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.

Beautiful morning! The rain and grey skies are gone, and although cool, it promises to be sunny, with lazy clouds. I'm happy to see the sun again!

5.9 easy miles, splits were 9:40, 9:21, 9:53, 9:21, 9:23, and 9:28. These are perfect easy miles. I rewarded myself by meeting my son at a local bakery afterwards that shows Tour De France each morning. Watched stage 6 into Barcelona. Those guys are awesome; I want to be a bike racer! Some of the falls are nasty though.

Way to hit the easy pace! Did you have something yummy at the bakery, or just watch bike racing?

MMM, yes. Yummy scones and coffee, my favorite. I think we'll have to go tomorrow too, since that's the day that Lance goes uphill. CAN HE STILL DO IT?
