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 did another run along the coast this morning.  I was hoping my shins would be feeling better, but they were doing the same thing as yesterday.  I ended up doing 4.2 miles in 42:01.  I'm thinking I'll have to take it pretty easy from this point on so that I can get my 18-20 miles in on Saturday.  :D

Tonight I did a 20 minute HIIT on the recumbant bike.  I did 5.27 miles.  I'm not sure if I'm sweating so hard because I'm hitting a "10," or if it's because it is so stinkin' HOT in the gym here!!!  Well, at least my sweat glands are getting a good workout....  :-)

I just asked your husband where you guys were, now I know! Are the kids all with you???

So, what do you think of those shape up shoes?

Hope you guys are having fun. I will come back to check and see how the long run went today!
