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.

Decided to run a local 5K this morning.  Amazingly, I was able to keep splits fairly consistent and get a PR!  Splits were 6:59, 7:03, 7:18, and 6:34 (for .1).  Time was 22:04.

I hung around and ate pizza for awhile and then went on to the rest of my workout.  45 minutes on the bike at slightly above easy HR (average HR was 133).  40 minutes of running at easy HR (HR was 140), and then a final 45 minutes of biking at a slightly higher HR than the first bike ride (average was 139).

Even better, my official time is 21:59! Always nice to break through to a new minute category. I don't know how to edit my race report or I would.
