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.

Clear, sunny, and calm this morning. 62 degrees at 5:00am. It will be hot later. Did hill workouts again, on the trail by the bay. Enjoyed seeing the early sun on boats and calm water along the trail. The hard intervals felt hard, but on the last one, I pushed really hard. Actually felt like I might be sick.

After working out, I drove the car to the shop and dropped it off for servicing, then jogged down to the bakery where they show Tour De France every morning. I made this a really easy jog. Had a really good breakfast while watching TDF.

I have to drive up to Mt. Ranier tomorrow to pick up my daughter from XC camp; its a day off running anyway, so I'll try to get there early enough for a little hike.

Great day for a drive to Mt. Rainier if you go early enough. This heat is too much for me. Have a good weekend. I bet you'll be glad to have your girl home.
