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!

We did our hill workout at Pioneer Park this morning.  I did a 1 mile warm-up, 6 hill repeats with 10K pace going up and IM pace going down, and then a cool down to total 6.05 miles in 1:01:21, including over 12 minutes of walking.  I ran with my friend Tige all morning...it was really nice to have someone to run with who goes about the same pace as me and who distracted me with conversation so I could forget how TIRED my legs are this week!

I needed to get a bike ride in, so I rode to Ivins for my voice lesson and then back home again, for a total of 25 miles in 1:33:20.  I am really, REALLY tired.  I need to rest up so that I can ride the veyo loop again on Thursday, and run the Las Vegas Ragnar Relay this weekend.  :S
