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.

4 on the treadmill and a little bit more running to get my son, so that last .323357 is just an estimate based on how I felt, and the scientific analysis of how hard the breeze was blowing on my face.

I don't think I'm going to race tomorrow. I need my energy to do ALL my Christmas shopping tomorrow. At least that is my plan. We'll see if I change my mind.

I forget how Sassy you are. I think it will soon be on, teaching the piano teacher a lesson that is! I propose a challenge to you and your other sassy, blog addict, wonderful stay at home mom, friends(Josse and Michelle L). Let the blog decide on the challenge and the prize. I will have my tag team partner Sasha on my side. Sammy better stay out of my way,(at least while I am running), and "Just Bring It!"

P.S. The challenge can't have anything to do with speed because me and my tag partner will layeth the smack down. And it can't be leaving comments on people's blogs because we will get dominated.

Another side of codgerism when you start forgeting memorable things such as my oversized attitude, James.

From James on Fri, Dec 07, 2007 at 18:57:57

Once again, I was stirring thing up in a polite way and did not mention "Little Man Syndrome".

Wow, this is some heated debate going on! haha NICE PIC Lybi! It looks like you! So I totally approve! Way cute. Good luck on the shopping...I haven't started nor do I want to!

From Michelle on Fri, Dec 07, 2007 at 22:08:44

Yes I agree save your energy for shopping, it's rough out there! As for the pic, I agree looks just like you and if it's recent and the beautiful green back ground is current, I'm so jealous!!!

From Lybi on Fri, Dec 07, 2007 at 23:41:44

Ya, Michelle, that picture's just 1 week old. Feel free to come visit for some warm winter racing!

Mik'L, I'm so glad I finally have a Mik'l approved picture! Also glad I'm not the only one who hasn't started Christmas shopping yet. Why prolong the agony?

James--(By the way, this is not the REAL James (my husband), this is Monaflash, the newly certified health teacher/animal brutality offender who wants to change everyone on the blog on HIS system of tracking mileage i.e. when in doubt, round it up.)

If you want a contest on "neutral ground," why don't we make it...hmmm...Oh I know! How about piano playing? Or maybe getting along with animals?

P.S. What the heck is "Little Man Syndrome?" (Please do not elaborate!) This is evidence of too much time spent in high school locker rooms.

You would rather go Christmas shopping than run a race, what kind of blog addict are you?

You need to sharpen those trash talking skills, you get a little weaker in ripping me as it drags on. Don't worry you will be a pro soon if you keep jarring back and forth with me enough..

I think Sasha and I would take you in piano playing contest, especially in a contest of popularity rather than skill . I mean if you have heard Sasha play BINGO, you would know that you wouldn't stand a chance!

From Brent on Sat, Dec 08, 2007 at 19:55:21

Lybi, Me and Sammy must join the fray. When is our challenge? My piano skills stop with chop sticks. Maybe I can be the heckler, spell Bingo nothing like Bingo, while Sammy licks them during smack down. You are soon becoming a super hero. Defender of Garmin geeks and large white dogs.

Super hero points 1,000

From Lybi on Sat, Dec 08, 2007 at 22:21:32

Brent, with you on our side, there is no question we will win! You hold him down and I'll recite Pi to him up to 100 decimals. Monaflash cannot stand decimals--it's like his kryptonite. He'll be screaming for mercy!

Another possible area for the challenge: pringles eating contest. There is no way he and Sasha (who won't touch them) could eat as many you and me!

Cart wheels and singing (can you sing?) are also good possiblities for me.
