Marathon Finish

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.

1.5 with my 7 year-old son.  New PR for him: 14:21.  He is really showing improvement, and it is all thanks to effective bribing.  He gets a smoothie if he runs sub-10 pace at least once a week.

2.5 tonight outside.  Man, it was GORGEOUS.  Perfect temps, nice fresh scent, and no traffic.  Love it.

A group of us from Salt Lake are seriously considering signing up for the Del Sol. I love running in the Scottsdale area. Have you ever run Pinnacle Peak?

Anyways, a group of us have run Ragnar three times and it is the most fun I have ever had. You will love it!
