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.

No rain. Very very humid and overcast, but warm. Did 6.5 easy miles on the trails, with an average pace of 8:45. I thought hamstrings would be very sore from yesterday's workout, but legs felt great. The running felt effortless; I love when that happens. I didn't quite keep it down to an easy pace, but the effort truly felt easy, and that's what counts, right?

Came home, changed to bike gear, and went for a ride - 25 miles. I just cleaned and tuned the bike and it was shifting like butter. My average pace was 18 miles per hour, which is medium fast. No wind. No hills.

Nice workouts today.

I've noticed sometimes the day after speed work or hills I feel really good, I think it takes my shocked muscles a couple of days to manifest the pain from a hard workout.

Oh, No, then maybe I'll feel it tomorrow. Right now all my muscles are so tired, in a nice way, I don't really want to think about it.
