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 may get more in today. I woke up around 7;35 today..after an up and down night with my little sick baby. No fever but he's a little bit more restless than usual at night. Gonna need a nap again today.

I took Julia to the art store yesterday and bought her some real waterpaints and real watercolor paper and she has been painting non-stop since we got home last night..very cute!!

I felt good on the run today..my allergies are killing me now so I'm TIRED. 

Had a blast helping out the first ever FastRunningBlog race. We are thinking of making the blog a non-profit organization and taking all the proceeds from the blog to promote the races and promote the sport that we love. We'll..I don't honestly love running naturally but I love my husband and I love helping others. I'm excited about these races and hope that they encourage excellence in running and promote good standards.

Sasha and I hiked the Y on Saturday. I felt a little tired from that but not too bad. Right when we got to the top and sat down for a second (I was a little tired) this girl came RUNNING up the mountain..stopped for a second to catch her breath and then went right on down...amazing!! I tried running up for a few seconds at first but then I was good to just keep going. Sasha ran and then sprinted up to show off...I was impressed!!

Perfect run today...warmed up slow..ran fast and then cooled down. Starting to get my strong body back and feeling good. William is just as adorable as he can be, Sasha is being a wonderful husband...the kids...misbehaving here and there but very sweet on the whole...oh..and  all natural ice cream is on sale this week at SunFlowers...now that is good news. :)

a little tired today from up and down night...giant sprinklers attacked me three times while Kimia escaped them and stood there laughing as she watched me stuck with nowhere to go and getting soaked. :)

Good run today. No giant sprinklers attacking..made the PERFECT carob chip cookies last night. They were so perfect and true to my crazy self I didn't use a recipe. Of course this type of craziness should be catching..they were the only ones I've had turn out just right and it was actually the first time I didn't use a recipe..hmm...

I had to do the double stroller today..fun stuff. I ran 2 miles with the babes and then added more with walking..not sure how much. I stopped and showed Jakey pretty flowers, we listened to birds talking to each other, looked at the river, stopped and watched a baseball practice (he said he needed to go to it and I should go home..he's 2..independent?..) and then went to the duck pond and watched some rednecks taking pictures of their dog terrorizing the ducks in the pond..poor ducks..luckily the dog was too dumb to swim to the middle of the lake and just ran back and forth and barked at them a lot.

ran with Sasha today...Kimia and Jeff slept in I guess..didn't hear from them this morning. I forgot how hard it is to be running tired and have someone tell you to try and do things differently...got annoyed with Sasha's suggestion that I try and picture myself running like an antelope..sigh...I guess I just want him to think of me as an antelope without any work to actually become one. :)

tired..had to push the stroller..my lady that I do school with on Tuesdays forgot..again...well didn't forgot but scheduled something else again...so I guess we'll do a lesson alone which is no big deal but annoying..and to top it all off...Costco did not have my very favorite chicken sausage and I had to buy a different kind and what if I don't like it...:( I hope also that I'm not a grouch today. I wasn't too bad yesterday but there are some kids from a house of shady characters that always want to play here...they are sweet kids..really...but they are kids and a woman can only handle so much foot traffic and craziness in her house...okay..it was vent day here..sorry. Oh..and when those kids come to play I can't relax because I don't know what they are bringing into my home...I don't know their parents at all but I can tell it's rough stuff over there..okay..I'm done.

feeling better today. Ran 1.5 with Kimia. I'm getting ready to run 4 a day..maybe in 2 weeks I'll be ready? I'm really looking forward to summer coming. I'm not going to have my kids in anything...no running around. I'm planning on teaching them how to swim this summer..myself...they were swim lessons failures..they came out more scared of the water when they went in....maybe I can turn that around.

Met a lady on the trail today that I pass all the time..one of those sweet beautiful dear grandmother types. She asked how my baby was doing (she saw me running pregnant) and innocently asked if it was my first? I patted her on the arm and said.."No..my sixth!" She said I should tell people I'm 23 and not 33. 

I get that alot..don't mind of course. I also always have people thinking they know me from somewhere and I've come up with the perfect comeback. "Whoever she is must be beautiful!"

good run..Kimia is back from vacation..missed that girl.

Planted the rest of my garden last night...3 kinds of tomatoes..crazy little peppers never heard of..butternut squash..zucchini (thank you Maurine for sp)..cukes and um..I think that's all...  Planted a few flowers here and there for color in the yard. I have these awesome day lilies that I planted a couple of years ago that are maroon..my favorite color..so pretty..have a good one y'all!
