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 I got up and did a 5K run in 29:06.  I followed that up with P90X Shoulders and Arms, then Ben and I celebrated his birthday with a trip to the sushi buffet!  Yay!  This evening we celebrated by going to spin class at the rec center.  I only made it through a half hour, then my ankle really started to bother me, so I got on the treadmill and ran 2 more miles in 17:16.  After that, we took the kiddies to the pool and swam laps.  I only did 50 lengths, but I figured it was enough to justify a big bowl of ice cream when we got home.  Actually, it was a SMALL bowl of ice cream, but then I had to have another....so tasty!  :D
