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.

4.5 miles on the treadmill.

I am feeling quite morose today.  I found out yesterday that one of my college roommates passed away.  She was only 28!  Pulmonary embolism.  That is 4 people in the last month that I know have died (actually, my sweet roommate died 2 years ago, but I just became aware of it).  Still, everybody be careful!  Just knowing me is a risk factor!  Drive carefully and wear your seat belts, okay?

good job on the 2 miles! It's hard (at least for me) to run on a treadmill. I'm sorry about your room mate. 28 is very young. :o(

Hey, side note, are you planning on running in the Del Sol? Are you on a team? We are short on our team and I thought maybe you would like to join.

Oh, Lybi, I'm so sorry. Was it anyone I knew? Four people?!? wow.

I'm excited about your race tomorrow!!!! Knock 'em DEAD, chiquita banana!!

Camille: OK! You talked me into it...I am teamless. Can I be on your team?

Laura, Aunt Ione is one of them...1 lady in the ward who used to be in my choir, 1 mother of my piano student, and my roommate.

PS my race is next week. He he. I should look at a calendar more often. I feel pretty good about things if I get the month right, much less the day.
