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!

I guess my cleanse helped out a bit...I lost almost 4 pounds from yesterday morning!  I guess it's easy to lose weight when it's just junk food and not fat you're getting rid of.  :D

This morning I went running for three miles.  It was a great recovery run!  I alternated two minutes running/two minutes walking, and finished in 35:36. I can't believe how GREAT I feel!  There is some slight soreness in my hips, but nothing out of the ordinary.  I never had anything that caused me to have to alter my walk.  Wow.  If every marathon could be a great as the one on Saturday, I could run one every month! 

I finished up my workout this morning with P90X CardioX.  I'm going to incorporate more P90X into my regimen.  Also, I'm registered for my first triathlon in November, so I'm going to have to step up my training in the bike and swim.  I'm planning a half marathon also in four weeks.  I really want to do another marathon, and I don't want to wait a year to do it!  I wonder how soon I can attempt it, without compromising my health....
