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!

It has been a LONG day... I woke up early and took Elijah out running for the first time in months!  We only made it 2.1 miles, and we did it in 20:56.  I guess that's all right for the first run.  We are running low on time to get him re-conditioned!!!

Then Britnee and I went to bootcamp, and straight from there met up with a fun group of people and hiked all day in Zion's National Park - the subway hike!  It was only about 9 miles, but it took us six hours to get through, including jumping off rocks, repelling, swimming through dark pools of ice cold water, and some of the most beautiful scenery ever!  What a fun day.

We made it back to town in time to hit the lake with the tri club for an open water swim, but by then I was so HUNGRY for real food, that Britnee and I decided to bag the swim in favor of eating sandwiches at - of all places - SUBWAY!  Now it's off to the theater for me...  :D
