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.

Up at 4, track by 5, yoga by 7.  Breakfast in the car in between track and yoga.  Then a couple of meetings, a stop and the nursery and grocery, and finally home.  Its only noonish!  Going to rest up and get some gardening done before the rain.  

First speed work in about 4 weeks!  200m hill repeats went great - no pain.  MY BODY FELT SO GOOD RUNNING FAST AGAIN!  I had some technical difficulty with the Garmin, and don't have exact times.  They are supposed to be 48 seconds; I am certain they were a bit slow, more like 51 probably.  But no worries about that; I'd rather not push.  I was supposed to do some flat ones, but just did one, because my leg felt "done".  I did some drills, a cool down jog, and went to yoga.  Even though there was no pain while running - which is a big big improvement - Leg is tight now.  Not sure what this means.

Tight is better than pain.

Tight you can stretch or roll out!

Thanks, you guys, I hope you are right!

I'm glad your able to do some speed work again. The tightness might just be the usual tightness that occurs with a hard work out.
