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.

4 miles.

I have come to the conclusion that I have messed up all my training by my complete inability to run easy miles.   I believe that I will take up rowing.

If that's the case, then I've messed up all my training by my complete inability to run hard miles.

How fast did you go today?

Maybe you need to find someone slower than you to run with.

Rowing is a pretty hard workout, isn't it?

I believe you have gone into the Advanced Zone, where runners are transformed and can no longer behave like other mortals. Then they find themselves saying things like, "I'm just going out for a quick 10." Or, "Felt so slow today, couldn't get going faster than 8:00." We watch you proudly from the shore as you sail off to greatness... :)
