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.

Deep water running went well this morning!  Nothing hurt, and I was actually able to "run" for an hour and push it a little.  I might actually be healing.  Some miles on the bike to finish it off, now on to the cooking!

I think aqua-running can be kind of fun in small doses. Not as good as the real stuff, but better than a treadmill. It's nice you have a place to do it.

I'm glad the water running went better today than last time. You must be getting the hang of it.

Just out of curiosity, what are you cooking today as opposed to what gets saved for tomorrow?

Good to see that you are doing better! I have never tired the water running. There have been a few runners on the blog that have done it when injured with alot of success.

Sno: I don't think it substitutes for the real thing, but it is better than not running, and my knee can completely handle it right now! There is a fantastic aquatic facility here, and I can do any morning at 5:30.

Carolyn: Today I made the cranberry relish, got the spices ready for the turkey, brined the turkey, and prepared the stuffing. Early am is pies.
