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.

2 Miles after watching the Olympics. Don't you just love watching the Olympics? It makes me proud to be a human. ;)

I've been a little sick ever since my all-nighter last weekend. (Go figure!) But anyway, although many of you may want to give up on me, you will see that things are heading up for me in the running dept. You can't tell because it doesn't show in my mileage yet, but I can tell because of how I feel. You will see!

And guess what? I have located a possibility for a dedicated running buddy! I give piano lessons from 6:45 to 7:45 am on Tues. Actually, I just started this new schedule--today was the first time. But anyway, the mom of these two little guys ran around my neighborhood during the lesson, instead of hanging out in her car like a veal. Her name is Brynne, and she is sooooo cool! It would be an absolute delight to get to know her better. I better go call her now, while I'm thinking about it. She has 3 boys, just like me--that automatically puts her in the cool person group, or at least, the "What the heck happened to my sanity group? (which tends to correlate to coolness (or at least that there are a lot of funny stories to tell on our runs.)) He he he.

Yeah! A friend for lybi! Hey good to know that having three little boys makes me cool! I have always wanted to be cool ;D

Lybi, you are a very cool person, I really enjoyed getting caught up with your blog (I have been out-of-touch for a while while traveling). I loved reading as you ruminate (I hope it doesn't sound gross, I like the meaning) through stages of motivation! Thank you for posting, you have motivated me from afar.

See you soon!! I actually had a dream that Dean and I had lunch with you on our way to Tucson.

Three boys definitely makes a woman cool! I'm glad you're feeling in the groove. Have you called her yet?

I should have known you had 3 boys by your coolness, Marion! Fun fun.

Bonnie, we must make your dream come true! Are you passing through Mesa anytime soon? Are you adverse to being attacked by 3 little boys? James and I could get a sitter, but you would miss out on a lot of excitement. My little Joey used to love to throw cherry tomatoes at the poor waiters. (He had very good aim as a 2 year-old!)

And Michelle, as if running a 1:18 half was not cool enough--you've got 3 boys! It's just the sugar-free whipped topping on the fat-free frozen yogurt. You were always cool.
