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.

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!!!

Sounds like a great day (minus all of that freezing stuff!) Your kids are just amazing little runners, I bet it was fun to watch them all come in and so well.

Congrats on the baby, I have been a slacker and did not even know you had had your 7th! You are truly an amazing woman for sure. Hope all is well and that you are feeling good post baby.

BOY OR GIRL????

It was so good to see you and chat yesterday! Your family always does so well at this race; good for you, Sasha, and your kiddos. You are so much more than a fast running mommy. I don't know how you do it all. Props to you! Glad your Thanksgiving was a good one. Cheers. :)

Kelli- We had another boy. He wore the adorable white shirt that you gave our last little one and I thought again of your generosity!!

Jamie- Whatever lady..you are the super woman!!! Considering the conditions you should have run even faster. Sasha says it took about 1 min off his time.

Well, a belated congratulations!!! That is some very exciting news. I hope he is a good little baby for you!
