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 am enjoying running 4 every day. I've got into a pattern that is working for me and I hope to increase to 5 miles a day coming up a couple of weeks after the 10 mile run.

We took the kids to the Zoo yesterday. Sasha and Ted's family came and it was a little chaotic but really fun too. Nice to have Sasha with us.

Kind of feeling guilty that when I run by myself on Saturdays I just can't seem to make myself run more than my normal 4. I wanted to go 6 or 8 but Sasha said it was okay to run just 4 every day and build a solid base....any ideas?

couldn't make myself finish all four today....had a migraine last night and woke up stiff this morning....tired from walking around the museum yesterday....

I met a woman on the trail the other day whose baby is in the hospital with bacterial menigitis...please all of you keep this baby in your prayers

Adrianne is back from Idaho...thought I was okay without her but then really realized how much I missed her. We did easy four. I think we are going to keep up four a day for a little bit more and then try and bump it up to five a day. What really kills me is speed workouts..

We ran into a friend I met at the 10K we did a few weeks ago. Her name is CarrieLynn(spelling) and she is running the 10 miler coming up here in a few weeks. She lives on our side of town and runs on the same trail we run on every day...I'm excited because I think I may have found a new training partner..that will help when Adrianne moves to Iowa in a few weeks.

Okay...it's time for true confessions.....I am TERRIFIED of dogs...big black dogs are my specialty...so when I saw one heading straight for the spot I was running towards I turned the other way and headed home...I had to finish my run my running around the block a few times.... Sometimes I'll come back from a tempo run and tease Sasha about my time being slower than it was but telling him I stopped because I saw a dog...unfortunately sometimes it's true..sigh...

My running partner wanted to do hills today and I needed to run the kids before we took off for Sasha's adventure in Logan this weekend. so...I ran  mile with Adrianne and then 1 mile back. 2 miles with alternating kids. It was actually fun to have them with me today because I wasn't tired...felt really good actually...yay...I love it when training pays off!!

Okay...my miles weren't all that fast compared to a lot of you but for me holding 9 minute miles for 10 was pretty darn good. I really enjoyed the race...Sasha came to me at the end and found me talking to a guy and was thinking I had a lot left in me.....well I had a little left in me but not much.

Overall felt that I had a perfect race.

Well, besides the van door being broken...the garbage disposal is acting funny, the swamp cooler is still leaking, and Ihave a headache from lack of sleep last night....but at least I got to run with Adrianne today...its always a good way to start my day.

I  totally felt like going 5 today at the start of my run but was worn out by the end.

I need to start taking the Garmin timing how fast I'm going and then if I want to go more I can...Sasha will be thrilled...

I went a bit more than 5 but I couldn't measure accurately because I did stop and start running for almost 1 and a quarter miles with my 4 year old who really wanted to run with me but didn't want to run the whole way for the whole time.
