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 morning Elijah and I ran with Ben at 4:15 am.  We did five miles at a good pace for me.  We used his garmin and found out I've been short-changing myself on my five mile runs...oops!  So today I KNOW we did exactly 5 miles in 48:05.  I felt very comfortable and relaxed the entire run.  Afterwards, I biked with Ben to work, then did a few extra miles by myself before heading home.  I felt great all day until I ate dinner, then I REALLY wanted to go to bed, but I went to the pool instead and did 60 lengths.  It was a good day!  And now....goodnight!  :-)
