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.

Ha! So I got third.  Doh!  I vacillate between feeling proud of myself that I did it, and fared well against my chubby yet determined competition, and wishing I could go back and do those last 2 weeks over with sufficient calories and WIN!  But in a way I DID win, because I feel much better at my normal weight now when I run.  And by the way, I haven't missed a day of running in a while, I need to go back and update my blog.

AND today is the last day of my youth.  Tomorrow I turn 33!   (But it's only 4.71 in dog years, so I guess it's not THAT old.)

Hope you guys all had great Easter weekends!

Lybi - no running updates, crazy dog butt smelling, no tales of the unusual. Still running?
