Running Accomplishments:

'Just started! -Again!

Short-Term Running Goals:

Increase my energy levels so that I can keep up with my demanding jobs (Mother of Five, Wife of Father of Five, Chef, Housekeeper, Uncertified Phone Counselor, to name a few:). Strengthen my heart and improve my circulation. Grow some muscles! (It's about time!) Run four miles at once... sometime in the next 2 yrs, anyway. :)

Long-Term Running Goals:

I'd like to still have the strength and energy to do things when I'm old. I'd also like to stay in one peice until then!

Personal:

I have been married almost 9 years to Practically-Perfect Jeremy. We have five dear children 7yo and under. I rollerbladed as a teenager. For 18 mo, I walked a few times a week until about a year ago. I tried running w/ wonderful running partner last year, but that tapered off. We had a hard time matching schedules and I wasn't committed enough to do it alone. After an inspiring meeting with Sasha and Sarah, I am recommitted to regular exercise. I may run, or I may fast-walk. The point is to get MOVING, again. Please bear with my pitiful mileage. Supermommy runs all day, and doing that properly is my #1 priority.

Well, I didn't run, but this is still a HIGHLIGHT of my running, uh, endeavor! I just realized a 5k is only 3 miles! I am SO excited! I totally never connected we are talking about KILOMETERS and not miles. I feel so silly! -But good! Three miles I can do. :D!

The K thing is too tough, I wish they would just stick to miles. It has not quite registered with me, 25 years of trying.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Actually, I told Jeremy about my exciting new discovery 8) yesterday, and he said he only realized it after he'd been running awhile, himself. He is an on-again, off-again runner, but he likes it. He recently set out to prove that running once a week (along w/ additional exercise-enhancement techniques) can get the same results as 3x/wk or daily running w/ only one day of effort. I am happy for anything good he wants to try, but I don't think this one is going to pan out like he hopes.

Yea! We are looking at a good racing season here starting in October or November. It really does help to have a goal to work towards.

My first race I just wanted to complete without stopping (and I was doubtful! But I did and it was fun). If you want to find a race sometime in the fall or winter, try http://arizonaroadracers.com/ and just click on the race calendar when you get there.
