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!

Haha!  It wasn't really anything, but I DID run 3/4 of a mile this morning at bootcamp for a warm-up!  I'm going to count it, because it bugs me when there's no entry on my calendar.  :D

After bootcamp, I went over to the pool to get a swim in.  I did 100 lengths in about 56 minutes without stops.  It felt pretty easy.  I'm beginning to understand why people prefer the open water.  Hitting a side wall every 25 meters really DOES mess with the flow!

Nice job with all of that today.
