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.

Holy Shmokes!  I am so behind on my blogging.  That's because I'm spending every available minute exercising!  Truly.  In fact I have to go to bed right now so I can wake up at 5:30 and work out again.  But rest assured, I am running!  Everyday! (Except I missed last Thursday, dag-nabit.)  And I am also walking and doing stair-type stuff every day and in addition either a 1 hour weight workout or a 15 min. ab workout (alternating days).  Bleh!  I don't think I could ever have done this had I not adjusted to running twice a day a year ago or whenever it was. 

P.S.  I lost 2.6 pounds last week.  Yea!

Also, I think that my personal trainer thinks I have a shot at winning.  He gave me a training "scholarship" as long as I keep loosing weight like this.  You know what's weird?  I had much better results loosing weight when I started ensuring that I get enough healthy fats.  100 calories from healthy fats per meal=bye bye adipose tissue.  And that's all I have to say.  I am an exercising FOOL! 

P.P.S.  Why do all personal trainers seem to hate running so much?

Good question, I have wondered about that at times. I think it's perspective as we runners are into it more for the experience and not so much the image part?

Lybi - runners don't spend much time in front of the mirror like personal trainers - think about it. good job on the working out.

Stay Kool,

I've never had a personal trainer. I didn't realize that they hated running. Good grief woman. You are amazing! I didn't think you had that much weight *to* lose. You are going to be like the cow in the fat free milk commercials. The one that turns sideways and dissapears. You will have to sit down and really explain your new diet to me. I'm food ignorant. If it is fun to make, pretty, and tastes good, I like to make it. This extends beyond baking (just in case you are picturing all my cakes and cookies).
