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 BF mile with dog, and 3 normal miles with Christine.  

Last week I had 56 hours of sleep.  Pretty good, but I want to beat it this week.  And I want to transition to mostly night time sleep.  Naps are like candy.  They taste good, but they aren't usually good for me.

I like naps, but I never can find anytime for them now. Nice run Lybi. Night sleep I agree is very important, and I've been getting more myself, because I realize how important it is for high mileage weeks.

Haven't I taught you anything about sleep? Just sleep in every day, miss the workout and rush to get kids ready. See- its that easy?! ( hee hee...)

Sounds like you have the sleep thing figured out! How's the rest of you behaving?

Michelle! I've been gorging too much on home-made bread, but other than that, not nearly as much mischief as you would expect.

Christi and Kory, you guys are the experts, I defer to your expertise on all things running/snoozing.
