| Location: Mesa,AZ,USA Member Since: Jul 30, 2007 Gender: Female Goal Type: Unknown 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. |

| The fast mile, as Lybi called it, was ROLLERBLADING! hehe I LOVED rollerblading as a teen! It was such a blast. THAT is flying! My sister's been wanting to get out and exercise, so Lybi and I took our little red contagious exercise wagon to HER neighborhood (not literally... well, not exactly) and joined her in her preferred form of exercise! She had fun and so did we. THEN, at all hours of the night, we ran two miles more by Lybi's house. dah! That was a little crazy, and my knee did not like it. I could have stopped earlier, but I didn't feel tired until JUST before it hurt. It feels OK as I walk around today, so I'm hoping I can run on it tonight without a problem. That's my first injury. lol I didn't even DO anything! |

| They weren't running miles -- they were rollerblading. Since I DID feel my knee that day, just going about my business, I was nervous to pound the pavement by running. I also had a bad afternoon and needed to fly a little. :) I went w/ Paige and my sister. We went even further with Paige than with Lybi. Paige kept up pretty well, and even declared a Gurr sister race (we married brothers). Poor Paige blew a wheel halfway back to my sister's house, and had to carry her skates and run in her socks! She was back there, biding her time, while we rollerbladed alternating fast and slow so we wouldn't get too far ahead of her. Then, all of the sudden, she passed us, running like her LEGS were wheels, saying, "Wanna race, girls?" :D It was amazing and so funny! She was ultra-fast. I tried, but couldn't THINK of beating her on rollerblades (at least not from the speed I was starting at... but maybe not at all). It was fun to see that side of Paige. She is super-sweet, but at that point, I saw she knew how to have fun being competitive, too. |

| Lybi and I did an easy run the night before her 5k. It was short & sweet. The best part was stretching to "Psych" afterward. She's never seen the show before. It totally cracks me up, so it was fun to see how she liked it. |
