Marathon Finish

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.

I ran again!  Yippee!  I took my  youngest son to the park again.

And in terms of the rest of the day I just have one hypothetical question...  Why is it that the one time you drive your kid to school in your leopard print pajamas you get stuck in a traffic jam, become late, and have to suffer the humiliation of going into the office?  Life is not fair...

I'm not going to comment on that one.

When I take my daughter to school I used to try and look presentable.. just in case. But eventually I got lazy and just threw on anything and did not bother combing my hair. One day I fear something will make me have to walk inside as well.

What a sight that would be.

Yeah for running again!!! You are a better mom than me! I always worry about that when I am home for the day, schlepping it really old sweats.

make sure you use those bitter oranges I picked for you!

Great job Lybi I'm glad you were able to run. Maybe those Leopard pajamas will make you run fast. :-)

Kory--yeah, if I could run from my humiliation, it'd be pretty fast.

Benjamin--thanks for reminding me. I should have sent them home with you, though! Don't forget, I still owe you a dollar. I'll settle my debts next time I'm in Utah.

Thanks Jody. Too bad sweats aren't high fashion. Fashion has a thing against comfort, apparently.

Scott beware! Your day may be coming...

Steve, thanks for "not commenting."

Any pictures of the incident?

From Lybi on Sat, Mar 08, 2008 at 17:10:34

I have no idea what you're talking about, Jon. This was a HYPOTHETICAL *ahem* question. I admit to nothing! I plead the 5th!
