| 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 5K run this morning by myself in 26:29, just to keep things moving for the marathon this weekend. After that, I went to Zumba for an hour.
This evening, I went to the pool and swam 100 lengths...I thought about doing more, but then I figured I had better not overdo this week. :D | |

| I met the Tri Club at the High School for a track workout this evening. I was careful not to run too hard, since I'm tapering, but it was nice to get a little speed work in before Saturday. Anyway, it was 100 degrees out there, and I GREATLY dislike running hot! I did a one mile warn-up, 1 x 200, 4 x 100, and 1 x 800, before cooling down with a half mile jog. Total mileage was 3 miles in 24:31. I'm feeling good! | |

Taper week! I was meeting some friends at the all-you-can-eat sushi buffet, so I decided to make it worthwhile by biking there. I did 9.75 miles in 34:19. I was going to bike home, but I changed my mind at the last second and hopped in my friend's car instead.
This evening, I swam a mile at the reservoir. First open-water swim since the Provo Half. I felt pretty good! :D | |

| I did an hour of Zumba this evening, then planned to run a few miles on the treadmill, but my legs were so sore that I decided to call it quits after the first half mile. :( | |

What a day! I'm not going to write much except to say that it was NOT my best race...conditions were NOT perfect like last year, so I did much worse than expected. Apparantly, the majority of runners out there felt about the same way. It was the warmest starting temperature on record for the Saint George Marathon. Not only that, but the Beaver fires have been blowing smoke in our direction for days, so the air quality was not great. Whatever. My feet were killing me within the first few miles, and that pretty much was it for the race. I would have quit and walked the race out, but I had friends waiting for me at mile 25, and I didn't want to dissappoint them by showing up late....so...I kept running. Glad it's over!!! :D | |
