Goal Type:

Marathon Finish

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.

On treadmill, slow.  I ran in my new shoes today for the first time.   It felt a little weird.

Joined WW today! I'm pumped. Its nice to have a plan! Although I went to the mtg. then immediately to the lake w/ family and out to eat- then after I got home tonight figured my points- used up 13 of my bonus pts today!!!! That was a real eye opener- funny really! You'll have to tell me if you break in your new shoes OK. I ran in cushiony Asics for about 4 yrs. and loved them. But started really pronating on 1 foot- so I changed to more stable shoes- Saucony this time. But the Saucony give me a blister everyime in the same place and they are broken in. Oh well. May try to find some Asics w/ more stablity for my next pair. I think my feet are too wide for Brooks...

Congratulations! You are going to do so well. I usually use most of my bonus points on the weekend, too. It does take a little while to really figure out what is a low point meal that still satifies. My favorite for lunch is a nice non-creamy soup, like chicken noodle. 2 pts. for a cup! I like home-made best, but Progresso is nice to have around for a qick emergency meal.
