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.

Oh man...  I feel even worse today.  I skipped my "speedwalk" or whatever in favor of laying around horking up cabbage from my lungs.

But the bright side is that I found a you tube clip that really captures the dignity of speedwalking.  I know you will all appreciate it...punks.  Actually, I'm quite certain 95% of you will hate it, so don't bother watching it.

Hey, I said DON'T watch it! Only the seriously ill will find this clip funny enough to reduce them to tears.

HAHAHAHA! Walter you can't blame me for your problem with authority...I totally warned you! But still, like looking at the sun? HAHAHAHAHA! I like the way you think--although this clip really did seem more entertaining to me yesterday when my fever was higher.

And thanks Jody, you cutie. Are you really injured then? I'm so sorry!

I know I keep showing it to friends that come over to my house. Where do people come up with this? I think some people have way too much time on their hands. But I give them props for their efforts. I feel like total doo doo today. I went and did a spin class at 5:30 this morning and almost puked. Tommorrows moab! a half marathon! Im toast! See ya
