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 miles this morning with my little 7 year-old outside, BF. I was so pleased that when I woke him up to run with me (6 am!) he did not gripe at all. He just got up and got his shoes on and we went. I love running with him. It makes me feel happy to know that we can enjoy each other's company doing something that is so good for both of us. It is funny how much smaller than me he is, and yet his pace is pretty close to mine. I let him set the pace, of course. I'll be working hard to keep up in the next year or 2!

2 miles on the treadmill, BF. "The Empire Stirkes Back" takes a lot of days to watch when you only see 20 minutes a day. Search your feeelings...you KNOW it to be true...Noooooooo!

My two year old loves the Emperial March song- we have him singing it as our phone ring tones! Great job with the kids running with you. I mostly chase mine ;)

What a way to introduce yourself as someone's father. By cutting off their arm ?!?

Hilarious! I always thought that Luke Skywalker was a bit of a weenie. :o)

Way to get your son to run with you. That's awesome.

Its funny you mention star wars, I was up at a cabin last weekend and they had the series up there so I tried to make my kids watch it and they lasted about 5 minutes and then ran outside to play on the atv's. I swear I will never be appreciated at my house with 3 girlies.

I used to watch movies while I nursed Simeon. It was more than 20 minutes a day of course but I still took me a while to get through a movie (if I was diligent enough to stop the movie once Simeon was done eating) I think a movie from the Lord of the Rings took me three days to watch :)
