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.

Slowly I'm going to increase my mileage to 3 a day...starting out good. I felt like it was easy to add the extra mile today...well almost extra mile. Sasha's toy measured me at 2.75 when I thought I'd gone 3. oops!!

Hello fellow bloggers. I have been super slow at getting to my blog. I have a really good reason though...in case Sasha hasn't told you that we moved. It's been harder on me I think since I'm in charge of the rest of the household. Putting away a million boxes with 5 children running around is no small task.

Well..enough of that. I stayed up late watching T.V. then woke up late this morning and only had time for 1 mile.

Tomorrow will be 3 miles!!!

I ran 3 miles today!!!! Yay. First time I think besides the Thankgiving race (that was 4)
I have a migraine tonight...yuck. I've tried everything to get rid of these headaches..I get them about once a month..probably a cycle thing.

Ran a good solid 2 miles today...besides the bitter cold or dog cold as Russians would say...it was a very good run and a very good day.

We had our friends over tonight...army runner or Ted and his lovely family. The men would have loved to talk running all night but the women made them play games instead.

I felt pretty good today. I've been a bit moody and I'm trying some homeopathic stuff to help my thyroid problems...The run went well and I am getting used to the freezing cold...brrrrrrrrr.

I only meant to run two today but was confused about the distance around the block. I thought it was .25 of a mile but Sasha told me after the run that it was more like .36..  So I did 8 laps thinking that was 2 miles..I felt a tiny bit tired and sluggish at the end but not too bad. 

I was tired and hungry today but not grouchy. I can handle anything but being grouchy because then I'm not a really good mom....or anything else.

Did about 2 miles today...had to stop short because I had an organ lesson to go to.

I am officiall the ward organist. That means that in our church I play the organ for our main meeting..the sacrament meeting.

I love playing the organ but it is a lot of work and sometimes I can't figure out how to fit it in.

I felt really strong on my run today so that was very positive.

I did 3. I felt like going more but had to get home to the kids and make breakfast.

I hope someday to get back to running 5 miles a day like I could before I had Julia. After I had her my thyroid problems started and life went haywire for awhile..and just having three little kids was hard to adjust to.

Now we have 5 and it's hard but at least the adjustment period is over.

Maybe someday soon I'll be ready to run some "fast" miles for me.

I feel ready to run 3 miles more often than I have been but I haven't been organized enough to get up and get going. I have to be careful though because my job as mommy makes me really need to make sure I get enough sleep...I guess I should go to bed on time too....:)

Nice easy run today...

We have horrible inversion going on and makes me nervous running in it.

 I've been wondering if we could somehow encourage people to only leave their engines running for a short period of time...how long does it take to get it warmed up in the morning and how long are people leaving their engines running and adding to the problem...I'm curious.
