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.

3.5 in the morning with Christine.  34:59 for the whole run, so about 10:00 pace. 

1.5 in the evening alone and just a titch scared of the dark.  9:37 pace.  A bit faster than usual, but I was a little anxious to get back home!

Today was my son's birthday, and I did a very brave thing.  I threw my very first friend b-day party!  Yea!  We had all his favorite buddies come decorate cupcakes and make little baggies for piñata guts.  The kids had a lot of fun...and I ate a cupcake.  I'm in trouble now!

It makes me wonder what super healthy familes do with the holidays.  We're almost to Sugar-een, Stuff-Your-Gut-Giving, and Here Comes Sugar Claus.  Any ideas how to keep the spirit of these holidays alive (especially for little kids), without dragging the poor body violently up and down the glycemic index?  I should put this on the message board, but I'm feeling shy.  You all know how shy I am (ha ha).

So Lybi, to make a long story short... after not feeling great I went out for a small run tonight. But before I left I called my bro.- in- law for some antibiotics for my daughter Jamie for a different problem. 1 mile into the run decided that the chance of hearing from him before the pharmacy closed in 30 mins. was slim, as I realized this I was running past my daughters other doctors house. Decided to knock and hit him up. He was at the ER so thats when I cut my run short and headed to the ER. To pay back my curb side ER visit I was sent to Wendy's for fries and frosties for the ER crew. I ordered 10 frosties. After delivering them I had a taste of Callzee's and it was pretty good, but I couldn't bring myself to go back to Wendy's and order yet another frostie. So I headed straight to McDonalds for a hot fudge Sunday! Well the moral of the story I guess is.... I can't have you feeling all guilty about that cupcake and I cave at the very site of good things so don't expect any great thoughts from me, at least untill I'm off this sugar high and can think clearly! Have a good run!

You are too funny. I always enjoy reading your entries. I especially like you sugar-een etc. My secret...I cave, without expection, each and every time I am in sight of sugar. I figure, why not take the Glycemic Index for a ride?

Bethany you and I are a lot a like in that one. I ride that roller coaster entirely too often!
