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.

Zero running miles.  It was a rare powder day at Mt. Baker today, snowing hard all day long, and exceptional dry, light powder.  Dry light powder may not seem like anything special to all you Utah folks, but for us it is truly unusual.  Enjoyed the day with my family, hiking and skiing backcountry lines all day!

Warm up ok.  Race pace OK for the first five miles, and I just couldn't hold it, knew I couldn't hold it, and ran the last 8 miles as the hardest miles I have ever run in my life.  Just slogging along trying to keep going.  I am strangely tired; I was completely out of fuel by mile 5.  Hmmm...
