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.

I don't count hiking as crosstraining, but that is what I did today!  Showed off our beautiful Chuckanut Mountains to my guests and their dog.

A quick run before yoga!  Just time for 50 minutes, with a few tempo intervals built in there, just to test the speed muscles.  It is time for speed again!  Enough long slow hours!

Strength and mobility work this morning, then the day skiing with my son and his friend!  No hiking, no backcountry, no nordic, just super fast groomed downhill skiing!  Beautiful cold snow.

Not much time for running!  We left before light to drive up to Whistler BC, for a couple of days of skiing to celebrate DDs birthday.  A quick run while everyone else had breakfast, and then we hit the slopes for the day.

An early morning, and very COLD run with my daughter this morning!  Cold for us, but really only about 27 degrees cold.

Tempo run in the morning, followed by yoga.  As soon as I got home, my son, who is home for the Christmas break, suggested a moonlight ski hike out onto table mountain to see the full moon.  That made me realize that not only was it a full moon, it was the lunar eclipse!  So of course, the whole family had to rush up to the cabin and have some dinner, pack up tents and sleeping bags and stuff, and hike up the mountain on skis to set up camp under the full moon.  The eclipse was best around 5:30 in the morning, so we just woke up early and saw it!  It was a beautiful, clear and cold night, and the eclipse was nearly full where we are.  I think we would have had to be about 100 miles North to see it totally full.  I love family adventures like this.
