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.

Got back in late last night.  I extended my stay a couple of days, and I really can't say its that great to be back.  I guess I missed the really cold weather, but it still feels plenty cold to me, and the wind is howling.  

I had a great, restful, healing, and peaceful trip.  I'm running again, and will post the runs as soon as I get the new Garmin to become friends with my computer.  The highlight was a run at the top of Haleakala Crater at 9,740 feet!  Short, just two miles down and two up.  Beautiful day and great altitutde training!  My miles are still short, but I'm ready now to ramp it up a bit and see if I can get ready for a 1/2 in mid January.

I am happy, brown and plump.

Welcome back!! I am glad you had a good time ... (I won't tell you all about all the weather whining that when on while you were lounging around in the island sunshine).
