| Location: Snoqualmie,WA, Member Since: Jan 31, 2008 Gender: Female Goal Type: Boston Qualifier Running Accomplishments: Marathon PR: 4:17 at Portland Marathon, Oct. 2007 5K PR 24:37 2009 10K PR 52:58 2010 Have run 22 marathons to date. No injuries, ever. :)
Short-Term Running Goals: Qualify for Boston (4:05 for my age/gender) - or, perhaps, to use my desire for a BQ as a way to get in the hated speed work so I don't just get slower and slower over the years. This goal is "under (re)construction" right now, until I figure out whether it is truly what I want. :)
Long-Term Running Goals: To continue learning about myself and about running, and to enjoy being a fit, happy runner for life. To always know why I am running and the best way to get the most (both mentally and physically) out of my runs. To keep a sense of humor and remain optimistic about myself as a runner. To enjoy running more and more with every passing year. Personal: Baby boomer generation. Jogged a little in my 20's and 30's. Started running seriously in 2002. Low-carb runner since January 2010. I love long runs and cold, cloudy weather. I don't believe in "junk miles." I am an optimist. I adore dark chocolate, fog, my family, and knitting -- not necessarily in that order. "As every runner knows, running is about more than just putting one foot in front of the other; it is about our lifestyle and who we are." -- Joan Benoit Samuelson

53F, cloudy & breezy (5-15 mph). Easy run. 20 min. strength Those who know me can well imagine how much I enjoyed this run. My legs are still a bit dead from Saturday's run, but my brain was very happy indeed, full of ideas and energy.

| Low 50s, clear. VO2 max intervals by effort: 5 x 4 min hard w/ 2 min recov. It's summer, it's light out, but I still have a hard time getting myself to the track. I like my neighborhood, with its plentiful park bathrooms and drinking fountains. But I think what really stops me is the idea of giving up 20+ minutes of running to drive somewhere to run. Maybe next time. I know it would do me good. |

Low to mid 50s, cloudy with a little light fog. Endurance run, club run, Leg Builder Hill. Lovely weather, but I had to cut the run short a bit. Busy day.
