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.

Nice hike today with my Dad and his dog.  My Dad is 78 and he walks fast like me!  I'm thinking that this is a good thing.  There was NO RAIN today.  To go outside and not get wet felt just strange.

Evening track workout.  About 30 people were there, wow!  Last week, when it was absolutely pissing rain, about 10 of us were there.  Hmm....

Anyway, wu, with dynamic stretches, jogging, and strides.  I added some drills, because I still need them!  Then 2X1000 at tempo pace, 2X800 at interval pace, and finally, 4X200 at repetition pace.  Dynamic cool down with a couple laps of jogging.  Super fun workout; last week was my first track workout since injury, and it was a short workout and kind of hard.  This week, a decent workout and I felt absolutely great!  Wish it were more, but it is a start, and my paces are right where they should be.

Uh, rain is fine, in moderation! Not a lot of moderation around here lately.
