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 woke up early this morning (what was I thinking?!?) and went for a bike ride with my friend Kim.  It felt like I was starting over, and I was SO tired from the short nights and all the running around over the last few days, so we took it REALLY easy.  We rode along the road to Gunlock, just having a great conversation the whole way.  The ride took us 1:10:34.

When I arrived home, I actually took the time to SHOWER and then headed out the door to finish some more school shopping...but Ben called me and said he wanted a lunchtime run, and was willing to push the kids in the stroller, so...THIS IS WHY I DON'T SHOWER!!!!  Just kidding.  I get at least one every day - haha!  Anyway, we ran at 12:30, just a 5K around the neighborhood, but even though it was an "easy" run, it was HARD!  It's been a long time since I've run in the heat.  It was about 90 degrees outside.  It took me 29:39 to do the 3.1 miles.  Now I need a nap!

I am just one of those people, I guess. Stinky, but likable.
