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!

Tonight I met the tri club out at the high school track fro some speed work.  It was my first time doing this, but there were a bunch of other first-timers there, too.  Wow!  It kicked my trash - I loved it!  We did a bunch of sprints, accelerations, gliders, etc. and we had a coach there, Dennis, who helped correct our form and taught us about running technique.  I learned so much.  He said I had beautiful form - yay for me!  Now I know what my form is supposed to look like, I'll be concentrating more on keeping it that way.  All together, I ran a total of 5 miles in 39:08...clearly, it was in short bursts of speed - haha!  But it was fun to see those numbers on my garmin.  I'm pretty sure my legs are going to be very angry with me tomorrow... :D
