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.

Perfection takes many forms.  Sometimes it is the mixture of sun on the mountains with dark clouds in the background.  Sometimes it is when you play a song for the first time with no mistakes.  Sometimes it is the joy in a little baby's smile.  But sometimes. very rarely, it is a chubby mom getting her shoes on every day of the week and running an extremely slow 'start from scratch" mile.  Yea me.

Isn't it a miracle how the body can recover from being cut in half? A few months ago you could hardly walk down the hallway. And now you are running! Congratulations on running six days in a row! It will continue to get better, slowly of course. But it will get better I promise.

Lybi, chubby mom won't be chubby for long, keep up the good work. Great post today.
