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.

Group bike ride!  I rode the new bike, which was scary, since I've never ridden the TT bike so far and amongst other people.  It worked out well, though, as I am now totally comfortable with the TT on all terrain and for a longer distance!  Whoo Hoo!

Running only.  Not any time for anything else.  It is graduation day, and my parents are here for Mimi's graduation, and it is VERY busy.

Swimming in the morning and bike riding in the afternoon.  A long slow ride with massive headwinds; I was good and tired.

Definitely not a great track workout.  Recovering the speed stuff is definitely the hardest part of recovery.  I think I will take a break from track, where I feel some anxiety at not hitting my paces, and just to fartlek speedwork for a few weeks, not worrying about pace.  I don't like feeling stressed, but I want my speed back!

Beautiful run this morning!  Recovery run from last night's miserable track workout.  I pedaled over to Galbraith Mountain, ran for 1.5 hours, up the mountain, then a few laps around several loopy trails, then back down to my bike.  MMMM, shot blocks for breakfast!  I feel totally revived.  Guessing at mileage here, since it was a no watch, no pace run.  Slow though, because steep and technical.

Awoke early this morning by a phone call from my mother, telling me that my father was taken to Boise (three hours away from their home) by helicopter to the pulmonary ICU at St. Alphonsus hospital.  I ran to clear my head and make a plan, then came home, packed, and drove to Boise.

Spent Friday evening visiting Dad in the ICU; very disturbing to see all this "life Support" equipment.  I do not believe it is supporting his life at all; just supporting the medical machine.  

Acceptable run on the paved river trail in Boise.  100 miles of paved trail on both sides of the Boise River.  I guess its nice, but I miss my trails.  At least it is warm and dry here.  Very grateful to have running in my life.
