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!

Ben and I woke up at 4:00 this morning to do P90X Chest and Back/Ab-RipperX.  We only did about half of the abs, before we ran out of time and had to head out to the rec center to meet up with Craig for spinning.  It took me awhile on the bike to feel warmed up, but I figure most Mondays are going to be a recovery spin for me anyway, so I just took it easy on the bike, keeping my cadence around 90-105.  Immediately after the bike, I ran out the door of the rec center for a 30 minute run.  It started downhill, so I was feeling really good, and I ended up having a fantastic run!  By the time I hit the big hill, I was pumping and feeling really good.  Ben was late picking me up, so I just kept on running, and ended up doing 5 miles in 41:40.  I almost made it home.  :D

I was supposed to do a 2500 yard swim after that, but my body's cycle had other things in mind, so I'm skipping today's swim.  I guess having a low yard swim week once a month is going to be unavoidable for me...  :S
