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 was able to go see the Provo Riverwoods 10 miler. It was so cool! Sasha came in way before everyone else. I was surprised by his incredibly long stride. I was super proud of my DH James in Sunny AZ for coming in 1st in his age division (not counting Russian Red-heads who are overall winners). James has a very relaxed/springy gait and didn't even seem to be uncomfortable when he came in. I was also very impressed/inspired to see Sarah come in well under her goal for the race. That woman's got MOXY!

I stood at the finish line and clapped and hollered for just about every single soul who finished. It was great.

.1 Little races at a rest stop with my boys.

I was absolutely committed to running as soon as we got home so I could have a new record in weekly mileage, but we got home later than expected--11:20 or so, and I was ambushed by my bed and sucked in as soon as I walked into my room. So I got 15 miles and change for this week. Next week I will absolutely get 20!

Hey You! I was looking over your week, great consistency! (I'm still working on that, logging too many "goose eggs" as Sasha would say) Isn't the Provo 10 miler great?! I was thinking of it Sat. because I was back in SG, but wishing I was running it. I actually haven't done the 10 miler, but I have done the 10k- they used to do that on the same day as the 10 miler, but I don't think they do anymore. ANYWAY! Make it a great week!
