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.

Glad you have found something you really enjoy doing . . . maybe after the baby you will come back over to the true gospel of running . . . :D

5 months. time really flies! Hey the spinning bikes at my gym have wide seats. None of that skinny stuff. I have seen some people bring a cover to fit over the seat for more padding. I got to take a yogga class. I need to loosen up or i am going to break!

James, I'm sure I'll be a runner again post-baby, but I think I really need to keep doing yoga too. I love how much stronger my back feels.

And Bull, next time (if there ever is one) I'm going to bring a PILLOW to sit on, cuz my bum is delicate, I guess. But let me know how the yoga goes! That'll be a fun entry to read, I am sure.
