Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

Prs:

1 mile: 6:31

5K: 23:37

Half Marathon: 2:04

My first post-high school 5K, in which I thought I was going to die

The first time I won my age division. Yippee!

My first half marathon, in which I attack Sasha

The time I beat my high school PR for the 5K (as a 31 year-old mommy of 3!)

My first 5K barefooted

Short-Term Running Goals:

I'm just getting back into running after a long break to have my last child. I would like to race some 10Ks, a half, and a marathon in the next 2 years.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Be the oldest woman to complete a marathon. Yea! But hopefully I will also complete some BEFORE I geezer up, like, before I'm 40 for sure. I think it would be fun to dress up really strange for marathons, like impersonating celebrities and stuff. Except I don't really like celebrities, as a rule, so maybe I'll have to stick to the age old question of ninja, or pirate. I say ninja. *Hyah!*

Personal:

I am happily married to James W (Cool Runnings). We have 3 boys and 1 opinionated little girl. I love reading and I'm also a news junkie. I am a stinker.

1st Page! I better print out the mileage board to commemorate this historic day.

This was the only 5 miler that I did all at once this week. Does NOT feel like brushing my teeth just yet. Ave. pace 11:22.

This week I had 29.1 miles. Next week I'll be trying for a perfect 30. I'm also going to try to sleep like a champion next week--56 hours or bust.

You are doing great, Lybi! Be patient with yourself. And in no time running five miles day after day will be a piece of cake!--with no sugar or white flour.

Have a great weekend. -Adrianne

Which leaves basically scrambled eggs. I have that all the time. :) Thanks Adrianne!

ha, ha, ha!! Enjoy the eggs and baking powder!

1st page - great job!!! I have to admit that I DO check the mileage boards and I was very impressed to see your mileage even before I got to your blog. I shoot for not being in the last 3 (of those who logged runs that week). Is that wimpy or what!?!?

It's so fun to see how many wives of runners are joining the blog. There might be quite a group in Moab, Mrs. organizer!!!! Now don't go and get pregnant on us! (or if you do, you can run my slow pace on the 5 miler). hee,hee

Great! I saw the mileage board before I read your blog. More people have added their mileage and so you are now on the second page. However your nearly 30 miles may be a PR for the week. If I were you I would run .1 before going to bed to make 30!!!
