| Location: Saint George,UT, Member Since: Jun 09, 2009 Gender: Female Goal Type: Marathon Finish 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! Favorite Blogs: |

| After spending Saturday night and Sunday with a nice case of food poisoning, I took the morning off to regain my strength and attempt to rehydrate. Then this evening we took our family back to the Washington Rec Center where I did 30 minutes on the elliptical (NOT as hard as the St. George Rec Center's version) until my feet fell asleep, then I switched to the stationary bike for 30 minutes. After that, I did some leg work...leg presses and hamstring curls, followed up with 3-way calf raises. Then Ben and I drove all the way across town so I could get in my 40 minutes of water running. All in all, not a bad workout for the evening. :D | |

| I got out of bed at 5:00 am so that I could work out before going to the torture chamber. I did a mile on the elliptical from h**l, then did another 20 minutes on the recumbant bike before I did my ab work and stretched. I thought about going back to the gym tonight, but decided to stay at home and eat chocolate and cookies all night instead. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I'll probably regret it later. Unless I just stay off the scales for a few more days. :) | |

| Britnee and I did an upper body workout this morning...chest, shoulders, back, triceps, and biceps. This evening I did 40 minutes on the elliptical machine and then another 30 minutes on the recumbant bike. I ran out of time to do my water running. I'm feeling a little discouraged because I feel like I just can't do anything to really get my heart rate pumping. Or maybe I'm just discouraged because I've been eating so much chocolate. What are the odds? | |

| I did P90X core synergistics this morning...abbreviated, of course. I was able to get my heart rate up a little, but not as much as I would like. I'm excited, though, because I've decided to take the next three months that I can't run and do Bill Phillip's Transformation Challenge! Might as well do something productive, and it will give me a positive goal to move towards while my back is healing. I'll be starting the program on Monday. I'm tired of being a skinny flabby girl. I want to be a skinny, muscley girl! Yeah! :D | |

| I actually got in a "long run" today! Yay! I spent 80 minutes water running...I even did some speed work. I had to quit the speed stuff after about an hour because I felt like I was getting shin splints - in the water! - who knew? Overall, I feel pretty good about what I accomplished. Next weekend, I will try to do 100 minutes, and 120 the week after that. Hopefully all this time in the water will actually help me not to lose all my run-ability.... | |
