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: |

Last week was pretty bad for running, and it was always because I kept putting it off until late at night. This week James and I both resolved to start getting up really early to exercise instead. When James' alarm went off at 5:00 am today, he groaned like he wasn't going to do it. So I scratched his back and told him encouraging things like "you'll be glad you did it...you can do it" etc. But then when my alarm went off at 5:50 I just turned it off and went back to bed. Bad Lybi! I suppose I need someone to scratch my back and kick me out of bed, but James treads very delicately when it comes to encouraging me to exercise, because hubbies are subject to get charged with "are you saying I'm fat?!?!" Poor man. But having to take the stroller on the run when I went later in the morning was punishment enough. It made it feel twice as hard. We'll see how I do tomorrow. |

| Yea! I got out of bed before 6 and accomplished a run before James had to leave for work. Feels good to start off the day on the right foot. Danielle slept really well last night, and that helps a lot. She has been sick and the last week or so has been an exercise in sleep deprivation. It's to be expected this time of year, though. It just makes it all the sweeter when I get a good night. |

Two days in a row of getting out the door dang early! (You can see that little things amuse me.) Nice little run before James left work. Nice little kiss at the end. Worth running to. And that reminds me, have you ever heard that song "Run to You," by Lady Antebellum? I love it, and it reminds me of the guy who is waiting for me at the end of every race. You must all listen to it!
Here it is! |
