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.

3 with Christine at 9:58 pace. I'm going to go run the other 2 right now in my neighborhood. I wanted to blog before it gets too late so I can avoid the whole "I'm so sleepy I can't kick myself off the computer" syndrome. Very virulent.

And I am going to do those 2 miles SLOW, because I am bushed today.

My hat is off to my amazing hubby who replaced a toilet with all his manly dexterous skills today. Girls like guys with skills...

Oh no, you have started kicking yourself off the computer at night... a bad sign for me in this competition!! (LOL) You haven't posted yet today (thurs) I'm afraid you're still sleeping!

This is going to be funny to see how many hours of sleep you guys will put in so you don't have to be the one to pick a fight. I wish you both luck with lots of well earned zzzzzzzzzzzs!

Christi-I'm trying to get in the groove with sleeping, but it doesn't officially start until Sunday (Sat. night sleep) right? Anyhow, I am feeling pretty competitive! This is really gonna help me--so thanks for accepting the challenge!

congrats on your new toilet! We just got a new one too and it is a surprisingly happy occasion when you get a new toilet :P Great job on your run. And you deserve a WOW for the sub 10:00 pace :)

You're next Brent! Doesn't it take 3 weeks to establish a new habit? That means I need to take down 2 more fastrunning bloggers in the competitive sleep department. Nobody is safe! ;)
