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. Favorite Blogs: |

Napping is bliss! I am amazed at all the great races everyone ran yesterday. Everyone on the blog is either making huge progress or suffering with an injury. Very dedicated, either way. Wish we could find some magic cure for all running injuries. That's kind of why I started running barefoot. I'll be a test rabbit...if I am able to get over 40 miles per week without injury, I'll have to attribute at least some of it to my barefoot running miles. |

| 1 BF mile with dog, and 3 normal miles with Christine. Last week I had 56 hours of sleep. Pretty good, but I want to beat it this week. And I want to transition to mostly night time sleep. Naps are like candy. They taste good, but they aren't usually good for me.

| 1 mile barefooted this morning. .6 with my son 1.4 tonight with Lyndsay, who is one of my top 10 favorite people, non-family category. We are missionary companions, visiting teaching companions, and full-tilt talk-your-ear-off friends. She is really fun to talk to--perfect person to run with! She sprained her ankle a little while back and felt it just a little during the run. Hopefully it didn't aggravate anything tonight. She did great! She ran the whole distance (which was an estimate, btw) without walking. She does her stair-stepper every night for 30 min., so she is very prepared for running from a cardio standpoint. It was a delightful run.

| My littlest one has a really bad fever--almost 104. I've been getting up a lot with him at night. Not really sure how much sleep I'm getting...I just know it is nowhere near enough. Feels like I have a newborn again! (For every adorable little baby out there, somewhere close by there is an extremely sleep-deprived woman.) Anyway, I finally did drag my hind end outside today and did 4. First mile barefoot. ZZZzzzz, uh, excuse me. Time for bed!
