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.

Woof. I was up most of the night with a little one with a tummy ailment. I was extremely tired all day and mostly hung out in pajamas and cleaned up messes related to the ongoing tummy ailment.

My voice is gone--a little laryngitis going on. I "rested" my knee and logged zero miles. Dang it! It is so easy for me to feel like a failure when I don't get enough sleep. But really, in the whole scheme of things, this is all very small change. I will be fine! Thanks for all the encouraging remarks on my Tues. entry! I am constantly surprised by the number of caring and supportive people here.

I'm so sorry about your little one. It's so hard to have sick kids, I hope he/she feels better soon and that you will be able to get some sleep.

Are you still planning to head to St. George this weekend for Painters? If so, I'm jealous and wish you the best of luck!!!

some day your children will be greatful for all the sacrifices you make for them. Write them all down and charge them when they get older!

Hope everyone Gets feeling well soon.

Haha!! I like Wildbull's suggestions! Can I try too?

Hope you're feeling better soon (and Adam too). Don't worry about Painters, Lyb. There are many more races to run when "conditions are perfect!". And it wasn't a loss - Sasha can now play a song for Priesthood meeting! (hee,hee) ;o)

No Painter's for Lybi...and I am going to stay in AZ this weekend and suck on my garlic (you should all be thankful for that one). Everybody make some noise at the party for me.

Ah man! You know you will be TRULY missed! Take care of that little family and I'll be thinking of you comfy at home while I'm dying at mile 10!

From Lybi on Thu, Jan 17, 2008 at 22:44:22

Christi--I'll be sitting at home refreshing my browser every 5 minutes.

From sarah on Thu, Jan 17, 2008 at 22:55:38

We will miss you so much. It was good talking to you today.

I think we've told you this before but Sasha really is proud of himself for being able to play the piano...and just think...you inspired him. :)

From Mik'L on Thu, Jan 17, 2008 at 23:39:46

We'll miss you! Get better and we'll have to try again!

From Michelle on Fri, Jan 18, 2008 at 06:21:04

Well Lybi, I'll join you n the browser thing and we can both sulk together! JK but I guess that I'm bailing with you! So all I have to say is STRIDERS OR BUST!!! I'll talk to you soon!!!

From Ian on Fri, Jan 18, 2008 at 14:36:34

I wanted to wish you good luck but instead I'll have to say "get well soon". A first race at any new distance is always special and memorable and there's plenty more races ahead. Better to wait until you're fighting fit so the race is memorable and enjoyable for the right reasons.

From Lyndsay on Fri, Jan 18, 2008 at 23:07:26

Hi, Lybi! I hope everyone is on the mend at your place! I missed you Thursday night. It was a very interesting time. I will have to fill you in!

From Kim on Sat, Jan 19, 2008 at 23:46:04

Hey Lybi, Missed you at Painter's today! Hope things are looking better in your neck of the woods lately! I'm looking forward to Striders, (I think, it may be a bit early for me to say I am actually looking forward to it, but I guess I am.) Thanks for your cheers!

From Mike Warren on Sun, Jan 20, 2008 at 00:13:45

Lybi, thanks for your kind comments. It was a really fun race, wish you could of made it, hope you get feeling better soon.

From Christi on Mon, Jan 21, 2008 at 19:25:31

What's up Lybster? Still got the yucky bug at your place?

From Brent on Mon, Jan 21, 2008 at 21:17:30

Lybi, how are you doing, injury, feeling better?
