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.

"Falling off the wagon" - you don't even know the meaning of that phrase! (hee,hee) I'm glad you're still gonna run the race. Cool thumb party!! That was an AWESOME idea!

Lybi - are you doing the Ragnar?

From Lybi on Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 00:51:11

Camille - I feel a desire to run Ragnar, but usually we host people from the blog who are coming down to run it, and that is a very nice thing for my whole family. I had better not run it.

What about you? Wanna do the Moon Valley Race? It has a really cool T-shirt! At least they were nice last year... BTW, running a race "with" me does not mean you have to run the same pace as me, although I bet you could with a little more experience in the 5K distance. But it would be fun to meet you, and talk before and after. (I'm no fun to run next to in a race anyway. I make all kinds of weird sounds like I am about ready to die. ;) It's all part of my bid to be more like Paul Peterson.)

Lybi,

I feel like a dork, I for whatever reason, didn't get this message in my inbox like I do all the other millions of messages I get when I comment on Walter's blog... and I didn't check back. I'm googling the moon valley race right now to see if I can do it and the baptism on Saturday.

Lybi - I'm in! 5k this weekend. I have a 1/2 marathon next weekend (which I'm freaking about) so I had to make a compromise with my husband. (He wants to do some 4-wheeling.)
