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.

wow..I'm really slacking on my blogging!!!  I am starting to feel less tired during the day and am thinking about going up to 4 next week. I think the game plan is to just rest for the first two weeks of adding mileage and not overdo during the day....kind of have that tendency of being supermom, housecleaner, teacher, cook, and fashion designer on the side. :)

my times are getting faster too...yay!  I've been sub 30:00 all this week with 29:22 today.

Can I blog April all at once.  Stevie keeps me up at nights so I have to sleep in a little and then it cuts into my free time in the morning before I need to be teacher/mommy.  I ran 3 miles all month and got to the point last week where running sub 30 min on my runs was FINALLY easy ..didn't need to rest during the day and could work and play the way I wanted to...good stuff.  And..that was with a baby teething and waking me up ALL night long...can't imagine what I'd be able to do on sleep.  :)  

Today I tried 4..well..I probably ran more like 3.9 or so ..couldn't remember the turn around. My time was 40:24..maybe should have been more like 42:00 for 4 real miles...

Well the good news is that in the past four days Stevie has actually slept twice..not last night but the night before.  I'm so grumpy though..I just can't be cheerful when I get woken up so much!!  Anyway..I feel okay despite the sleep problems.  I think I'm on 4 every day...I'm handling it better than 3 because my times were already okay.  I was still being SUPER post baby lazy when I switched to 3.  So....41:45 today..40:15 yesterday..I'll hope for sub 40 in the next couple of weeks.  I'm playing the organ on Sunday..yikes..yikes. The Easter hymns are hard and I didn't really get enough notice!
