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.

2 miles on treadmill at 5 mph.  Felt really easy.

My friend came over with her 5 kids today.  I made crepes for everybody!  So that's 8 kids and 2 adults.   It ended up being approximately a million crepes.  I decided to try to pan flip them for old time's sake (throw them in the air without a spatula to turn them).  Well, I don't know my own massive strength, and I'm not exactly used to my new pan... and that super-heated crepe ended up flying right at my face!  I had to resort to martial arts to defend myself.  All in front of a bunch of kids, too! This is why James does most of the cooking.  His martial arts skills are superior to my own.  Plus, he seems to handle it better whenever things spontaneously burst into flames.

Hee-yah! Take that, you dastardly crepe! I love reading your blog - you are so cute and expressive. You make my blogs sound like an obituary or something.

Glad to hear that your back up and running, must be feeling better if your doing martial arts in addition to running! I have to agree with your husband, you are good for a laugh! (Laughing with you, not at you!) You should write your own sitcom or something, you would be great at it!
