| 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 left home for my rehearsal at 9:00 yesterday, then arrived home at 11:30 PM...and it looks like I will be out until between midnight and 2:00 AM every night this week! So I will proably have a REALLY easy run week. I forced myself out of bed at 7:15 this morning, then did a short run of 2.55 miles in 24 minutes. I tried running without my brace, just to see what would happen. It hurt a little, but I'm thinking I'd better be smart and keep using it for a while longer so that I don't re-injure it. | |

| I got home last night after midnight, so I slept in until almost 8:00! Even though I'm sure it's all in my head, it feels too hot to run after eight, so I decided to go on a longer bike ride. I rode up to Ivins and down around through Sata Clara. I did the 25 mile ride in 1:31:41, including all stops. The first 15 took me an hour, but I was flying home! I really took it easy - could have gone faster, but I didn't want to this time. :D | |

| I "slept in" today...if you can call dozing between children's whines "sleeping." So I was thinking that I wouldn't get a workout in. But I ended up having a long break between rehearsals, so I was able to go to the gym this evening. It was my first time on the treadmill in MONTHS, and I can't believe how much easier it was than before! I did 3.1 miles in 29 minutes - no land speed record, but I always had to go slower on the treadmill before - it would just kill me to do over a 10 minute mile! This time, I sarted at an 11:00 minute mile and ended at a 7:30 mile, and felt like I barely worked out afterwards - I love that! After running, I did an hour of yoga, and went off to a rehearsal until 2:00 AM....whew! | |

| I stayed in bed until 8:00 am after being out until 2:30 this morning. Then I got up and hopped on my bike - and did 15.5 miles in 53:32 - not a bad start for my very LONG day. Rehearsal until after midnight tonight... :D | |

I was up until 1:00 this morning, but was able to get up at 5:30 am for a nine-mile run anyway. Elijah and I ran with Katie and Kim, doing 4.5 miles out and back. Elijah and I stayed with the girls for the first half, finishing it in 49:54, but we left them on the way home and did the second half in 41:53. I feel pretty good about the run. I think I'll try to get a nap in now, before I leave for another LONG day of rehearsals. :D | |
