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.

Ran with Christine this morning.  9:59 average pace.  I'm feeling not so hot (queasy and headache) so I am skipping my evening run to save my strength for the run with Mik'L and Shauna tomorrow.  So, taper, I guess.

I got a letter from my son's principal about jay-walking today.  She said that if a policeman were to see me jaywalking, he would give me a written violation.  Sam's principal is a dork. 

1.) Spelled my name wrong

2.) Made a parallelism error (grammar)

3.) Called the police on me before even talking to me about it 

4.) Sent a warning letter which would clearly arrive AFTER I had encountered the policeman she had called

5.) Quoted laws in the body of the text that clearly indicated that what I was doing was NOT actually jay-walking  (I guess there must be a working traffic signal on BOTH sides.  On one side in this case, there is an intersection with no light.)

6.) Apparently had not even noticed that the sidewalk and shoulder along the route she recommended was completely obstructed

7.) Most likely could not run furthur than 400 yds. without passing out

I am slightly miffed.

Lybi,

I would be MIFFED too. Actually, it made me miffed reading it. However, don't give that Bozo any power, forget about it and have a GREAT WEEKEND!

Lybi, sorry to hear about the letter, I'm not sure if I told you but my husband is a elementry principal, he's not here or I'm sure he would definatley side with you and say that he is a dork too, I think so too! Have fun on your run with the blog girls in the morning, I wish I could go with you!!!

She sound power hungry, and must be trying to fill some kind of void in her life. I hope she treats the kiddies good.

From Shauna on Sat, Nov 03, 2007 at 00:36:42

She's probably jealous that she can't run as far as you!

From Christi on Sat, Nov 03, 2007 at 10:38:44

I just think that's plain weird that she singled you out like that. I agree w/ Shauna- probably just jealous that you are a dashing diva! I hope you Shauna & Mik'L are having a good run today!

I have to second the Dork comment, hasn't that principle got anything better to do, gee-wiz... Way to stand your ground Lybi, you always have the most interesting things happen to you, it like your a magnet!!!! Have a good weekend.
