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!

I did another HIIT on the treadmill today.  Yay!  I did a warm-up run of 1 mile in 10:04, then stopped to stretch.  Then I started the 20 minute HIIT, but this time I warm-ed up at 6.0 MPH, and topped off at 10.0 MPH.  It felt great to do a good sprint!  After the HIIT, I continued cooling down for another .16 miles, making my total miles for the day 3.6.  I want to do more with burst training, since the pro athlete we had dinner with the other night (Matt Lieto) said that interval work is ALL the training he does.  :D

Well, I didn't do a background or credit check on him or anything, but I found his website. Pro triathlete, likes to help others, etc., etc.
