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.

Eary am tempo workout on the track, since it is once again pitch dark at 5am. Tempo went better than I expected, since I have had a rather tired right hamstring this week. I didn't think the proper speed would be happening this morning, but by some miracle, I felt great. T pace was a bit too fast - 7:30 instead of 7:45 (well, a lot too fast, actually). Kind of hard when its so dark out. I also think that doing tempo runs on the track results in a gradual speed up.

Walked for an hour in the pm with my husband, because he put his back out and I think he needs to keep moving when this happens. We fed the ducks in Derby Pond; they are all paired up now. I tried to throw duck food only to the females, since they really need it right now, but the boys were very greedy.

Easy miles along North Lake Whatcom Trail with my husband (he walked; I jogged). A beautiful, sunny and clear morning here!

I headed straight to the pool after for a swim practice.

I have not been able to keep up on posting, since I've been limited to the use of my Ipad most of this week. It will be the same starting Wednesday, all the way through April 16! I'm heading to Hawaii for 12 days, then straight on to Paris for the marathon. I will be able to check my blog and receive comments, but can only post as a comment to my own blog.
