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!

I ran around four miles this morning, followed by eight miles on the bike.  This evening I swam 50 lengths at the pool.  If I could just increase those distances and squish them all together, I could try a tri!

Today was not a running day...obviously.  I just couldn't resist doing a little at the track when I went to pick up my husband.  I did 20 min. HIIT on the eliptical at the gym, and was planning to do yoga this evening, but had an AWESOME massage instead.  What a great day!

I woke up this morning to do my run, but had a terrible case of sciatica, so, to be safe, I skipped my morning regime and went to the chiropractor instead.  He said I had muscle spasms in my back, probably due to some minor injury in one of the disks, so he treated me, prescribed me some stretches, and gave me the OK to continue running, biking, and swimming...as long as I listen to my body and stop if it doesn't feel right.  So this evening, I hurried to the gym to run two miles on the treadmill (yuck!) and then rushed to the pool to get 50 lengths in before my rehearsal started.  It's not as much as I hoped to do, but at least it was something.  :D

This morning I ran 5 miles easy...just to see how my sciatic felt.  It was a little uncomfortable at first, but once I got going, I felt pretty good.  Tonight I'm going to TRY Zumba at the gym, and maybe a little yoga.  I don't want to make it worse.....

I ran with Elijah 8.5 miles this morning.  I did some light hill training and added a few fartleks on the downhill sides.  I felt great afterwards!
