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.

I just got home from my yoga class today.  I really love the songs.  I always come out of my class with an increased awareness of my posture.  I really like that.  I hope I can avoid becoming too swayback as I get bigger.  By the way, I had my first unintentionally rude comment from a well-meaning stranger.  I was REALLY tired by the end of yesterday, and sitting around at a blue and gold banquet for my son's scouting program (all slumped over my tummy), and this lady cam up and said "Are you tired?  Hang in there, you're almost done with this pregnancy!"  I didn't have the heart to tell her I was due in JULY!!!!  Quite a few months still to go, but people think I am ready to pop from 5 months onward.  It gets sooo old to go to church and have people always saying "are you still here?  When are you going to finally have that baby?!"  *Jagged sigh.*  At least I still feel really good.  I can pick stuff up off the floor and see my toes and all.  Little things you can take for granted...

I'll try to post a pregnant picture soon--then YOU guys can help decide it I look full term already or not, and vote on whether I still have abs, which is doubtful.

I hate hearing "Are you still here?" or "Wow, you haven't had the baby yet?". I got that ALOT at work. It wasn't cool. I bet you look super cute though. I can't wait to see the picture.
