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.

My left hip was really tight last night when I finished my run, so I slept on a heating pad (on low) all night. In the morning it was SO much worse! Dang it, should've done ice instead. I tried to go for my run, and I seriously made it about 8 steps before I almost cried out. It's a sharp pain right over the ball of the hip joint. It has gotten progressively better throughout the day but not nearly good enough for running. I am walking pretty strangely, favoring my right foot a lot and now my foot is hurting too. Bleh.

Darn it! Some St. George partying will do you good!

Oh man! Don't use heat on a joint pain. Ice and ibuprofen are much better. And Yoga! Try some yoga, chica! Have fun in St. George!!!!
