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.

Hi guys! No, I am not running. I am doing yoga these days. Not only do I REALLY not want to run while pregnant, but I have been expressly forbidden to run by my OBGYN because of specific risk factors (however, I will admit that I am happy to ignore my OB's advice when they tell me something I do NOT want to agree with, such as only eating protein for breakfast, but whatever.)

But I miss you. What a great group of people are on this blog, and it's so nice and easy to leave comments! None of this trying to figure out the what-the-heck letters are that are all squished up, like you have to do on Blogger.com.

But just a quick note to let you know what I am up to: No good, of course, but also I am starting to "show" and look ridiculous in my yoga class. What are you gonna do? Pregnant warrior pose, that's a good one. Pregnant star, that's my favorite. My fondest hope for this pregnancy is that I not become too big of a whale. Don't laugh. This is what happened to me last time:

There's only one baby in there. Really.

So anything more normal lookin' than that in 4 more months will be considerred progress. Right now I am at the "beluga" stage. Next comes the narwhal, the elephant seal, and the orca stage. I'm good with that. I just want to steer clear of the "record setting grey whale" stage, if at all possible. We'll see, I guess.

If any of you are curious as to what the heck I am up to these days, please see the family blog that I just barely started at lybiw.blogspot.com. I'd love to hear from my virtual running buddies!

Thanks for checking in with us Lybi. Glad to hear that you are doing well. We miss your warmth, humor and everything else.

Well, I'm extremely impressed that no one has bothered to tell me that I am darn humongous in that picture. Very wise on your part, blog.

Jeez! I was wondering what happened to you lately. I must have missed something! I can see why running is out of the question. A tricky balance act it would be.

From Lybi on Tue, Feb 03, 2009 at 00:57:08

Yea, comments! Yes, I am totally pregnant--18 weeks. I'm due in late June (actually July 4th, but don't tell anyone--it sounds so much further away).

Josse! Yea! All that teasing and speculating...we were always trying to tell you that you might be pregnant, and here you are. How exciting! Congratulations!
