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.

Gasp!  Look at that.  I actually ran a different route with Christine this morning.  3 miles at 9:47 pace.

Christine is such an entertaining person.  We talk non-stop for the entire run every time.  The first thing she says to me every morning is "I'm sorry!"  Then she will usually apologize about 5 or 6 times on our run.  If I get a rock in my shoe, she apologizes.  If I trip, she apologizes.  Any time I do anything unexpected, it triggers another apology.  Ever know someone like that?  She is just cute.  Today she apologized because I couldn't find my shoes when she got here.  He he he.

Way to shake things up with a different route!

I know the "I'm sorry" type. It makes you feel bad that they seem to take responsibility for everything! You'll have to be careful and do everything perfectly so she doesn't have to feel sorry so much. It's all on your shoulders! Sorry! :)

Well, it could just be an abbreviated "I'm sorry to hear that". Remember the "I Love You" book, where it says "and I'm sorry when you're sad" - it seems like that is more what is means. BTW, way to rock the boat there with a different route . . . you make me laugh!

I'm sorry to hear that. You may be glad to hear that I have not looked at murdercycle for 3 weeks now and it actually has dust on it now. Just not saleable... I know how much you wanted me to sell it Lybi, Sorry..

That reminds me of the Mary Tyler Moore she, a sitcom where she describes herself as someone who apologizes when she bumps into a table at home.

From Lybi on Thu, May 08, 2008 at 02:07:55

Yea, it was kind of funny.

Me (smiling): Did you know that the first thing you say to me every morning is "I'm sorry"?

Christine: Really? Oh, I'm sorry! Wait, I'm sorry, I did it again. I'm sorry etc...

The thing is that she really IS assertive in general. She just talks really fast.

Lybi, yes, I have an "I'm sorry friend" at work. The ultimate test, let a stinker and she if she says "I'm sorry". Second test, don't listen to me, she sounds too nice for such a prank.

Stay Kool, Sorry, Without Patsy, B of BS Rools out

Ok- I'm paranoid now. I'll have to watch myself & make sure I'm not an "oh sorry-er". I most definately am the

"talk your ear off-er". Good to see you living on the edge, switching up the route and all!

How are things going?

From linda10k on Sun, May 11, 2008 at 01:05:14

Super job on getting out there and running. :-) Happy Mother's Day tomorrow.

From Lybi on Mon, May 12, 2008 at 09:19:53

Christi--don't be paranoid. If I were to say that someone reminded me of Christine, it would be one of the best compliments I could ever give. She is SOOOO amazing. Her most dominant characteristic is that she is so energetic.

Sasha--thanks for checking in. I'm fine. I've been running. I've just been really really busy. Catching up now.
