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!

Something I ate did NOT agree with me last night, so I spent an uneasy night with all sorts of stomach pains and cramps.  Dang it.  I slept in, then decided to try out a run, to see if I could do it without doubling over.  So I walked over to the gym, and di a 3.13 mile run in a little over 31 minutes.  I felt pretty good while running, but felt pretty badly afterwards.  So I took it easy for the rest of the day, and Ben and I went on an excursion through parts of the Dominican Republic, touring a tobacco making place, the hill country near Punta Cana, and a typical Dominican residence and coffee/chocolate plantation.  I drank the BEST hot cocoa of my life!  And we bought some pretty souveniers - yay!  When we returned to the resort, we went back to the gym and I ran another 2.2 miles in 20:30, then did a short lower body workout with some squats, leg presses, leg curls, and some ab-ripper.  We ate dinner at a Brazillian barbeque, but my appetite is still somewhat weak.  When we returned to our room, I filled up the jacuzzi with some extra hot water, sweat like crazy for awhile, then we went to see an awesome show with a Michael Jackson impersonator!  It was a good day.  :D
