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!

This morning I went to the Dominican version of Zumba class again.  I tried to keep my legs and feet going and put a little more bounce in my step, so I think I got a little better work out than last time.  The Dominicans seem to be very laid back, so often when the teacher would change songs, class would stop altogether for a few minutes while he fiddled with his Ipod.  So I just jumped around a lot.  I had a good time.

After class, I hopped on the treadmill for another HIIT workout.  I started level 5 at 6.0 MPH, took a one minute walk break in the middle to drink some water, and topped it off at 9.0 MPH.  It's funny, because I did the same workout as last time, using the same levels, but with one minute LESS of walking, but I logged an extra (almost) quarter of a mile!  Go figure.  I finished 2.43 miles in 21 minutes.  Yay, me.  :D
