Goal Type:

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.

I wasn't planning on running today.  I was just sitting there digesting, and I was seized  by an UNCONTROLLABLE urge to run.  So, luckily, I succumbed to the temptation, even though I had just barely eaten breakfast and was full up to my eyebrows in oatmeal.  Actually, that is probably why I wanted to run.  There is something mystical about oatmeal, isn't there?  It makes you want to be a healthier person.  Think of all the healthiest people you know...what do they eat for breakfast?  Oatmeal every time.

This run felt really delicious.  I was just a little bit sore from yesterday.  Being a little sore actually feels good...you know you are alive, know what I mean?  It felt kinda like a massage on those sorta sore muscles with every step.

Dah!  I had to run during the daylight, and I thought I'd die of shame when my single-guy neighbor watched me for longer than necessary.  There are a couple of things about being a nursing mother that inhibit my running BIG TIME!  This because I produce enough to supply a small country...thirsty, Liechtenstein?

Ahhhhh, sweet darkness.  Back in my comfort zone. 

I only missed one day this week.  Next week I'll try for 100%
