Running Accomplishments:

I started running in September 2007 - 4 months after baby #8 was born. Since then I have finished two 5Ks, three 10Ks, three half-marathons, and I completed my first Marathon with at time of 4:48- the Phoenix Rock-N-Roll - Jan 2009! Marathon #2 showed GREAT improvement - the Saint George Marathon 2009 with a time of 4:10 - YEAH!!!!

Short-Term Running Goals:

I want to run more marathons, finish injury-free, go dancing afterwards, and mostly have a LOT of FUN!!!

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running!!! Someday I want to be able to consider myself as something other than a beginner. :D

Personal:

I am happily married, have 8 children, and am madly in love with my awesome husband!!! Besides running, I love performing on stage, and have recently become re-involved in the theater, after a LONG break to have children. Last summer I did my first show as a PAID professional actress! I teach piano and voice lessons, and homeschool my kids. Life is grand!

Elijah and I ran early this morning...and I felt GREAT! We did our five mile loop in about 46 minutes...slowly getting back my speed. My legs felt good and tired afterwards, but not fatigued. I think I'll see if Ben wants to bike to the pool tonight to do our laps....

Great bike ride! It was at least 8 miles each way, and I swam 80 lengths at the pools. I've felt great all day! I'm going to sleep well now. :-)

I got my offical times:

Swim 16:11 transition 1:55

Bike 39:06 transition 1:08

Run 23:45

I should have done better with the run.

Thanks for the great bike ride/swim! I love that you humor me, even when you're tired. :D AND I think your times look pretty impressive...although I'm sure next time you'll do better on the run. Someday I hope to run a 5K in 23 minutes...ooooh! That would be so AWESOME!

I should of known you homeschool too..we really would be great buddies...I don't think I even mention it on my personal page..but it is a fact. :)

See, Sarah! I KNEW we had a lot in common. It's not that many women who are "madly in love" with their husbands and are willing to have a lot of children on purpose, and even fewer still who are crazy enough to homeschool. I love meeting a fellow "freak!" I bet if we got together we would find even more commonalities. So when is the next time you'll be racing in Saint George? :D
