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!

Ironman training begins in earnest today!  I'm also going to try to do 90 days of P90X.  So I started out the morning with Chest and Back, followed by ab-ripperX.  Then I went to the pool.  UGH!!!  I arrived at the pool without my favorite googles, swim cap, or ear plugs. Then they had switched the lanes to meters instead of yards. I got really dizzy everytime I stopped swimming, so it was a short swim. But I had some coaching, so it was good.  I'll have some new things to practice this week.  I quit at 40 lengths, which means I'll have to squeeze in an extra workout sometime this week.  I swam 1000 meters...how many yards is that?!?  :D
