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.

Well, for some reason very tired after yesterday's long run.  This was my group bike ride, and it was raining hard, and I rode really slow, and I finished DFL!  I have never been DFL in anything in my whole life.  I was squishy wet too.  The really sad thing is, and I think this says something not entirely good about me, I had a good time on this ride!

Mountain run day!  My favorite.  I did Fragrance Lake today, and counted the 1.8 mile climb as vo2 max miles, based on heart rate data!  Whew!, but I ran all the way up this time, at a pace of about 15.5 minutes per mile.  Kept the rest of the run really mellow, a meander around a peaceful lake, a scoot along an undulating ridge trail, then a long swift downhill, finishing with a flat 1.5 miles on the trail.

Two runs today.  First run with my daughter in a woods near our house.  We ran 4.18 miles easy up and down hills.  In the last 1/8 of a mile, I had a bad fall, and took skin off of right knee, left quad, and left shoulder.  The shoulder is the worst; I think I tucked and roll on that shoulder.  

SO, I was a bit stiff for tonight's track workout.  It was supposed to be 8 laps, alternating between a pace slightly faster than tempo and a pace slightly slower than tempo.  Mine were 6:53, 7:10, 6:53, 7:24, 6:33, 7:08, 6:19, and 7:24.  Felt good to move, but I am afraid I will be stiff in the morning.

I screwed up somehow this week, and entered Wednesday's run on Tuesday, and didn't enter Tuesday's run.  So, this is TUesday's run.  Easy trail run in the Hattoris.

Day off, due to being very tight and sore from my fall on Wednesday (reported in my blog on Tuesday).

Nice run this morning; started early and ran from the Bay up into the Chuckanuts and back.  Even though it wasn't hot I ran out of water.  I just carried my hand held water bottle, but it wasn't enough.  I am going to have to start carrying one of those little backpacks, I think.
