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.

I dressed for my run just as I did yesterday  morning, without realizing that it was 8 degrees colder!  I drove to our meeting place and saw that it was 37 and I was in shorts.   Luckily, I was warmly dressed on top and had my little gloves.  It took somewhat longer than usual to warm up partly  because I was underdressed and partly because the route starts flat, then descends a rather long hill.  Once my muscles were warm, though, I was good.

This was a different group of runners, one that I have not run with, and it actually turned out well for me.  There were six of us, and we ended up divided into two groups by the middle of the run.  But the pace was great for me, you can see by my splits that I was able to maintain an easier pace than usual.  The route was super hilly, with really long hills.  I was delighted to find that I felt great on the hills; recovery seems complete!  

Splits were:  9:29, 9:36, 9:30, 9:18, 9:03, 9:27, 9:28, 8:28, 8:34, and 8:55.

Great splits. I'm glad you found someone who could keep you on an easy pace.

It's definitely more comfortable to be under dressed than over dressed when running,IMO.

Good Sunday run.
