| Location: Saint George,UT, Member Since: Jun 09, 2009 Gender: Female Goal Type: Marathon Finish 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! Favorite Blogs: |

| I started the day with a nice run. I ran the first 20 minutes with Britnee, covering 1.8 miles. It was a good warm-up. Then I ditched her and finished the remaining 3.2 miles in 28:57. That's a far cry from the 24 minute 5K that Galloway's race predictor says I need to do to make a sub-four marathon....guess I've got some work to do. So I went home and did the P90X legs routine, and followed it up with Ab-Ripper. This afternoon Ben and I went swimming, and I did a pretty relaxed 44 lengths. I had a protein shake instead of ice cream tonight...ahhhh! | |

| I had to do 30 minutes of running for my training schedule, so I started out at about a 10:30 minute mile pace, and gradually increased my speed. I felt pretty good, and found myself running at about 8:25 at the end of the run. I stopped at exactly 30 minutes, and had covered 3.3 miles. Then, to thaw out after my run, I did P90X Cardio X. Everything felt really good until the last 10 minutes, when suddenly my back tweaked, and now I'm having that same irritating muscle spasm in my lower back/piriformis. I tried to do yoga this evening, but gave up after the first 10 minutes, since any kind of bending over sends shooting pains into my tailbone. I was feeling so GOOD! It's extremely frustrating. | |

| I took the day off today. But I DID wear my running stability tights all day, because the support felt SO GOOD on my back! Does that count? :D I'm supposed to run 90 minutes tomorrow, so I went to the gym this evening and tried a little running. Then I rode the stationary bike for awhile. I walked for 5 minutes on the treadmill, then ran a mile, and walked another 5 minutes. It felt all right after the first minute or so, so I'm going to go ahead and get up early for my run. We shall see what happens... | |

| Ben and I ran with a new group of people today, and had so much fun! We left at 5:00am, and ran a trail by the river, which was icy cold, but I didn't realize I was frozen until I began to thaw out - OUCH! The sciatic didn't bother me too much on the run, but all day long afterwards it was a little testy. I think I'm going to have to take tomorrow off from any and all forms of exercise. I may even break down and go visit a PT. | |

| Eight miles this morning with my daughter...super slow. It hardly felt like a workout. Then I spent ALL DAY at a call-back rehearsal for "Miss Saigon," only to be sent home....and then called back to sing AGAIN! I didn't eat a thing all day, except for the protein shake after my run, until 6:00 PM..... | |
