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!

This morning we transferred to another room, this time with a KING sized bed!  Yay.  Other than our flight and room disasted, we are having a fantastic time in the Dominican republic!  This morning we woke up at 6:30 and ran around the resort, to get a better feel for it.  We did 3 miles in 29:35, then did a little more running on the treadmills in the gym.  We argued about the mileage, since the treadmill said it was in kilometers, but I was positive that 7.0 FELT like i was running 7 MPH.  When I finished another mile in just over 9 minutes, I kknew that no matter WHAT the treadmill said on the display, I was measuring in MPH, NOT KPH!  I was happy to be proved right when I finished, since the final readout showed MPH.  We had a fantastic breakfast - I ate an ham and egg-white omelet loaded with veggies, and fresh caribbean fruit for my carb.  Then Ben and I went back to the gym to catch the spin class.  I rode for 50 minutes, sweating like crazy in this humidity.  Tonight we are having dinner at a Japanese Teppanyaki grill...soooo tasty!  Then we plan to go back to the gym for some weight training.  :D
