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'll feel like blogging again now that I can at least put 2 in the little box up there. Sasha is a great support to me. He never criticizes me for not being a great runner but encourages me in what I can do and inspires me to do more.

Feeling good..feeling like I could go longer. Sasha wants me to run the 4 mile Thanksgiving race. I say..if you are cooking the dinner you are not running the race...we'll see if I can convince him.

blogging just isn't a priority when I have a newborn....I have been running 2 miles everyday and been feeling slow and fat most days...today I could only manage 1...my big baby William had a fever last night and woke me up several times...plus the baby waking me up plus staying up late talking about our future with Sasha....long tired night.....

Sasha was happy with my race..considering I'm still on the mending end of having had a baby and it was my 7th and it was 9 degrees at the start of the race. Even having lived in Moscow, Russia..which is a really cold place..he says that was the coldest race he's ever done. 

Our kids did great..except William cried but he is two and is prone to temper tantrums if we even turn the vacuum cleaner on when he isn't in the mood for it.  William was 3rd, Jacob was 1st!!, Joseph was 2nd, Julia chicked the field and was first overall, Jenny was 5th but they started the race funny and she missed the start, Benjamin was 3rd against 12 year olds!  Great Kids!!!!!

Despite being exhuasted when I got home..after a nap..and with some help from the kids..we had a great Thanksgiving....Probably the best part of all was that we were all very very very very very very vey THANKFUL for a heated house. The gym that we did the award ceremony in wasn't even heated...The kids and I were frozen for the whole time.  When I got home I put a sweatshirt, hat and scarf on and cuddled up in bed for an hour and then I finally defrosted!!!

felt so good today...that is a nice feeling with some hard but slow runs behind me.  Sasha thinks it was the race that broke open something in me that fell asleep during baby recovery....coming back a little ..coming back. :)
