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.

Had a nice run in whipping wind and hard rain this morning.  I have no car today, so my run was to my Drs. office, the allergy Dr. for shots, and then home.  All trail.  Splits were 9:20, 8:27, 8:43, 8:27 (for a portion of a mile), stop at Drs., then 8:14, 9:05, 8:42, and 7:29 (for a portion of a mile).  

My sports medicine Dr. is now my coach (which is great, because this way coaching is covered by my insurance, I think).  I've got three races coming up:  a local 1/2 marathon on January 16, the Chuckanut 50K on March 20, and my marathon on June 6.  In between, I'd like to run at least one more 1/2, and some shorter things, like 5Ks.

I always like the rare occasion when my running replaces driving somewhere. I'm impressed that you did it in whipping wind and hard rain. And you're going to run a 50K now? I'm impressed. What marathon are you doing on June 6?
