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.

Awesome trail run!  Very slow pace on the easy miles (AP 11:26), because the trail is so difficult and muddy and rocky and steep.  There is a whole section that is "unrunnable", but most of the course appears to be  runnable.  I'll explore the rest of it in the next few weeks.  

MP and tempo miles were back on the flattish interurban trail, and went fine, right on pace.   


Thick mist just hanging

far below the mountain tops

like a cloud that fell.

You're time traveling.

I once saw a fluffy cloud sitting on the road in Wyoming. Really.

Lying on the ground, your feet

Wow that just sounds dreamy...I wish we had trails like that around here. Running on the roads is getting old!
