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.

Easy miles, group run.  Ran four with the group, then rejoined the other part of our group at the track and ran .75 more so I could catch up on some gossip.  Its cold and raining rather hard.  Came home soaking wet and feeling great.

I had a pre marathon massage today that lasted for two hours!  I honestly don't know how I stayed still that long.  Well, really I didn't, I wiggled a lot.  It felt good after, though!  And, I had some very nice coffee afterwards.

JD - it was a great way to start the week, but I had not scheduled in the two hours part! I scrambled the rest of the afternoon.

April - I don't know what type. The massage therapist is also a biker and a runnner, so I think he understands pretty well what to do. It was definitely the type that hurt some!
