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.

Early am run:   5 miles at easy pace.  I didn't wear a watch, just ran 48 minutes at an easy effort.  

Later am run:  2 miles easy, then 2.3 at Marathon pace and 1.4 at tempo pace, then .5 at easy.

The mile repeats that I was so looking forward to were canceled by my coach, who is much smarter than I am, and still wants me to go easy on my foot.  Hopefully there will be another time in my life when I get to do mile repeats, but maybe not.

I'm sure you will have the opportunity to run mile repeats. I'm sure your coach is right to think you need to take it easy one your foot.

From Carolyn in Colorado on Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 20:52:44 from 97.125.202.148

Yeah, take it easy. There will always be another opportunity for mile repeats.

Fantastic workout today! I'm so glad your foot is on the mend!

Sounds like everyone is on coach's side. Actually, for as much complaining as I did about missing my miles, I sort of forgot how much I LOVE double run days! And the tempo bits were good.
