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.

Week off is officially over!  I ran a little yesterday, and a little more today!  I took a full week off, during which I hiked, did gentle indoor biking, lots of yoga, and even some skiing!  Body feels great, running feels great, and I'm ready to get back at it.  I really had no idea what to expect for recovery from this one, but a week does seem rather reasonable.  First run back (yesterday) I wore my HR monitor, ran easy, and checked to see that my HR was at its usual easy rate.  This is always a good gauge of being rested enough for me.

I'm a little late on reading your race report but just wanted to say congrats! Glad you had such a great experience and that you are recovering well now.

Andrea, thanks! It was a really fun run, and I might have to do a other one, but faster!

JD, I am training for speed this winter, plus swimming and biking. Also going to try some skate skiing races!

You really are recovering quickly. That just shows that you are in great shape.

Man this is awesome! Something to aspire to! Running 8 miles a week after a 50 miler!
