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.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
3.10	0.00	3.10

Once again, I REALLY didn't feel like running today, but as soon as I got started I felt fine. Glad I did it.

2.6 miles at 5 mph on the ol' treadmill.

I'm not really that sore from Saturday's race, except in my shoulders and (weirdly) inner thighs. Plus my throat is still sore. The first mile of the 5K was in a big dirt parking lot (not very scenic) and I must've inhaled a pound of dust. Blech.

.5 tonight with my kiddos plus time spent playing tag (fartleks?)

Gotta get in those 3 miles a day. My weekly mileage for the last four weeks has been:

10.63

13.0

16.0

17.2

So if I go 3 miles all 6 days this week I'll be at 18, which is a new record!

Nice recovery run, it is important to get back to running and work out the kinks. Hope to get the Garmin delivered this week. What is your next race?

I think my next race is on July 4th. There aren't very many races right now here in the Valley of the Sun because it's the off-season. I'm glad I'll have a little more time to get in shape bc I want to see a big improvement!

Congrats on your race...Sasha was beaming with joy when he told me about how well you and James did on your races. We are excited to see you both in a couple of weeks.
