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 little boy and 2 on the treadmill.  I'm feeling pretty proud that I have been getting up super early for all my runs this week.

Can I ask you guys something?  Remember how my little guy (3) had that high fever last week?  Well, he has a fever AGAIN.  No other symptoms.  Just really groggy, sleeping alot.  No coughing, running nose or anything.  It got up to 102.8.  No one else in the house has had any fever or any other symptoms.  I took him to the pediatrician and she said his ears and throat were NOT infected--no other signs of infection, and that it is probably just allergies.  What?  Do allergies cause high fevers?  I've never heard of that before.  Have you?

I have heard of people thinking that teething "causes" a fever but not allergies...of course..he is a doctor so he's right..right? Whenever I have a medical question I google it and see what comes up..usually a get a variety of info and can find what I'm looking for. Sorry for the sick baby...hope he feels better soon. :)

Lybi,

I emailed you an idea time and place for our run tomorrow. Please tell me what you think.

Wow- so much I've missed on your blog this week....registering for a relay?! (awesome! who are you running with?) Sick son?! (so sorry, I would have guessed ear infection 'cause my son used to get high fevers with no other symptoms when he had ear infections but is sounds like the doc. ruled that out? I would get a 2nd opinion. Could he be getting teeth? That can do it...) Lastly, what a beautiful tribute to your friend. I can't imagine anything harder than losing a child. At least they have a wonderful support in your friendship.

Thanks guys, Adam is doing much better. It may be teeth. Is there such a thing as a 3 year-old molar? Or a four year-old molar?

Christiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Hey girl. Honestly, I am the one who benefits from being Shae's friendship and good example.
