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.

More biking. Also went to the gym for about 1.5 hours of weights and abs/stretching. I'm doing lots of stuff to strengthen the leg. One legged squats are still hard on the bum knee, but getting better.

Deep water running went well this morning! Nothing hurt, and I was actually able to "run" for an hour and push it a little. I might actually be healing. Some miles on the bike to finish it off, now on to the cooking!

More early morning pool running. I'm better now, so I added some "MP" pool miles in the middle. The thing about pool running (or any kind of water workout) is that I get really hungry. I can barely make it home I'm so starving after the water workout!

early pm: Got to the gym for some intense shoulder workouts, plus abs, upper body weights, squats and stretching.

PM: Added an hour on the indoor bike while watching a movie.

A ladder interval on the bike, with a little extra time of just easy spinning. I was hoping for an outdoor bike ride today, but its gone back to sideways rain and blustery winds. Not ideal.
