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

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.

I miss running.  I miss blogging, too.  Last night I had a Fast Running Blog dream.  Everybody from the blog was going for a 20 mile run together.  Everyone was there, Kim and Tom, Sarah and Sasha, Lucia, Camille, Monaflash etc. etc.  But I got sent back after half a mile and everyone else went without me.  I was very distressed about it.  Geez!

So I'm waiting for this mildly sprained ankle to heal enough to go for a short jog.  It doesn't bother me very much unless I've been on my feet too long.  Then it aches.   I bet I could probably run a mile on it now with minimal pain, but I think it would ache afterward, and probably take longer to heal.  So I wait...but not idly!  I am trying to focus on improving my sleep habits and eat healthier.

Ooooh!  I've started eating a "goddess salad" every morning for breakfast.  It's basically 2 cups of fresh spinach, several sliced strawberries, some chopped nuts, and a honey vinegarette dressing.  It is yummy, and I feel so dang healthy for eating it!  Then about 2 hours later, I have "second breakfast,"  oatmeal.  (Yes, I am on the Hobbit eating schedule.  Elevensies next...)

Anyway, though I feel like a goober posting when I'm not running, I think I'm going to do it anyway.  Sorry.
