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.

Day 7

5 easy miles this morning. I am amazed that I was able to get up at 5 ungodly o'clock to get it all done. Partly on treadmill. One mile with CACTUS spines all over my hand. Have you ever seen those red fruits that grow on cactus? I really wanted to see if the fruit was squishy, you know, like a peach? Curiosity is seldom rewarded, I am finding. One mile or so carrying dog...stuff in a baggy. Running is not a dignified sport.

4 Miles outside in New Mexico with my sister, Laura.  She is my ultimate running buddy.  It was really fun for me.  One odd thing is that my leg turnover was about twice as fast as hers and we have the same leg length.  How'd THAT happen?  My leg turnover increased a lot during the period when I was barefooting more.    Ug, Laura made me run FAST at the end.  I thought I would have to slow down a little to stay with her, but she sprinted like greased lightning with about .1 to go and the truth is that I ran as fast as I could and couldn't seem to quite keep even with her.  Sheesh!  Who is the one who's been running longer here?
