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.

A recovery mountain bike adventure.  Still in the Methow, so new trails for me, and of course I got lost and was out way too long, with a long drive home ahead of me.  Really fun mountain biking though; nice and smooth, fast trails.  Not all rocky and rooty and jumpy like home in Bellingham.  Really loved the ride!

Morning run with both my kids.  Yikes!  Hard to keep up, but I tried.  I ran in the Hattoris, which are ideal for this length of run, partly road, but mostly trail.

 Easy bike ride in the afternoon.

Race: Lake Padden Relays (2.65 Miles) 00:19:37, Place in age division: 1

Lake Padden Relays is the local cross country kick off race, and our local running club put together some teams.  Each runner runs around the lake once, 2.65 miles.  I hadn't even met my teammates until just before the race!  I went first, and ran 19:37.  We put the two younger, slower runners in the middle, and the other 54 year old faster runner at the end, and came it at 1:22:23, just seconds ahead of the second place age group team.  We are all thinking it is pretty fun to win the 40-49 year old division!  Divisions are based on average age, and our two middle runners were in their early 40s.  

Home by noon, in the car and headed up to the approach to Mt. Baker, so that we can climb it on Sunday!  The crosstraining miles are the 1.5 hour hike into base camp.  My back got tired; I am not used to the heavy pack :)
