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.

Always cracks me up to call these mountain runs "easy", since the long climbs are anything but easy.  They are easy on the joints, however, and the long winding descents are certainly easy.  Maybe I ran too easy, because my son "easily" ran 18 miles while I did this.

Track, but after wu, I felt a twinge in my rectus femorus muscle and stopped and went home.

Trail run for one hour, easy.  All rectus femoris twinging is gone, body feels great!  Trying some faster running tomorrow.    I have become so cautious it is a little freaky.

Long run, with 5 miles at MP.  Used my new bright yellow addidas.  They kept my eyes up and forward, because they are so bright it hurt to look down.
