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.

Two runs today.  First run with my daughter in a woods near our house.  We ran 4.18 miles easy up and down hills.  In the last 1/8 of a mile, I had a bad fall, and took skin off of right knee, left quad, and left shoulder.  The shoulder is the worst; I think I tucked and roll on that shoulder.  

SO, I was a bit stiff for tonight's track workout.  It was supposed to be 8 laps, alternating between a pace slightly faster than tempo and a pace slightly slower than tempo.  Mine were 6:53, 7:10, 6:53, 7:24, 6:33, 7:08, 6:19, and 7:24.  Felt good to move, but I am afraid I will be stiff in the morning.

Oh man! That sounds like a rough fall - I hope you're okay. Just scrapes and bruises hopefully!

Too sore to run today. Shoulder is bad, with stiffness and big oozing wound. Puffy knee and bruises elsewhere. Complete R&R today. I do hate scars!
