Running Accomplishments:

I ran the Top of Utah Marathon in 4:43 after having my third child the year before. 5 K in 24:19, 10 K in 53 minutes pregnant. Survived personal training from my lovable but slightly overbearing husband Sasha for more than 8 years!!

Short-Term Running Goals:

Break 23:45 in the 5k.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Stay thin and full of energy.

Not be an embarassment to my family full of world class athletes.

Personal:

Madly in love with Sasha. We have been married since 1996 and have been blessed with seven of the most adorable and talented children : Benjamin, Jennifer, Julia, and Joseph, Jacob, William and Stephen.

All of our children have run in at least one race, including Jacob and William who did it inside the womb. I enjoy various non-running activities such as: baking, sewing, playing organ, piano and flute, painting, and playing with our  vivacious children.

Had an interesting weekend. Mostly a lot of fun. I took all six to a baptism because Sasha had a race to go to. My friends at the baptism treated me and my family like royalty and helped in every little way they could. Good idea to make friends with some of the most nurturing and selfless creatures on the earth...they make sweet friends.

Sasha got major points when he tried his darndest to get home early so he could try and make it to a family function later that day. Turns out that our car (the natural gas van that we can't bring gas to...) ran out of gas and we had to get a tow....fun stuff..I let Sasha deal with that one.

I had to go up to Salt Lake myself right after the baptism and got treated like royalty by my family up there. While I nursed the baby my mom and my older sister served the dinner they had prepared to all of my kiddos. Wow!! What a break for me. All in all it was a good day.

Sarah - sounds like you have having some positive events. Hope they help you through the stressful ones that also come. Keep on with the training and hang in there.

Hey Maurine!! I miss you. Are you coming down anytime soon. Maybe we could do a Saturday run together sometime. :)

I almost stopped in to visit on Saturday when I came down to go to a wedding reception with my dad. The previous Saturday I was close - but after running 35 miles, I didn't want to go another step.

I'd love to run with you again. I'll have to check my calendar and see when I'll be down on a Saturday. Between final training runs for my 50 miler and volunteering for some races, I have a full calendar a lot of Saturdays.

CAN YOU SAY SUPERMOM?!?! I don't know how you do it. I know I gave my parents a handful along with my three siblings in church. I can't imagine six! You must have very well behaved children :) Happy belated 4 month birthday to William :)
