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.

Yoga at the gym, which was a joke--I had to miss the (best) hardest part when the kidzone pulled me out to deal with a big smelly situation.  This is my life.  Poop magnet.  Entirely TOO much poop today.  I even got bombed by a bird at the park.  It was way up high, too.  I thought a rock hit my leg.  Extremely bad luck on my part, I think, as I was SITTING UNDER A RAMADA.  Malicious bird pooped right into the wind. 

Ran 1.4 and walked 45 min. with my little cub scouts.  We're doing a food drive, and we were passing out flyers.

I'm sure all of you are dying to know how I am doing in the weight loss challenge.  1st week I lost 6.2 pounds (not 6.8).  Last week I only lost .6 BUT according to my biometric scale I gained 2 pounds of lean body weight, so I'm still feeling really good about it.  My personal trainer Mason was tickled with the increase in muscle.  He wants me to be buff.  If it was totally up to him, I'd be Lybi-zilla!  But I want to be light so I can run well.  Plus, I really like being at least 50 pounds lighter than James.

Lybi-zilla! I'm sorry about your "poopy" day. What a bummer. Especially about the tricky bird. You are lucky that James is of a normal wieght and you CAN weigh 50 pounds less than him. To weigh 50 pounds less than Brandon... I would have to weigh 75 pounds or less. Yeah-right. I'm luck to just weigh a pound or 2 less than him.

Ha! You posted your weight loss. I was going to ask about that.
