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.

Yipee!  I had a perfect week--or at least I worked out every day.   And even better, I got GREAT NEWS!  Happiness surrounds me.  Today I accidentally triggered a little bout of road rage.  You know, when they lay on the horn like BEEEEEEEEEE-I-HATE-YOUR-GUTS-EEEEEEEP!!!, complete with nasty look.  Well, I was so happy I just smiled at the guy *dork!* like he was my long lost best friend.  Bet that got his goat.  Hehehe.

I did my yoga class at the gym today, and I am pleased to report that I can already tell a BIG difference in both my strength and my stamina.  When I first started just over a month ago, I could barely do about half the moves, and I always took the easy option.  Today I was able to do the ENTIRE routine and I did the advanced option almost every time.  I am a yogafying FOOL!  I looove yoga.  My back already feels MUCH stronger.  I don't get that uneasy feeling that something might slip out of place if I bend over too many times.  My back actually feels better now that it did when I wasn't pregnant.  Go figure!

Go figure may have a double meaning there.
