| 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: |

| I did a lower body workout this morning. I still didn't get the weights high enough. That P90X must have really made me stronger! I was going to do my water run, but couldn't get to the pool, so I did a 4.5 mile power walk instead. It is really hard to not be able to run. :( | |

| Cardio day. 20 Minute HIIT on the recumbant bike, for starters...I did GOOD! Then this evening, I did a mile on the elliptical devil, which took me 22 minutes to do (and I was being SPEEDY!) then switched to the "easy" one to finish up another mile, which took me 12 minutes to do. What's wrong with this picture? :D | |

| Upper body workout today. I followed it up this evening with 60 minutes of water running at the pool. Wow. My workouts lately are really boring to read about. Oh, well... as long as I get results. :D | |

| I did a 20 minute HIIT on the recumbant bike today. Then I was filmed for an infomercial! It's a brand new company specializing in nutritional drinks. Watch out! My face might be plastered on your internet in a few short weeks - heeheehee! I had planned on going back to the gym this morning to do some elliptical work, but I was called in to do more filming instead. As a side note, my hip flexors were really sore after my water run last night...but after drinking the magic juice I was promoting, I have no discomfort....interesting.... | |

I take it back. Sometimes, I AM going to count walking miles as running miles. Like today. I wanted to find out how fast I could walk a 5K, since I'm going to register to do one on February 6th, and I'm still not allowed to run. I was pleasantly surprised to finish in 42 minutes exactly! (Well, there WERE those 2/100 of a second, but who's counting?) I think if I train for it, I can shave off another two minutes. What is funny to me is that two years ago, that was my RUNNING pace! HA! I love getting faster.
Then this afternoon, I did two full hours of water running. It was a little tricky, since I had my two babies with me, but I discovered that, when neccesary, I CAN water-run with a baby strapped to my back. And THAT is one heck of a workout. I was "running" like crazy, just to keep my head above water! Good times. :D | |
