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!

This evening I went to the rec center and did a little something. I tried to warm up on the elliptical (without arms) but it drove me crazy, so I switched to the treadmill and did the same run as I did on Tuesday. Then I followed it up with a little more elliptical, some stationary biking, an ab workout, and some stretching. Ben went running with my Physical Therapist this morning, and he told Ben that he should be very concerned about my "condition," and get some treatment going right away before I kill the nerves and cause serious damage or something. Hmmmm....I wonder where I'm going to get the money and the time to take care of it. Mostly the money. Bad timing. :(

Oh Cathy :( I'm sorry your back hurts. Maybe if you ignore it, it'll go back to normal. That's what I'd do.

Money in December is quite hard to come by (and I only have 5 kids!!!) I am sorry that things are not all the way better, you do need to get it taken care of!! BUMMER. Be careful.

Thanks Burt and Kelli for checking in on me! I've been officially "grounded." Six weeks off running while I go through decompression treatment. Ack!

That actually sounds painful. Hang in there kiddo.

I am so sorry, but in 6 weeks I look forward to hearing about how much better you are feeling!!!
