

JD, its an out of town run, but also kind of like home week, since I lived there for 19 years! Not much has changed.

There's a book? (Shows you how much I know.)

Actually, I just bought two tickets for October 29. I had a hard time find a day that had cheap seats available.

Read the book and I have wanted to see the show soooo bad. I green with jealousy :)

From Carolyn in Colorado on Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 12:21:13 from 198.241.217.15

So should I read the book before I see the show?

From auntieem on Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 12:45:07 from 67.182.145.8

You don't have to read the book first, read it after! I hope you love the show, kind of perfect seeing it near to Halloween!
