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 did yogaX from P90X. Snikes! I am so sore. I even woke up in the middle of the night from the soreness. I gotta hope all this is doing some good.

And what's with all this rain? I've never SEEN it like this before. It just keeps coming and coming. Usually in Arizona it's a really hard rain that lasts no more than 3 hours, and then it's done, and we're flooded. This time it rained all night, and we're flooded, then it rained all day, and we're flooded, and then another day and a night and it's still raining! Every park and retaining field here has turned into a lake! Maybe I could get some rowing in (not really). James even got sent home early from work yesterday because of the rain. THAT'S a first!

PS bad news, I am back to being 50. I think that running and the stairmaster are the key to the "Benjamin Button Effect."

I actually feel a lot less sore today. Maybe I was doing it wrong.

And the rain is atrocious! (sp?) So many downed trees in our neighborhood.

Downed trees? Were you close to one of the tornadoes? Tornadoes in the valley! Never thought I'd say that!

BTW Yoga is one of those things that gets harder as you do it more. Probably because your form improves. But I'm glad you feel better, there is a lot of great stretching too.

I'm not sure about the tornadoes, but I think the roots are very shallow. At least the landscapers will be busy.
