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.

Nice pool run early this morning.  I'm starting to like this routine.  Getting in the water early in the day is nice, except that I get so hungry!

Long dreary spell of weather here; its getting really difficult with no skiing and no running.  These are the things that keep me cheerful in winter.  I'm starting to think about a warm weather vacation.  Suggestions? 

 pm:  Got an interval workout done on the bike.

Sorry, I don't have any vacation suggestions, but I think you should get yourself a nice yummy breakfast.

It's great the pool running works out so well for you. Hope your knee heals up quickly.

TUCSON ... you can "rough it" at the Gilbert Ray campsite (in Tucson Mountain Park), or stay with a fastrunningblog buddy (that would be me) or I can find you something reasonable around town ...

Go visit Bonnie. She is a super fun person!

But hang on a week. We're supposed to get some sun this week.
