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.

Finished this run with a 1 mile barefoot run (shoes stashed at the beach).  Barefoot run was on sand and grass.  Cross training miles on the bike.  Yoga again this morning.  I've done yoga class every day here, and it feels really good to do that again.  I've missed my yoga practice.

Ran in the early morning, then hitchhiked up the coast to hike a trail to a waterfall.  I practically ran most of the trail; the elevation was not what I'm used to in a hike, and the trail was easy.  The waterfall was worth the hike!

The knee is all irritated again.  I'm going to take 4-5 days completely off, except for swimming in the ocean and walking.
