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.

Five miles nice and easy on the treadmill.  The weather in the gym was warm, humid, but not raining.  Listened to David Bowie's "Heathen" album, Death Cab for Cutie and Snow Patrol.  Finished with Lucinda Williams "Lonely Girls".  That's all for now.

Reminded me of what some women were telling me yesterday, about "hot yoga." I never heard of that, but evidently they crank up the heat, literally. So you were doing Hot Treadmilling.

I used to run on a treadmill a lot in the gym at my office and I remember wishing that they would set the temperature lower in the room.

Did you set the pace on the treadmill so that it stayed nice and easy? Maybe that's the way to make sure you run at an easy pace.

Yes, that's why I use the treadmill sometimes. For some reason, I can easily run 10:30 miles on the treadmill. I use a slight (2-3%) incline. I also work on relaxing and keeping a good form. The music time is a bonus.

Hot yoga is called Bikram Yoga. There is a studio in Ogden that I have attened. I need to get back and do it. I was soooo flexable when I did it regularly.
