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.

Day 5

I am taking a rest week...I guess. I just don't seem to want to run, but running only 2 miles seems like nothing, and for that I am grateful.

Don't loose the love for running! Make sure to keep it enjoyable! I wish I would have been running when my kids were your age! Keep it up, you are awesome woman runner hear you roar! (my mom loved Helen Ready when I was a kid. You probably don't even know who she is or about 'I am woman hear me roar'!)

Hang in there! You are doing so great on your challenge! My mom loved Helen Ready too (my dad hated her- to womans lib/man hater for him) Keep up the roaring. 2 miles does feel great!

Hey, there's nothing wrong with taking it easy for a while. Two miles a day should be enough to maintain your fitness for a while. Sometimes the motivation goes away without explanation, so you are doing a GREAT job keeping up with the running!

Great job on getting in some miles this week.

Get out of this and up your mileage back to 6 miles a day. Mental accidents need to stop. On the positive side, this time your mental accident took you down to 2 miles a day instead of 0. That is good, you are making progress.

You make 2 miles LOOK like nothing too! I was surprised how quickly the time flew. And I was not "fuming," I was emotionally letting off steam and the Chicagoans were my scapegoat. (hee,hee - that's so much better, huh?) ; P
