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. wu, strides, 8X200m all on track, no hills. It has been so long since I did these 200m that I forgot what pace I do them at! They were .44, .46, .46, .46, .47, .47. At least they were all pretty much the same! When I got home I checked the target pace, and its .48! Pretty funny.

I did my cd mile partly with shoes and partly barefoot. Just as I finished it started to rain A LOT, and a really cold, icy feeling rain. Which is weird, because it was rather warm today, low 60s I think.

Before I went to the track, I coached my third graders. They are coming along OK, but in just a few weeks, they have to run their 5K, and sometimes they don't want to run! I showed them how to gradually accelerate into a stride, and we did that for awhile; they liked that game somewhat. I am going to have to run this 5K with them, so that will be a challenge all of its own.

Great job hitting your pace on those 200s. And how nice of you to coach 3rd graders.

Good thing the rain came as you finished, not as you started.

Icy feet - brrrr!!!!

I did 400s today, a much shorter interval than I usually do. Maybe 200s sometime in my future too. I'm not sure if I would benefit much from them in terms of my marathons.

Yeah, cold here too! I am refusing to admit its not summer, though. I do believe that 200s would benefit your marathoning (although not this time). Theoretically, it takes very little speedwork to create the muscle memory needed to bring it on when needed! I love the intensity of the 200s; kind of an almost all out effort, but reining it in just a bit.

what isyour pacing with the third graders? I imagine for you it would be agonizingly slow!
