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.

Ahhhh.  Now that I have a whole week under my belt, I'm starting to feel like an experienced runner again (haha).  I still jiggle like jello with every step, but I lost over a pound in the last 5 days so at least I'm heading the right direction.  What's getting me through this stage of feeling really, shall we say, fluffy, and having a very limited wardrobe that fits is that I KNOW I will succeed in getting back into shape.  I don't doubt it.  Just gotta believe it enough...well, that and actually get out the door

A pound this week! That is awesome! It will fall right off with consistent running, no doubt. Be kind to yourself though- we are entering the very tough holiday season? Are you doing "WW"? (I know the real name for this is off limits on this blog) :)

Nice to see you back Lybi!! I can't wait to run with you and get your 5K goal. I will come to Phoenix and run with you!

What????? Excuse me???? You'll come to Phoenix to run with Lybi, but not with me??? I'm hurt.

OK Burt, you can come along to pull the cart (that I will need to ride in to keep up with Bonnie). Giddiup!

But yes, Bonnie, give me a little bit of time to get back into some kind of running shape and then let's go!

What makes you think I could keep up with Bonnie?
