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.

Lybi and I ran around my neighborhood after my children went to bed. It wasn't too awful hot. We tried to recruit my walking buddy, too, but (knowing we'd be coming) she just HAPPENNED to have all her lights out by 8:40pm... hm...

As Lybi said, I ran a mile for the first time. Ever. That was exciting. I would have celebrated more if I hadn't been so winded.:) When it was time for me to run the mile when I was in school as a child, well, it wasn't pretty. hehe I was awesome at tag and short races, but when my side started hurting, I would stop. 'Anyone know what that sharp pain in the side means/is?

I was feeling a little under the weather, but ran w/ Lybi, anyway. I'll be ok. The night was not as cool as it has been, lately. I can't wait until fall - my favorite time of year.

They were really slow miles, w/ some walking interspersed. I can hardly believe I made it. I was very tired to start with. I am trying really hard not to get sick. Three of my children have a cold. Does anyone have any experience with the appropriate time to run/not run when illness strikes?
