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.

Race: Waterfront 15K (9.3 Miles) 01:14:13, Place in age division: 3

Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Crosstraining miles	Total Miles
2.50	9.34	0.00	0.00	0.00	11.84

OK, I've never done a 15K before! Really a race for pacing practice for me. And at a pace that I have never in my life run before! AP for the whole 9.3 miles was 7:57. I was trying for 7:45, so not so great there, but not so bad either. I am very happy that I was able to control speed and stay on (or below) pace for most of it. I definitely didn't go out too fast.

Last week's training left me a bit tired, and next week will be more intense, so I didn't finish the race with an hour of easy running as planned. I'll ride the bike tomorrow, jog a bit, and get ready for the largest volume training week next week!
