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 wasn't planning on running today. I was just sitting there digesting, and I was seized by an UNCONTROLLABLE urge to run. So, luckily, I succumbed to the temptation, even though I had just barely eaten breakfast and was full up to my eyebrows in oatmeal. Actually, that is probably why I wanted to run. There is something mystical about oatmeal, isn't there? It makes you want to be a healthier person. Think of all the healthiest people you know...what do they eat for breakfast? Oatmeal every time.

Nice run!

I was so close to having oatmeal for breakfast this morning. Instead I had a glass of OJ. I better get on that for tomorrow.

I hope that's true about Oatmeal because lately that is all I can get Melanie to eat.

Hey... I'm thinking about running in the Ostrich festival. (http://www.4peaksracing.com/event.php?id=89) Wanna do it with me?

I've had oatmeal now for the last 3 days. I'm feeling better than ever.

Go oatmeal!

Camille--Er, I can't commit to it yet. I don't even want to be seen running in the day light hours. There is just too much to, you know...jiggle. After I wean Danielle it will be different! I will be there!

sounds like you need a really good sports bra
