My first post-high school 5K, in which I thought I was going to die

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: |

1.4 miles barefoot, and the rest in crocs. It was just as humid as the east coast, but at least it was relatively cool. The clouds made a beautiful sunrise. My feet are still a little sore from the blisters I got in Florida. I want to barefoot as much as I can in the next 2 months so I can be ready to race barefooted in September. The race directors aren't going to give me a hard time, are they? There are no rules against running a race barefooted, right? Wait...if there are rules against it, don't tell me. That way I can at least plead ignorance. ;) |

2 miles barefoot at 9:30 pace. I got out a little late this morning and didn't have time for more. But I hope to run a few more miles tonight. And by way of confession.... I may have accidentally ingested some chocolate on my Florida trip. This is a picture of a pitcher of melted chocolate overcoming my resistance to temptation. 
2 more miles barefoot tonight with the dog. Stupid dog tripped me up! So...I fell again. A cute, fluffy, little off-leash dog ran up to Sparky and he freaked out and dashed in front of me. I skinned my knee a little and embarrassed myself in front of yet another neighbor. I hate meeting people and having the first thing they ever say to me be "Are you okay? Do you need help?" Obviously. Dogs are the cause of 90% of my injuries.

2 barefooted miles in the morning. I had a limp from the knee that I fell on yesterday. I have a bruise right on my knee cap and it is a little swollen. I just kept it really slow, like 11:30-12 pace. My knee felt better throughout the day and I really should have run last night but I had a stubborn moment and stayed in. James was home sick. I felt bad that he was miserable, but I must admit that I liked having him around. He has a very soothing presence.

| 2 miles on the treadmill this morning, watching "Groundhog Day". Felt great today! I gradually increased the pace until I got to 7:30 pace at the end |

2 BF miles this morning outside. I forgot to set my alarm last night, so I slept in until 7:00 (which means I got 10 (!) hours of sleep last night! It was absolutely heavenly. The bad side was that I had to face a little more heat than usual because of the lateness of the hour. I started out at 10:40 pace, and gradually increased the pace until I was going quite fast at the end. My average pace for the run was 9:05. It was a nice invigorating run. Then I took the boys to the library and the Phoenix Science Center for the rest of the day. Fun times!
