| 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 started out the morning with an upper body workout. Ben was still running when I finished, so I chased it down with a few assisted pull-ups, some torso rotations, and some ab work. Then this evening, we went to the rec center and I decided it was time to try out cycling again. So we went to the cardio spin/weights class, and I did 10 miles in 30 minutes, plus ANOTHER upper body workout! I finished off the night with a 60 minute water-run. | |

| What is up with my weight being...up? I've been so good for a month! But I'm definately putting on some muscle. I took pics at the beginning of the month and at the end of the month, and I can totally tell a difference! I'm excited to finish my 18 week challenge, to see what kind of muscles I've got hiding beneath all the fluff. :D I guess I had a good workout yesterday, because I'm pretty tired today. I did my 20 minute HIIT on the recumbant bike this morning, and my legs were shaking like leaves when I was finished! So I took it easy the rest of the day, and just did an hour of yoga this evening. I am SO ready for sleepy-time! | |

I did my lower body workout this morning, but I decided to do a little warm-up on the elliptical-of-death first, just to shake things up. So I spent 5 minutes on there, and it felt so good, I almost RAN! But I restrained myself, and went to work lifting weights. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it seemed so much easier today! Was it the warm-up? Or am I just amazingly strong? Or both? :D
Tonight I did 65 minutes of water-running in the pool. That, and the .21 miles I did on the ellipitcal (yes, I'm counting it!) makes my total miles for today 6.71. :) | |

| Well, 40 minutes may seem like a long time to run a 5K in, but considering I can't run and had to WALK the whole thing, it's not too bad! :D I don't have my official time yet, but I'm pretty sure I did it in under 40 minutes. That race was SO crowded! Ben and I were the last ones to cross the starting line, but we had to weave like crazy to get around all the people, their strollers, and their dogs. How irritating! Still, it was kind of fun to get to pass so many people. I was hoping to do the walk in about 40-42 minutes, so I feel pretty happy about the race. Oh, how I MISS running, though! Walking fast is SO much harder! :D | |
