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.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
5.30	0.00	5.30

2.85 in the AM with Christine just a little under 10:00 pace.

Then ran my son to and from school with the double jogging stroller at, like, 15:00 pace. Does it still count when it is that slow? I always tell my kids to just keep going, and if they are are tired to just slow down a little. So we go majorly slow.

You are still putting in nice miles daily and not to mention doing a great upper body workout at the same time. I would't worry about the pace, just put in the miles and speed up when you have runs without the kids. (You know that I'm no expert, and just have to put my two cents in). Got the sock tonight, I hope it helps!

You are doing great! It totally counts.

Of course you made my favorite blog list...you are like...THE BLOG to me. I don't think I would have gotten excited about it months ago as I did without a fun loving Lybi on there to cheer me on and up.

Yes! It counts! And look at you getting in over 5 miles today! You are rocking this week! BTW- I gotta tell you again- I LOVE my socks! I wear them all the time, esp. in the morning right when I get out of bed. Jim thinks they are really sexy (not!) Most of my floors are tile and chilly this time of year and they are so warm & cozy. Thanks again for the thoughtful gift!!

Yes, it counts! I think it's great that you run with your kids! I counted the two miles when I had to walk the other weekend when I overheated and ran out of water!
