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.

Track workout; first one since my mono recovery that I have felt "on" for track! Feels kind of like my old self again - hooray! My paces were: 400m@1:23, 800m@3:30, 1200m@5:12, 800m@3:38, and 400m@1:35. The first 400m was WAY too fast, but everything else was on pace and felt great. Finished off with 200s, and I didn't worry about pace. They were :45 and :43. WU and CD in the Hattoris, because I love them; workout in the kinvaras, since the ankle is only about 98% and I wanted to give it a little extra love and support for the hard work.

Another great tour de france this morning, with an exciting sprint finish. Mark Cavendish showed 'em who is really the fastest sprinter in the world and did his missile thing at the end; excellent performances by a group of break away lead riders, who almost made it, but were swept up by the peloton anyway. Tomorrow starts the mountain climbing stages, and we'll get to see the climbing guys come out and do their stuff. My money is on Andy Schleck this year; Contador is not having a great year so far, and Andy looks strong and determined!
