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.

OK!!! I have been gone awhile, too depressed to interact with other runners. My left achilles has been inflamed (bursitis) for three weeks, and one of those weeks I couldn't even walk, due to pain and tremendous swelling. Blood work, xrays, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, diagnosis is an inflamed bursa behind the achilles tendon, and that meant NO RUNNING! But, of course, I ran in the pool because I have a marathon to do this Sunday. The past two weekends have been six hour pool running situations, which has left me waterlogged, totally out of touch with the out of doors, and possibly poisoned from chlorine. Mid week runs have been better, only an hour or so at a time, so doable.

I managed to run for 20 minutes on Tuesday on a trail, and it seemed OK. Three more days to heal before Sunday's 50K. Its really just a marathon, but I'm adding a few miles because I want a 50K to get ready for the 50 miler. I suspect that it will not be a pain free marathon, but what marathon ever is?

Rode the bike for awhile. Accupuncture on the foot. Extra coffee.

Jogging in Victoria early in the morning, testing the ankle. All seems well.
