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!

Our plane ended up being delayed for FOUR hours!!!  So we didn't fly out of Vegas until 3:00 am.  Ben and I arrived in Punta Cana around 2:00 in the afternoon, and were checked into the Moon Palace Resort by about 4:00.  We ordered room service, took a much needed shower and a short nap, then discovered that the plumbing to the sink was disconnected, and we flooded our bathroom.  So we walked around the resort while they fixed our bathroom, then enjoyed an incredible mexican dinner and attended a Caribbean show.  When we got back to our room, we realized that our door didn't latch unless slammed, our television was gutted, and when we tried to go to bed, the smell of the mattress was horrendous!!!  So we asked for a new room, and at midnight, we finally were able to get transferred to a new room!  The only problem there, was that it had two double beds in it, instead of a king.  But we were so exhausted, we squeezed into the tiny bed and went to sleep.  Needless to say, we had a busy day.  :D

I would so be happy with the double beds. Poor Ben was probably thinking, "Ah man! Now I have to cuddle."
