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.

You could do some homeschooling classes:

Running Basics 101

Advanced Running (Barefoot) 201

Writing Skills to tease/harass future running bloggers 301

So far it seems like it is more:

How to get paint in every corner of the kitchen 101

Why math is not really as boring as it looks on paper 201

Volcanoes 301 (This is related to the paint issue)

So far, so good!

You are such a brave Mom! Glad it went well!

Your running is going well too. When is your next race?

Homeschooling is very brave indeed. Adding running to it is even more brave.

I heard about barefoot running. Never tried it tho. Where do you run barefoot? On what surface?

Thanks guys. It really is not all that brave to homeschool in this case. It is simply necessary. My bright little guy is just not learning anything in school, and mostly messes around instead, much to the teacher's chagrin.

Arie--I run on smooth sidewalk.
