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.

Blechy day. This was supposed to just be my extra mile, but I didn't get out this evening as planned because I was needed at home. It's probably good to rest a little. I am still coughing a ridiculous amount.

I am feeling pessimistic about doing the Striders half. My training has been pathetic for a very long time.

One bright spot from today is that my little 3 year-old is making me so proud. He has memorized some verses of scripture describing our religious beliefs (The Articles of Faith). He's just barely potty trained and he's got the first three memorized! I'd been teaching them to my older guys, and he just picked them up. It's funny to hear his little mouth say big ol' words like "atonement," or "ordinances."

Well, I left out the part about how I forgot it was early release day today, and left my older son at school for half and hour after it ended. Oops! There goes my "Mother of the Year" award.

So cute that your little one is already saying the articles! The sooner the better, we are having a bit of a cram session here w/ my 10 (almost 11) year old! I'm thinking no to Striders too. Bascially cause March has been too expensive and full of trips already- not sure I'm up for more expense & travel eary April. Sorry for being LAME!
