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.

Ahhhh.  Now that I have a whole week under my belt, I'm starting to feel like an experienced runner again (haha).  I still jiggle like jello with every step, but I lost over a pound in the last 5 days so at least I'm heading the right direction.  What's getting me through this stage of feeling really, shall we say, fluffy, and having a very limited wardrobe that fits is that I KNOW I will succeed in getting back into shape.  I don't doubt it.  Just gotta believe it enough...well, that and actually get out the door

See?  This is what happens when you get over confident.  You pull some kind of weird muscle playing soccer with your kids in the park.  It feels like a bad side cramp that just won't go away.  Ever had anything like that?  It is markedly better today, so I'm sure it's nothing serious.  That's the kind of soccer mom I am.  The kind that injures myself playing it with my kids, instead of attacking other soccer moms at games.

Temps were so perfect tonight!  I wish I could just bottle up this night for safe keeping, and then whip it out whenever I am dead tired of the summer heat. 

One mile didn't seem too terribly long tonight--even with my little perpetual side cramp.  Tomorrow I will try for a little longer route.
