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.

Sad to see you are not running Striders. You will have a great time with your other plans though and I wish you the best of all the things that need to fall into place for you to have a perfect race! How long will you be in the Provo area?

I enjoy barefoot running but being a whimp I stick to the grass on the inside of the track. Also regarding your subconscious aspirations I'd rather have you as prime minister than Gordon Brown. Reduce the vat on running shoes and you've got my vote.

So you guys are coming all the way up here for a half marathon, what troopers! The problem is you are doing different races.

Kim, sorry! I wasn't sure if you were still going to run it, but I will miss you ! Any chance we could convince you to run Provo City instead? Warning: I might just do the 5K.

Ian, vote for me, and I will fight for tax breaks for barefooters! (...also free smoothies for everybody on Wednesdays). Sidewalks don't hurt my bare feet--but I haven't tried to run very far or very fast yet.

James--yeah, there aren't very many halves here that aren't on a Sunday. Plus we just need an excuse to go hang with Sasha and Sarah. Plus it's my birthday trip. I turn 31 on the 7th. So I'm going to celebrate by driving home from Utah and probably have to end up making 31 potty stops for my boys. Can't beat that!

If I would have been aware of the Provo half I maybe would have signed up for it instead. I would have been able to sleep in my own bed. We are already registered for Striders and have a place to stay, so we will stick with that plan. We will just have to check each other's race reports and cheer each other on that way. Some day we will actually run the same race.
