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.

First brick workout!  I was looking at my training calendar this morning, and realized that I am supposed to do a duathlon near Mt. Ranier Saturday the 30th!  YIKES!  I am not even sure if I registered in time.   Its a 5.2 mile run, a 28 mile bike ride, and then a 3.3 mile run.  Better get ready.

Bike ride this morning was 16.42 miles, average pace of 15.3.  Low heart rate of 137 average.  The effort felt easy, just as it was supposed to.

The run was also at a 137 heart rate.  Stopped only long enough to change shoes and shorts, longer than a racing transition, but enough to simulate going directly from biking to running.  I ran 4.12 miles.

I would like to another (longer) one of these on Sunday, but it is unfortunately an Holy Day for our family (last of lift assisted skiing on Mt. Baker).  Choices are hard.

Where does one find duatholon races? I think I would like the running and biking part.

Duathlons are kind of hard to find! Its an evil way of forcing us all to learn to swim. BuDu racing has a bunch listed, but I don't know if that's just my area or not.
