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.

One mile with my 6 year old.  2 miles on the treadmill, 5-6 miles per hour.  My goal for this week is to have at least 10 miles total.  I will try to do that for 3 weeks in a row and then bump it up to 15 miles.  This is on the advice of some guy on the blog named Bill.  Which of the three Bills I have no clue.  However, any one of them probably knows what he is talking about . . . ergo I go and do.  My goal by the end of may is to run a 5K in under 30 minutes.  Half an hour to just schlepp myself  from point A to point B.

For accountability purposes I think I'm going to start blogging my piano practice.

Good work! On an unrelated note, I am missing a set of keys, and there is a possibility I left them at your house. The most likely location is under the sofa bed in the living room, or somewhere under a bed in the kids room.

Sasha,

We just found your keys today, and will send them to you first thing tomorrow morning. Sorry about the delay - we had looked everywhere we thought they could be, and ended up finding them behind (or under) Adam's dresser.

Thanks. I am very glad you found them. No hurry - I've lived without them for the last two weeks.
