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.

My little seven year-old was my buddy for half of this. Tomorrow I will be back at full distance, after carefully watching the ol' hip for a few days. All systems are go!

I finally read the thing about avoiding injury on the discussion forum & I'm feeling inspired. I think I've been doing a lot of stupid things, and I am going to do my best to break the habit!

1.5 With my oldest boy. He ran so well today! 14:27. Isn't being a parent amazing? I really am happier when he does well than if I do well myself. Now to extend that kind of love to everyone...

1 mile with my 5 year-old at an exceedingly maidenly pace.

1.5 miles on the treadmill at an ungodly hour in the morning.

4 miles for today. I am having a good running week. The weather is turning BEEEEEYOOOTIFUL in the morning. Perfect running weather. Couldn't ask for anything better. A sweet little running buddy whom I love, nice weather, energy and health to run, and a whole, long, fall-winter-spring season ahead of me to look forward to.

3 miles alone at 10 pace, 1.5 with my 7 year-old at 11 pace.

This is my friend D'Net. She is a piano-teaching goddess. Last night we went out for some girl time.

Lettuce wraps ala Cheesecake factory...trying to find stuff without white flour or white sugar.

Creativity gone awry. I can't be trusted with purple cabbage...especially when I've been drinking (water with lemon, of course).

I did NOT eat the bread sticks.

But we put them to good use. Isn't she cute?
