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 on my beloved Fredmill.  He's still acting just a teensy bit weird, but at least he works.  10:00 pace for most of it.  I slowed down once to catch my breath.  I was watching "Cheaper By the Dozen" and I kept laughing out loud while I was running.  It was great.

Yea!  My 2 year-old slept through the night.  Hopefully the croup is over for him.

You should not have to slow down on an easy run to catch your breath. If you feel the need, you are going to fast. Run the easy runs at 10:30 or 11:00 pace instead, and try to go longer.

Hey Sasha, thanks so much for the advice. Woo-hoo! Now I can feel good about slowing down a little. I am still trying to do 3 one day and 2 the next, do you think I should be trying to do 3 every day?

I'm gonna send a feedback email.

Glad to see you didn't stop running and that is great that Fred is back to helping you!
