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.

Group run this morning.  It was supposed to be 2 easy miles, 4 marathon miles, and 2 more easy.  But, our coach wasn't there, so, as usual in his absence, we ran amok and completed the miles at marathon pace.  We did do a warm up though, and stretched after.  

The hill in mile 6, which used to frequently kill us now feels like a breeze; we just MP right on up that hill.  Definitely stronger than 4 months ago.  

Enjoy your weekend!

How cool is it that you can see that you're so much stronger than before!

I'm chuckling that you run amok when your coach isn't there.

Hills feeling like a breeze, that has to be a good feeling! Running amok is a good thing!

I love that image of running amok w/out coach. I picture leaping, crazed laughter and shirts being torn off and tossed in the air.

Great about that hill!! I'm still pokey as ever on the Spirit Crusher. 12:00-14:00 pace, but I don't feel whiny so I think I'm getting better.
