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.

Visiting my family in Eastern Oregon; once again out of internet land.  This was an interval run.  6 intervals, totalling 3.2 miles at target tempo pace of 7:50.  Actual paces were 7:44, 7:46, 8:06, 7:49, 7:36, and 7:49.  The roads are snowy and icy; had to wear my mom's yak trax.

Running with my brother.  Beautiful over here on the east side; cold (8 degrees!) and icy, hard packed snow roads.  The sun is heavenly and I am trying to absorb all I can; I go home tomorrow.

Track workout.  Not very cold out, but dark and raining hard and windy.  When will all the darkness end?

1200s were at 7:45, 7:38, and 7:49 mile paces.  200s were 46, 45, 47, and 49.

Whew!  I guess I'll have to add my skating boots to the shoe count above.  2 hours on the skate skis at a nice clip in perfect, very fast snow!  Lots of climbing uphill - what a fantastic workout.  This skate skiing is turning out to be the absolutely ideal crosstraining tool for me.  Its easy to get a workout, even intervals, and its a whole different muscle workout.  Anyone else out there skate ski?

Lack of sleep is really starting to make me run badly.  Just easy miles this morning, at an average pace of 9:17.  It was a beautiful morning to get out anyway, balmy and clear.  Hard to believe, since it is literally dumping snow up on the mountain right now!  I couldn't really do the tempo workout that was planned for today (too tired), so I used this run to focus on form.
