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!

Eight miles this morning with my daughter...super slow. It hardly felt like a workout. Then I spent ALL DAY at a call-back rehearsal for "Miss Saigon," only to be sent home....and then called back to sing AGAIN! I didn't eat a thing all day, except for the protein shake after my run, until 6:00 PM.....

I love how this week you are talking about thawing out. How cold is it in St George???

So, you sing, run, and are a mom of 8? Your talents are endless! I hope it went well.

How are you feeling? Did you visit the PT?

She's wonder woman, Kelli.

Hey Cathy, the pictures are posted from the Mesquite Marathon on their website. :)

How is wonder woman these days? Are you healed up?

Hi guys! I'm not feeling much like wonder woman right now...Sadly, I have been confined to my bed for the last five days. Stupid back problem!!! The nerve! Literally! So, of course, Ben has been logging bunches of miles to make me feel MORE like a fat slob laying around the house all day. PT is having me get an MRI tomorrow morning. I hope I survive the car ride. Okay, enough moping! I will go drown my sorrows in some sweet, sweet chocolate. Ah! I feel better just thinking about it! :D

DARN IT! I was hoping you were feeling better. I am sorry. Good luck with the MRI, I hope they get it solved quickly. Have some chocolate fore me (oh, wait, I have already had a ton today!)
