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.

60 degrees this morning!  It rained hard all night, then cleared up, with no wind.  So different from yesterday's lightning and wind.  

I ran seven miles through and around Whatcom Falls Park.  Still no Garmin.  Felt good to run flatter trails after yesterday's hill workout.  Legs were somewhat tired near the end, but still feeling pretty dang good. 

Added some bike miles later.  Still sunny and warm; 1 hour ride out Lake Whatcom and around the Agate Bay loop.

Yes, sounds like perfect weather. Your recovery seems to be progessing quickly. It's nice that you have access to both hills and flat places to run.

Hi there! I haven't been around for awhile thanks to an injury that just killed my will to think, write, or read blogs about running. I was so bummed out. I wanted to see if you reached your short term running goal of the marathon on Oct. 4th and how it went . . .hope it met your expectations and that you had fun. My goal of a fall marathon did not happen obviously. Sigh. At least I'm running again now so I'm a lot happier :).
