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.

Great nap this morning.  My two younger boys are sick, and they both konked out for an early morning nap today.   Makes sense, since they were both up a hundred million times in the night.  Actually, my night sleep has been 1 hour at a time (at most!) ever since that night we had to take Adam to the hospital.   Probably that's part of why my body is falling apart.  

I took the day off running, but I did go for an hour walk. 

I bought the most beeeautiful plant today--a calla lilly.  I potted it with basil all around its base.  So it not only looks good, but smells delicious too.  It is making me extremely happy.

Nothing like fresh flowers to perk you up! Good luck taking care of the boys- that can really wear you out- hope they kick it soon! Great job on the walk- I think an hour walk is a great workout!
