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.

Great weather, but something is wrong with my right leg today.

Still gorgeous, cold, clear.  Still something wrong with my leg.  Jogged a few, then called it quite.  My Garmin map shows me starting this run from the middle of the lake, and running the first mile in 6:15.  Neither of these facts is accurate.  Reported splits are:  6:15, 8:44, 9:12, and 8:59.

My leg still hurts.

Did some X training on the stationary bike.  Its so windy here today that I am afraid to run anyway, especially in the woods.  I followed the bike with a bunch of upper body weights, whole body stretching and some major abdominal work and squats.

The longest run since last Sunday!  I went slow, and the leg was not hurting, but my hip felt a little "out".  Once again, my garmin did something funny the first mile, creating a long average time, what's up with garmin?  Splits:  12:31, 8:49, 9:49, 9:27, 9:04, 9:28.  

 I spent a long time with hip alignment exercises when I got home, plus abs, stretching, squats, shoulder exercises, etc.  Its pouring rain now, but I missed it! 

 Tomorrow will be a really long day in the care; going to Pasco for State XC Championships (my daughter).  Five hour drive each way!  Should be an exciting race though!

Edit:  Added a few XC miles on the bike.  I'll try to run tomorrow during one of the more boring races.  There are eight races, and my daughter is in only one, so I should be able to find a break somewhere.
