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.

Nice pool run early this morning. I'm starting to like this routine. Getting in the water early in the day is nice, except that I get so hungry!

Long dreary spell of weather here; its getting really difficult with no skiing and no running. These are the things that keep me cheerful in winter. I'm starting to think about a warm weather vacation. Suggestions?

pm: Got an interval workout done on the bike.

Stationary bike this morning, now off to scuttle around and take care of all the things that need to be done before I can leave tomorrow. Going to Maui for 10 days, to escape gray skies and rain and finish healing this knee. I'll be out of internet land, so I'll check in when I get back! Happy running everyone.

Ran out the highway in Hana, Maui. Finished at 7:20, and took a yoga class after. Knee felt OK, somewhat sore. The rest of the day involved a lot of walking, which probably was not great, but I enjoyed the beach and the sunshine!

Ran on the lower highway this morning. There is no traffic at 6:30 am, but it is a hillier run than yesterday. Stopped to walk on the steep downhills. So great to run in the warm and moist air!

Lower road again. My days seem to involve a whole lot of walking in addition to the runs. Knee does not feel any better, but no worse either. By evening, its sore and tight again. I'm trying to do a lot of stretching. Swimming in the ocean helps too.
