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.

Tempo run.   Light rain, 62 degrees, extremely humid.  Humidity like this just saps my strength, and I was not feeling particularly motivated this morning.  I started out slow in my warm up, just cruising away from town on the interurban trail.  Tempo intervals were 5 minutes, and I did four, with a target  of 7:38/mile.  Actual paces on the intervals were:  7:37, 7:42, 7:22, and 7:56.  Felt really tired on the last one, and actually cut it 30 seconds short because sometimes I can't read my watch so well.  I did 1:15 in between each interval at a jog.  Cd and then straight to yoga.

Humidity doesn't really bother me when it's cold, but there's some point on the thermometer when humidity becomes a problem. I'm thinking that point is just below 60 degrees, maybe 55 or so, because the 60 (or so degrees) and humidity on Saturday sure zapped me.

That third interval sure was speedy.

I hate humidity! I don't know how I lived in Florida for so long

Nice workout! Here in Utah we are not use to humidity, so when we get even a little bit it feels horrible! I think I would do very well living in a high humidity area.
