Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

Keep Running and  Never Give up!

Personal:

Married, 4 kids, started running to lose mommy weight and have alone time. Now I run bc of EVERYTHING

strength, sanity, awareness, confidence, attitude, health, peace, life, and Because I CAN

Race: Centerville Freedom Run (3.1 Miles) 00:27:58
Total Distance
3.10

Drove up to Centerville with Scott to do the same 5k we did last year. Met JD, Mrs. JD and my brother in law Gary. It was fun! I thought for a minute I beat my B.I.L. but no such luck. He came in about 45 seconds faster or something annoying like that. I thought it would be a long shot to beat him anyway, so I was happy I at least got close to him! JD kicked butt again. Mrs. JD kicked butt again. And my hubby who HARDLY ever exercises came in at 25 minutes. JERK! Fun morning!

Awesome job Lysa. We should all get together to run more often. And next year we should try to get as many people as possible to come run this!

Good job getting Gary there. Lol!

I just looked it up..I missed being tied to my PR by 4 seconds. ugh. oh well. I don't really care.

From JD on Sat, Jul 02, 2011 at 12:54:47 from 71.37.100.47

4 seconds! Nice! Especially considering this Centerville course is not an easy PR kind of run; it's an "honest" course.

Nice job Lysa! I had to laugh at the comment about your hubby. I feel the same way! I'm out here day after day working hard then they stand up off the couch and kick my trash? YUCK! NOT fair!

Sorry about the shortly missed PR, but it sounds like you are getting close to smashing it soon! Congrats.

Guys can just run faster even though we work harder at it! Sounded like a fun run! I love running with family. What a great way to start off a holiday! :)
