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 did my yoga class again today, so yea me, I guess. Tomorrow I die, for tomorrow is my "body pump" class which is basically a weights class set to music. Hooooooo-boy.

This is me doing yoga at 4 1/2 months:

Wow, that image turned out inexplicably humongous. An insult from the universe, no doubt. What is it trying to say, that I look FAT?!? How dare it. (Some people have said that I am a teeny bit touchy while pregnant.)

If anyone is even at all curious about my belly I am offended..I can't stand any comments about it at all when I'm pregnant. My sister thinks I'm nuts...I just think some people really forget that pregnant people have feelings too.

Like the lady in my ward that had never had a child saying to me..,"Wow. I guess you get really big when it's your sixth." She's pregnant now and I can't wait to see how big she gets (I'm sure it will be bigger than I was...evil snicker..)

I agree. I can see the kindness or the cuteness of a person who just looooves touching pregnant lady's tummies, or constantly making comments on the size of their tummy, but when I am the pregnant lady I have to fight the urge to bop the well-intentioned idiot upside the head.

I think that the only way you can look big is if someone blows up a picture of you really big :)

I definitely don't think you look fat... when I saw you on Monday, I thought you looked beeeeeaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuutiful!
