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.

Longish run with some marathon paced miles. A cool, overcast morning here; Fall is on the way?!? Did I miss summer? Nice solo run this morning; I find that I like my long runs best alone.

Headed over to Lopez Island this morning. We will be here for three days. I hopped right on my bike and rode awhile. The bicycling here is really lovely; I could probably ride all day.

Check out my sleeping and napping! This island is very peaceful. I meant to do an easy run, but my miles were so fast, I have to call them MP miles! This island makes me fast; or maybe it is all the sleep.

Kayaking in the PM; looking for whales and seals.

Another beautiful and kinda fast run here on Lopez. Spent the rest of this day lazying around the cabin on the bay, soaking up the sunshine and reading and knitting.

Back home in Bellingham! Scored a few easy miles in the pitch dark on the island before we left and rode at home.

A mini run with strides this morning before heading over the mountains in the car to go the the Cutthroat Classic, an 11.1 mile trail race tomorrow! I've wanted to do this one for several years, and I finally have time. Its 5 miles steep up, 4 miles steep down and about 2 flattish miles at the end. Rugged trail. Freezing elevation has dropped to 7000 feet, so maybe even cold. Yikes

I got food poisoning the night before my race in Mazama and wasn't able to run. A few easy miles instead.
