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.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
5.10	0.00	5.10

2.86 miles with Christine--splits of 10:11, 9:55 and 9:38 pace for the .86. I felt like I had to push it just a little to keep up with her.

2.5 miles taking my son to and from school with the double jogging stroller. Apparently athletic tape is not the most effective stroller binding material. I had to almost carry the darn thing (with two of my kids in it) about half a mile. Maybe duct tape will work...somebody call Red-Green!

Wow- speedy! I'm gonna be like you today and break up my runs- not time to have 1 consistent run! Have a great day!

I just read this again and am laughing at the image of you binding your stroller w/ athletic tape! Probably not so funny when you are carrying the kids though! Hope you have a marvelous weekend!

Great job getting in more mileage lately, Lybi!! Rotten little stroller; doesn't it know you're in training!!! Hope you can fix it soon or find an inexpensive one on Craig's list.

All I can say is you are going to be ultra fit with the weight of the stroller you are carrying and then ultra fast when you aren't running without it! But I agree there has got to be a stronger tape than athletic!

Wow, Red Green, classic show. Nice looking splits, looks like a good run(s)

I bet your arms are seeing some benefit from the broken stroller. Does that count as cross training?

I say yes, because now I'm all sore.
