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.

Stationary bike this morning, now off to scuttle around and take care of all the things that need to be done before I can leave tomorrow.  Going to Maui for 10 days, to escape gray skies and rain and finish healing this knee.  I'll be out of internet land, so I'll check in when I get back!  Happy running everyone.

So Maui it is, huh? Not quite as exotic as Queen Creek, but to each their own.

Hope you are having fun in Maui... We are all freezing here and missing you. I will think of you on my run today and hope that is will help keep me warm :)

Ironically you are missing the longest stretch of sunny days I can remember for months. But it is d---, I mean, very very cold.

Hey, isn't it about time for you to be back, sista?
