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.

I did it! I woke up early and ran easy for an hour to get my longish run in. This is by the far the longest run I've had so far. Happily, I am less tired after this run than I used to be after running just 2 miles. I'm so glad I made it past those first few weeks when I was just tired all the time!

I'm making everyone on this blog a promise. Every night this week I will get my darn self in bed by 10:30. On penalty of sniffing my husband's socks after a run. EW!!! (Sorry James.)

Later that night (by 5 pm really). . . "I am exhausted . . . All non-essential systems shutting down . . . I can hardly move . . . all energy focused to type fdasjkajfd;k. . .things are getting blurry. . . z z z ."

Great job on your long run - I knew you could do it! I am happy to see the changes in your energy since you started running - I am certain that it has had a positive effect on you.

Maybe you should make the penalty sniffing my smelly running shorts or shirt instead . . . might be more of an incentive than my socks, which don't really smell that bad (I think) :) On the other hand, that might be enough to knock you out at night if you are having a hard time getting to bed (he he)

Clyde informed me today that you live in the Phoenix area. Since I am in Phoenix, he said we should have set up a run together! Oh well! I am leaving tomorrow and I don't have a car here anyway. Thanks for the fun and encouraging comments though! Good job on getting in a good fiver.

Thanks for the encouragement. It will not be long before 5 miles will be easy like brushing your teeth. Good work Lybi.
