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.

Arrived home late, late, late last night.  Really early this morning.  Had to get up at 5am to get my husband off for his trip to San Fran.  Its only 7:26 pm now, and I'm fading fast.  And its only 4:26 in Hawaii!  This is just too confusing and I need a night's sleep.

Ran a few miles this morning, to see how the leg felt.  OK, it felt OK.  

Went for a bike ride this afternoon, just because it was sunny and I thought it would keep me awake for awhile.  It worked; I'm awake after dinner.  Biking was great, even tired.  The group I have been riding with is all training for triathalons, so I'm just along for the ride, and so that I can work everybody going up the hills.  I am starting to feel like I'm training for a bike event!

It is good to be  home with no rain!

Hey, you're back! Glad to hear your leg feels okay. Hope you're getting some rest.

Welcome home! How was the trip?

I'm glad you're back safely. It will probably take you a while to adapt to the different time and weather again.
