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.

2.85 with Christine at 9:57. We were both dragging like roadkill this morning. I don't think I even opened my eyes all the way until we were a mile out. Why am I soooo tired?


Mmmmm.  I feel soo much better after taking a quick nap this afternoon.  Thanks for the tip, Kim!  2.15 barefoot miles this evening at 10:25 pace.   Felt really good.

Lybster girl! Don't wear yourself down so you get injured or sick! Take care of yourself and get the rest you need! You have a lot going! Do you get a chance for a little nap at all in the day? I find that even 20-30 minutes helps out quite a bit! Good luck!

Hey- maybe you can come to St. George for some "lazy lessons" I'll give you a deal! Really, maybe its the heat? I hope you're feeling spunky today!

You are tired because you are a mom, you home school, you have church callings, you teach piano, you inspire all of us on the blog, you are a great wife and you run. I am tired after writing all this!
