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.

Day off! I felt so frisky by mid afternoon from a general lack of activity, that I rode my bike over the the grade school where I coach Girls on the Run. I made the mistake of running over there last week on Thursday, and that was bad, because I couldn't carry bananas when I run, and the girls really NEED bananas after they run. Granola bars are provided, but if they ask for something healthier, they should get it, right? So, I buy bananas every day and bring them. I can carry them on my bike. I got there a bit early to mark out a 1/4 mile loop for them to run, so that we could practice getting a 2 mile run. I used my Garmin and tried out my mean green shoes (the arrogant ones, the very same ones who demand special treatment). After their little outing today, I believe they will indeed get some special treatment! They are superb little shoes! They are super light, lighter than ANY of my other shoes, yet my wandering right foot does not want to wander in them! Its like a miracle. AND, they are pretty. This has never happened to me before, and it makes me unspeakably happy. Pretty shoes, I mean. I am considering buying five extra pairs.

All this rambling and not even about running! That's all I have to say about that.
