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.

Still gorgeous, cold, clear.  Still something wrong with my leg.  Jogged a few, then called it quite.  My Garmin map shows me starting this run from the middle of the lake, and running the first mile in 6:15.  Neither of these facts is accurate.  Reported splits are:  6:15, 8:44, 9:12, and 8:59.

I'm sorry that your leg is having trouble. I wonder what's wrong.

Your Garmin certainly had a mind of its own today.

It's probably important to run a 6:15 pace when you start in the middle of a lake, easier to stay buoyant!

What's going on with the leg?

LOL JD!

And also to keep from freezing in the lake; its really cold water now! Don't know what's wrong with the leg; it hurts. I believe I'll just have small runs the rest of the week, and use the bike when necessary.

Sounds like a good idea. Better safe than sorry. Hope it's nothing serious and feels better soon.
