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.

Nice little run on the treadmill.  Incline 1 speed 5.0 for the most part.  I REEEAALLY didn't want to do it today, but thank goodness I just did it anyway.  Remember how exhausted I was yesterday?  Well, a certain two year-old was up a  million jillion katrillion times in the night so I was in a blithering daze all morning until I got a nap after my run.  Now I feel fine.  Running 2 miles doesn't leave me tired very long anymore--maybe just half an hour or so.   Progress.

I notice that I really want to run faster when I hear a song that I like on my DVD player (in a movie soudtrack, for example).  For my upcoming race I really need to get 30 minutes of the best music for running I can find.  Any ideas?  Some of my favorites for running so far are "Walking on Sunshine" "Respect "(he he) and the theme from Crimson Tide.

If a kid wakes you up, you may just as well go for a run right then on the treadmill. Idea for a song - of course, BINGO!
