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.

20 min. on the treadmill (walking fast) followed by 20 min. on the elliptical.

Then I did all the weight machines I could figure out.  I basically set them each to a weight that was fairly difficult, and then did as many reps as it took to get a really good burn.  But I only did one set. 

Four days in a row!  That a record for this pregnancy, and I have the blog to thank for it!  So thanks, blog.  You make me want to work out much more regularly.

P.S. Tomorrow is the day!  Oh please oh please oh PULEEEEESE!

Way to go with the consistency, especially with sore muscles! I agree, the blog helps you be accountable to both yourself and everyone else. For the record, I'm hoping for a girl too, but we will have to see. Love ya!
