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.

WHOO HOO!  I ran STRIDES!  That means I ran fast, or at least a little bit fast for a short way.  AND WHAT THAT MEANS is that in a few days, I CAN RUN REALLY FAST again!!  WHOO HOO!  Sorry about all that, I'm happy.

Did a short warm up at the track, running and some squats, weights, crunches, etc.  Then STRIDES! and 6.25 on the trail.  I was happy, so it was hard to keep easy pace (8:42, 8:40, 9:07, 9:06, 8:13, 8:20, 8:38(last .25)).  

Off to Seattle today and taking my roller blades; there are some great places to skate there.
