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.

6 Miles outside, continuous. 59:13 for the whole run (9:52 pace). That's a pretty decent pace for me, although I'm not sure why it was a little faster that usual. I ran to Christine's house, 3 miles with her, and home again. Gorgeous night outside tonight--60 degrees. You are all invited to come down here and enjoy the beautiful temps while they last. Better hurry, though. Summer arrives in April!

The moon looked sooooo amazing tonight! It had a huge, bright, perfect circle all around it. It was almost mystical looking. I took it as a sign that I was going to break 2:00 at the Striders Half. Ha ha. It looked kind of like this, without the abominable guy in snowsuit:

Great run, Lybi! I'm glad Christine ran with you for half of it. You're gonna ROCK at Striders!!!! Sounds like it was an absolutely gorgeous Phoenix night. *sigh*

I was always told a halo around the Moon was a sign of snow coming. But I doubt that bit of folklore will be happening anytime soon in sunny Arizona.

Great run.

Good running, honey. BTW, you need to check out Paul's blog . . . :D

Scott--I'm sure it IS going to snow, but it will probably be in Utah, poor devils.

Warm weather is a great thing! 60 degrees at night though, that is amazing. We have in in the 60s during the day, a much better time for running (hint hint). Ha ha, just kidding. You are doing great. I'm glad you are taking sparky running with you. I'm sure it is good for you both. be safe!

You are quite speedy these days!!! I'm so impressed with your training and consistency! Look out - here comes Lybi!

Lybi - no doubt, without Gwen, you had X-Men powers today.
