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 barefoot at 9:30 pace. I got out a little late this morning and didn't have time for more. But I hope to run a few more miles tonight.

And by way of confession....

I may have accidentally ingested some chocolate on my Florida trip. This is a picture of a pitcher of melted chocolate overcoming my resistance to temptation.

2 more miles barefoot tonight with the dog. Stupid dog tripped me up! So...I fell again. A cute, fluffy, little off-leash dog ran up to Sparky and he freaked out and dashed in front of me. I skinned my knee a little and embarrassed myself in front of yet another neighbor. I hate meeting people and having the first thing they ever say to me be "Are you okay? Do you need help?" Obviously. Dogs are the cause of 90% of my injuries.

Lybi, always funny, how did the healthy eater pavaratsi get this on film? This will certainly be a scandal on the blog. Next time, closets work best, no lights, a little messy, but safer.

Can't wait to read Sasha's comment! ha ha. Love that pic! Sounds like FL was delightful. Glad to see you got your run in today. So what was the Elder's Quorum activity that kept the guys out partying so late?

From Lybi on Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 22:35:24

Christi-they went wake-boarding (like water skiing). So they had to travel to and from the lake. Plus someone in James' car left their keys at the lake and they had to drive back when they were halfway home.

Brent, you have to expect paparazzi when 135 people see your blog each month, I guess.

You crack me up! That's a great picture. Nice job with the barefoot running!

I'm all about seeing people give in to the temptations of chocolate. It makes me feel better about myself as I stuff my own face :P

We all deserve to have a tasty reward now and then!

My sole reason for running is so I can eat chocolate and not feel guilty. :-)

Nice Pic!.

Sorry to hear about the dog. Glad to hear you are okay.

From Christi on Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 13:52:41

Ok- I will forgive the Elders for being late if they were wakeboarding. I'm an addict myself. Too bad the wives weren't invited-huh?

From Jody on Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 13:58:16

I use the excuse " I eat chocolate for medicinal purposes" Sometime is works. Great job getting your run in!

From laura on Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 14:57:24

What a cute picture!! I love your hair!!!! ; ) Sounds like Florida was a ton of fun - I'm so glad! It's good to have you back in cyberspace, though. ha!

I love chocolate and I think it is a blessing from heaven! :D

From Lybi on Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 11:31:08

I like chocolate too, but not as much as I used to. I gave it up for awhile, and then when I had some again it just didn't taste the same to me. This picture was mostly a joke--it wasn't even from something I ordered. Although I do eat a little bit of chocolate now and then.

Christi--if wake boarding is like water skiing the boys can keep it! Whenever I've tried water skiing I usually just end up being dragged behind the boat under the water like a torpedo, drinking half the lake in the process. You must be good if you like it that much!
