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 barefooted miles in the morning.  I had a limp from the knee that I fell on yesterday.  I  have a bruise right on my knee cap and it is a little swollen.  I just kept it really slow, like 11:30-12 pace.  

My knee felt better throughout the day and I really should have run last night but I had a stubborn moment and stayed in. 

James was home sick.  I felt bad that he was miserable,  but I must admit that I liked having him around.  He has a very soothing presence.

Crash - Lybi, maybe you need to run in hush puppies? We stopped running with very often for similar reasons, too many crazy dogs. Sammy runs great and stays exactly healing at my right side. We now take Sammy for a walk. By the way, why are you cutting back on your daily mileage?

Brent, what are hush puppies? I thought it was a kind of food(?)

As to my mileage, hmmm, good question. Thanks for showing concern. I am hoping that when it cools off and my running buddies return that I will want to run more.
