Marathon Finish

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.

1.4 walking the dog.  Then 1.4 jogging sssslowly.  No pain other than a little bit of tightness in the hip/glut area.   Thanks to everyone for all the input on injuries and suggestions!  I think I am going to avoid a huge injury here.  Things are looking up!

You crazy woman, I've now stayed up till midnight reading all your blogs and comments!! ... I hardly even know what else to say bestides ... dang! I think you got all the debating genes. I left my book club at an awkward time tonight because the ladies were complaining about our bishop and I couldn't think of anything to say without getting emotional and tongue-tied. Would that I had you in my back pocket! ;o) luv u

Glad you are feeling better.

So glad you are feeling better. It's amazing what a couple days of rest can do. Have a wonderful weekend.

Good news. Try to get in as much distance as your body tells you is safe. 12:00 pace, even 13:00 is fine.

I am glad your body is feeling better and you were able to get a little jog in! You will be back in no time.

Sounds like things are going better, hang in there and I think you are going to make it through this!

Thanks guys. Big drama over little issue, I guess. *Phew* I'll take it any day over little drama, huge issue.
