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: |

Evening. Crappy run. I wanted to do my 2 mile tempo run tonight. I missed my last two bc of serious sleep deprivation related to kiddos. 1 mile to warm up at 11:15 pace. Then I started my tempo. I started off really good, felt pretty good. Ran the 1st mile in about 8:40. Did not feel all that fast to me. (My last tempo run was at 9:00 pace, but it was WAY hot compared to tonight.) However, when the Garmin beeped the mile split, I unexplicably found myself walking. Very odd. I walked about .25 and then started up again. Ran the next mile about 8:40 too, although I don't have an accurate time bc of stopping for darn stop lights.
Well, I guess it wasn't that crappy. In fact, it was a pretty good clip for me. I just wish I hadn't stopped in the middle. Maybe I'll have to try again later this week.
Holly's house is almost exactly 2 miles from my house. I see a very good possibility for a 6 miler one of these days. 2 miles down, 2 with the Holl-ster, and 2 back home. |

I intended to run 4 miles and only got around to 2. Holly ran a whole mile without stopping! She is improving very quickly, I think. Then we did pushups and crunches and whatever else we could think of that would make us sore the next day.
Oh, my little son! I took him to the orthopedic Dr. today. Bad news... his little bone is in the wrong place to heal. It is 15 degrees off. I hadn't even realized that it was broken all the way through. The Dr. said it had just shifted around bc his chubby little arms don't really let the cast hold the bones perfectly still. He said to give it one more week for it to (hopefully) straighten out. Then we go back, and if it is not properly aligned, they will have to either rebreak it or do surgery. I would really appreciate any prayers on my little guy's behalf! His name is Adam.

2 Miles with Holly. It was fun. She only needed to walk 2 times the whole run. See? If you can't find a runner for a partner, take someone you like and ask them to run. Actually, almost everyone I have ever asked to run with me has said yes. People want to be healthier, in general.
Wait--there was that one lady who was too "intimidated" to try running with me. I could laugh myself right out of my chair over than one. I am about as intimidating as a 2 legged gerbil when it comes to running, IMHO. (But a determined 2 legged gerbil nonetheless.) |

| Ran 2 miles over to Holly's house a little briskly for me--9:59 and 9:42. Then I went 2 miles with Holly. Then I stayed awake in bed giggling about a funny thing Holly told me during our workout. |
