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!

Even though we stayed up until 1:00 AM like the fools we are, I got up at 6:00 so that I could go try out my legs for 10 miles.  I ran with the gals for the first eight miles, which was probably good for me, since the left adductor is still feeling funny.  It feels like it's going to pop at any time, so I guess I need to be really careful this next week to let it rest up.  I'm not good at being careful, as is evident by my previous behavior.  We ran/walked the first eight miles in 1:40:14.  Joshua and Hyrum were with us, but Hyrum only did 5 miles.  At the end, Joshua and I ran the last two miles in 18:30...no land speed record, but I didn't want to pull a muscle.  I promised Ben that I wouldn't do anything else today to workout, so I'm going to try to keep that promise.  Instead, I'm going to eat candy and junk food like there's no tomorrow!  Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.  :D

I wonder if there's a way to kinesiotape the adductor muscle?  Hmmm....
