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.

A speed workout, of sorts. Kind of hard to do on muddy trails; I tried to pick relatively flat dry spots for the VO2 max bits.

Lift assisted downhill skiing in the afternoon.

Came in to Bellingham to swim and go to track workout. We did a 5K time trial; track was so icy on the corners I found it rather scary.

I've been missing from the blog so long that I am daunted by the prospect of filling in all the training miles and minutes while I've been gone! Suffice to say I've been running, skating, swimming and skiing ALOT, but away from internet land. Today is a day off, only some strength and stretching stuff.

I hope everyone in blogland is still enjoying the holiday season! I know I still am, although from home now, so the regular routine is restored. We have crisply cold and sunny weather here today; a rarity for us in winter. The sun feels heavenly!

Celebrated New Years Eve with a bunch of women; we ran the Chuckanuts, some of my favorite trails. Steep and icy, very cold. 23 degrees at the start, and undoubtedly a few degrees colder at the top of the mountain. The lake was frozen! Beautiful run.

I skedaddled home and straight up to the XC trails on the mountain. They groom on Fridays and I wanted to skate while the track was fresh. Started out at 21 degrees, but by the time I finished at 5:00, the sun had gone, and temperatures had dropped to 12 degrees! Several key parts felt quite cold. This colder weather is a real treat for us here on the West side of Washington; it just doesn't happen very often at all!

Easy run, HR 133. I will have to buy more warm clothes for running if this cold weather keeps up and I am going to run so slowly! My average pace for this HR is soooo slow! Average was 10:47; very hard to keep warm.
