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.

Galbraith Mountain trail run.  I made the climb longer than usual to explore some trails higher up.  The trails I ran are up on a part of the mountain where there is an old homestead still standing, and the trails are called "homestead", "papa bear", "mama bear" and "baby bear".  Recent logging has been rather messy, and only "papa bear" was runnable.  

On my way back down the ridge (about a mile from the end), I twisted my ankle, rather badly.  I jogged down to my bike and biked home.  Very surprised to find that later that day and all day Monday I had to use a crutch to get around.  Some swelling, lots of pain.
