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!

Even though I was up late last night at a performance, I managed to pull myself out of bed at 5:00 AM to go running with Britnee. It had to be an easy run, because I am SOOO tired, and because I did speedwork last night.  So we ran 5 minutes and walked 1 minute for the duration of the run.  I did 4.5 miles in 45:04. Then I went directly to bootcamp, where I taught my first yoga class...it was a great choice for me today.  I really needed the stretch.

This evening I went to the gym to do Zumba for an hour.  Even though I physically could do it, I am literally so tired that I can't think straight, so I was having a hard time following the dance moves.  Consequently, I had a so-so workout. 

I've noticed that I've been reaching for a lot of foods that I know are NOT good for me (sugary stuff, mostly!) and I think it's because I'm getting so little sleep that I'm trying to compensate for my low energy levels.  I have really tried to eat clean today, and have been fairly successful, but I also felt the sleep deprivation today more than ever.  I'm really excited that tonight I am actually going to be able to go to bed at a decent hour!!!  I hope I can sleep...
