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 love rain! Rain is soooooooo...dah! Words can't describe it. It's just a gift and that's a FACT! I was scheduled to run with a new friend from church tonight, but oddly enough, she didn't want to run in the rain. We're gonna try again on Thursday. I ran with my super sweet non-running friend Holly tonight instead & she did so well! She ran 1.25 miles and only stopped to walk once. She's gonna be sore tomorrow, though! Her husband asked me how on earth I got her to start running. Apparently he loves to run and he's been trying to get her to run for years. I think the secret trick is that I'm not her husband. Husbands must tread very carefully when suggesting that the dear wife needs to start exercising. : ) I hope I can run with Holly all the time from now on. She's like a sister to me, only tall. (He he he. That is a jab at my nymph-like mini-sisters.)

I felt GREAT on this run. It was cool, and I could've run longer and enjoyed it, but I am under a time constraint. So good night everybody!

Three cheers for rain in Arizona! I love running in the rain too, but not in downpours or thunderstorms - just rain. Running in the rain is somehow very liberating. Just you and the rain . . .

You are a motivation to many others, including family and friends. I'm not surprised that she would want to run with you :)
