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: |

2.15 barefoot miles at 8:57 pace on average. I pushed a little on the last mile, and ran the last .1 as fast as I could. It was a really nice morning--not too hot! The only item of interest was that I got behind a walker with her ipod cranked up just a little to high, and I almost ran into her because she did not hear me repeatedly saying "excuse me." I was going to go around her, but she stepped sideways a little to avoid something on the road and almost got smooshed by me. I'm amazed she didn't scream. If I were her, I would've screamed. I mean, here it is, 6:00 am, you're completely alone, and then out of nowhere a runner materializes right next to you and almost collides with you. Very ominous. It probably helped that I was wearing my pink running clothes today. It's hard to be scared by someone in pink...

So, you may have noticed that I am not running so very much these days.... It is true, I have really been feeling yucky toward running. I have toyed on an off with the idea of just giving it up. There are a several reasons not to give it up, though. The days that I miss my run really do not seem to go as well as when I DO run, despite my reluctance. Last night I prayed that I would wake up with a desire to run, and I did! My eyes popped open at 5:40 without an alarm clock (THAT is a miracle, people) and I went for a short run on the treadmill. It felt good, kind of like scratching an itch. I think that until this lull in running enthusiasm subsides I am happy to just run 3 miles a day to maintain health. And in other news, BREAKING DAWN comes out tomorrow. YEA! I hereby pledge to...try very hard...not to stay up all night tomorrow reading. Doh! I can't promise, though!

| 3 miles on the treadmill followed by a lot of reading! I watched a terrible kids movie, can't remember the name. I decided that I absolutely MUST run a marathon at some point. I wonder if 2009 will be it! |
