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.

Personal:

I'm a 52 year old mom of two ex homeschooled teenagers. They both think I'm nuts.

Long run, in and around Whatcom Falls, with some marathon pace bits.  It went like this:  30 minutes at easy (133 heart rate easy),  20 minutes at mp, 30 minutes at easy, 10 minutes at mp, 10 minutes at easy, and 20 minutes at marathon pace.  I finished with 15 minutes of jogging and drills.

It is a truly amazing day here.  Somewhere in the 40s, with NO RAIN, and partly cloudy/partly "sunny" skies!

A day off from running!  Yoga class this morning, and a swim this afternoon.

An hour long yoga/stretching/strength session on my own at home this morning.  Such a luxury to have a whole hour to do this at home!  

1 hour of running at HR 133 in the afternoon.  There was sunshine for about 1/2 of a second during this run.  I thought I would faint just from the effort of sucking it into my body as quickly as possible.

I rode my bike outside today!  It was 54 degrees at 4:45 when I left my house.  Wow.  I went to ride up a hill that my bike club is considering for a sprint race we are putting on.  After that, I was going to ride to the track for our track workout, but it was really dark out by 5:30, so I rode back to town on a trail instead of on the road.  Even with reflective clothing and flashing lights, I am not so comfortable on the highway in the dark.

Changed clothes at the track, and did 9X200m at .51 pace.  Actual times were between .39 and .45.  Too fast as usual.  Then some 30 second hill sprints and cool down.  So all the "workout" was hard effort stuff.  We did a bunch of push ups, planks, squats, and pull ups in between sets.  I really cannot do 25 push ups without a break; I am getting to be a weanie!

Skate skiiing.  2.5 hours.  No hills or intervals, just the equivalent of a long, easy run!  Resting up for a 1/2 marathon on Sunday.
