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. Favorite Blogs: |

3.7 Miles with the double jogger. Ugh! I ran through some stinking deep mud with that thing. Almost got stuck.
Felt really sluggish yet again. I'm not sick, so what the heck is wrong with me? I got good sleep last night, too. Maybe it was from fasting yesterday. Fasting seems harder for me since I started running, for some reason. 1.3 Miles this evening at 9:16 ave. pace. Probably in the "junk" miles range, as it wasn't really fast enough to be tempo or slow enough to be easy. "Just want to be done running soon" pace, I guess. Felt good not to feel like I was dragging, though.

| Oh boy. I simultaneously broke my record for longest run since I was a teenager AND longest continuous run with a double jogging stroller. 11:06 ave. pace. Splits of 11:52, 11:10, 11:17, 11:14, 11:24, 11:01, 10:11, and 9:46 pace for the .32. The first mile I was wrangling my crazy but lovable dog Sparky--that slowed me down a lot. The last 2 miles felt the best. I was all excited that I was breaking my record. The very end seemed like an all out sprint to me! The stroller adds at least a min. per mile to my time, so I feel really good about this run. I must say that the weather was PERFECT, the course was flat, and I only had ONE 40 pound kid in the stroller instead of the usual two. Now if you'll all excuse me I need to go lay around and be useless as much as possible before my piano students arrive. |

Well, after my excellent long run yesterday, I thought I'd mix it up a little by having a rotten, pathetic run today. Variety is the spice of life, right? After the first few steps my body was protesting loudly. Nothing serious--just very low energy, and achy joints. So I guess I overdid it a little yesterday. Anyway, I did end up getting around the track several times---sssssllowly. On another note, I've been contemplating switching to a sport in which I do not feel so enormously heavy compared to the average competitor, such as Sumo.

| 5 Miles on the treadmill in 51:50. I was watching "The Count of Monte Cristo". Good flick. Even better book. Anyone read it? |

| 4 on the treadmill and a little bit more running to get my son, so that last .323357 is just an estimate based on how I felt, and the scientific analysis of how hard the breeze was blowing on my face. I don't think I'm going to race tomorrow. I need my energy to do ALL my Christmas shopping tomorrow. At least that is my plan. We'll see if I change my mind. |

5 Miles on the treadmill, which is working beautifully thanks to my hubby James mechanical know-how. I finally finished "The Count of Monte Cristo." 52 min. for the run. And shopping was a bear. Blech. But Christmas is worth it! |
