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.

I think I need to smell about 2 or 3 whole Ragnar teams worth of smelly yucky socks for how late we stayed up last night. Sasha made the mistake of opening a can of worms with me. I'm a funny chick. If he washes dishes I take it as a personal insult and he better get out of the kitchen...I'm getting better. He asked me how he could show more appreciation...i don't know why but that was just asking for me to think of all the times he hasn't...he's fine but human. 

Soo...after falling asleep at a terrible hour I woke up about an hour later and started in with the coughing bit again. Oh....I think I'll be better by Thursday or Friday but this has been one of those super annoying sicknesses that makes you soooo grateful for your health.  Needless to say I slept in. My Bishop who is also our plumber called to see how it went this weekend having 1 operating bathroom with 12 people in the house.  I told him it didnt' bother me. I was raised in a family of 6 kids with one bathroom for the kids (my parents had a nice master bedroom which we were not allowed to use) Sasha on the other hand, although can go in the woods, is very private at home and not into bathroom sharing......hmmmmm...strange creature.

My run was harder. I have a hard time running in the day when I'm already a bit tired. Just seems my pregnant legs wear out a bit faster than non pregnant.  I had a great time this weekend hosting Lybi and James. Our kids are bored and amazingly enough taking care of my own family seems harder.  

I still wish I could have made Lybi a birthday cake. I had secret plans to surprise her with one. Man...if I had known it was her birthday today, last night would sooooo have been a surprise birthday party. Everyone wish her a happy one. :)
