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.

Went skiing today!  It was very very cold but clear and sunny.  What a treat!  I wore a neoprene sleeve on the knee and it seemed to work pretty well; I didn't hike into the backcountry, but I definitely got off of the groomers and felt fine.

 Did five miles when I got home, in the dark.  My headlamp went out on me mid run!  What a great way to celebrate solstice.

...between the moon and frozen lake, the darkest evening of the year...

Oh dear! I hope you had some reflective gear on!

How is the snow at Baker? We need a bit more down here to cover up the crud. Or maybe we'll just come ski with you... :)

Sno! Yes, come ski with us! Snow here is not great, but perfectly adequate for in bounds skiing.

Oh darn. Now that I've had time to actually look up that poem instead of relying on my deteriorating mind to remember something I memorized in 2nd grade, I see that I got it wrong. Between the WOODS and frozen lake! I was way off.

Your life is fun.

It must have felt good on the legs to transition from skiing to running. Nice, active day!
