Long-Term Running Goals:

Eventually my husband wants me to run a marathon with him. My other goals is to try and keep healthy and fit for life.

Personal:

Married to my handsome husband (Big Dog) with 5 beautiful children, Anycia 16, AJ 13, McKade 8, Jadyn 5, and Kamri 9 months.  I just had Kamri in September and I am trying to get into shape after 9 years.  One thing against me is my Rheumatoid Arthritis that I have had since I was 16.  Working through it and trying to keep going.  My husband is a great support and a runner himself.  I just wanted to join in and do something he does...maybe I will be able to keep up with him someday.  So yes I am definitely a beginner runner.

Went to the gym on my lunch with my husband. I was having a hard time today running. I would get a side ache so I would walk then start running again and then my legs were aching for some odd reason.  Just a real weird run. But I did it and that is what matters!

Did a spinning class and then ran two miles after. My legs were so heavy...it was hard. But I need to keep doing these things so I can do the triathlon.

I am a complete slacker...not much running going on this last weekend. Saturday I was a busy girl. I am a photographer as a little side job (I really enjoy doing it) and I had 3 appointments that day plus my hubby was gone to a golf tournament in Price so I didn't get much time to run. Weather was crappy in the morning and then I took pictures in the afternoon.  Anyways, I am running a 5k in St. George (Run 4 Kids) this weekend. My very first race...SCARY! Actually I am really looking forward to it. So hopefully it will go well. Hoping to run tonight...maybe even outside if the weather cooperates!

Just went on a brisk walk down to the local bike shop to try and fix our jog stroller. It rears to the right and is a little annoying. Leaving for St. George in the morning hoping to run when I get there. I have had really bad cramps so that has put a damper on things...sometimes being a woman completely sucks! Oh well!  I run my first race in 4 days...SCARY yet Exciting! I will blog about it when I get back!

Well today was the Run-4-kids race. I ran with my little kids, McKade 8 and Jadyn 5, in the 1k and pushed a jog stroller with Kamri (6 1/2 months old) in it and then ran in the 5k. It was a fun race but the hills sucked! I was not ready for the hills and so I tried to walk a little up the hills. My goal was to run under 30 minutes and I did it! WAHOO! I ran in 29:29. I was 11th in my age group and 49th overall. Not too shabby for my very first race ever!

My husband took 2nd in his division (10k) by losing to the first place person by 2 seconds, bummer! My son AJ took 2nd in his division (10k)! My daughter Anycia took 1st in her division (5k) and her first race! My sister Erin took 1st in her division (10k) and 3rd overall! My brother Dave ran the 10k too but didn't place but still came in 8th in his division! My Mom Jacquie took 5th in her age division and this was her first race ever too! So we had a bunch of people running. I had lots of family do the 1k and cheer us on when we came in to cross the finish line.

Overall it was lots of fun and I am excited for my next event...well not really I just saw the elevation maps for my triathlon...SCARY! Hopefully it will go well.

Swam before my spin class.

Went to Spin Class and sat on the bike with a milage timer and got 10.3 miles.

Went to Spin Class then went and ran outside 2 miles...it was difficult but hopefully will start getting easier the more I do it. I have 2 1/2 weeks until my triathlon.

Went home and then ran outside with my hubby! It was windy and hard. My legs felt so heavy...but we did it. My hubby runs faster than I do and he was nice enough to hang back with me and only run 3. He is a great support!
