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 got out a little too late this morning and was only able to do 5 before I started frying. So I guess I'll have to do another 5 after the sun goes down. 32 miles for the week! Yea, finally in the 30s. Hope I can actually graduate to the 40s someday soon! 3 weeks of low 30s, 3 weeks of high 30s, then 40 will be my target.

There is a 5K next week and I am really looking forward to it. Time to make a serious try for that old high school PR!

By the way, who won the Ogden marathon? Top 3 were Logan, Seth, and Sasha, I know that. I can't find the info anywhere.

Later...5 outside at night.  Bleh.  Still too hot.

they said they would have them posted on the website at 4pm. Great job with you week!

It was Seth, Sasha, then Logan. Good luck at the 5K next week. Paul will have a tougher goal to beat once his injuries are behind him.

Great job getting in the miles despite the heat!

I am in town but just until about 5 am Wednesday morning. Monday is my day off, so we can try and plan a run then, but I don't have a car. Let me know if it will work for you, if not, I totally understand.

Hey Lybi!!

I just can't keep up here. You can email me any time about homeschool stuff. We have homeschooled the whole time except for 4 mos. We are very much unschoolers (I prefer the term child led learning). John Holt has written a ton of great books on homeschooling and the Unschoolers Handbook is a good one too. My email is organichic@yahoo.com

PEACE!!

Oh man, it made me tired, but I finally beat your hitherto unbeatable score in biggest brain.

If you beat me again it's going to cause me a lot of stress.

On the plus side, I have not just about fully relearned my multiplication tables!

Way to run, by the way. Heh heh.

From Lybi on Sun, May 18, 2008 at 17:41:44

Grant you are going down. I will not rest until I beat your big-headedness! And if I can not do it, I will find someone who can. There is a guy on this blog who could take you down in the computation section in his sleep!
