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.

Same ladder workout on the bike that I did last night. A increased the resistance just a tiny bit, still keeping it pretty easy. I get a lot more benefit from these ladders; some cardio involvement, which means endorphin involvement, which means more cheerful attitude all around. I may do an easy hour later today, or just take the rest of the day off. I'm going to the gym to do weights and core and stretching.

Can I call you "Little endorphin Auntie"? :-)

Yes, I quite like little endorphin annie!

Looks like I won't get any gym workout in, or any more biking either; work got in my way.

You are doing a great job with the cross-training.

You are doing great...are ladders like spin class? Ya know when they make you basically stand and peddle?

From april27 on Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 21:58:47 from 99.188.251.180

oops I can't spell today..."pedal" not peddle...

NICE WORK THIS WEEK!!!! How do you keep your butt from getting sore? Seriously, I can not go very far.

Kelli: Its indoor recumbent stationary bike, so its OK for my butt for hours! On my real bike, sore butt is a challenge for me too; I'm really uncomfortable over 70-80 miles.

From Kelli on Sat, Nov 21, 2009 at 16:03:49 from 71.219.71.229

OH---I like those bikes! They are great to read on and do not hurt your butt so much.
