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.

break my heart and throw it in the trash can...my little girl Jenny was standing at the door tear streaked face and all because I had not come back to run with her. I didn't know I had such a dedicated partner. I sent her back to bed and told her I'd go on a bike with her later today...sweet thing.

I don't know if I maintained 10:00 pace today..felt slower and I didn't have a watch on.. Does anyone have a pretty stopwatch? I'm just too lazy to put it on and off every day...and I hate wearing a stopwatch all the time...it's too masculine for my finer feminine senses.

felt pretty good today considering William decided he was finally hungry for dinner at 5 am. I was up feeding him in the night and then again at 5..mashed potatoes, peppermint tea and blueberries!

Have any of you heard of Safety Kids or Brite Music/Standing Tall? I'm going to meet the lady who wrote all the music for that today...Janeen Brady at a small Christmas concert she is giving for children in the home of my friend. I'm really excited!!

Merry Christmas..we had a great day except for me hosting Christmas dinner and suffering anxiety that everything wasn't perfect..I couldn't do Christmas for the kids and a big dinner for guests in the same day without a few holes...oh well..it was fun to see family!

today's run went by so much faster than yesterday's..it is always hard for me to run Christmas morning when I know the kids are at home awake..waiting to see what Santa Claus brought...The most exciting present was probably the hamster cage Jenny go from Santa. I guess we are going to be getting a little critter sometime soon.

I think Sasha announced on the blog yesterday that we are expecting another baby in August. I am not feeling sick yet but I'm waiting for it..every day...I had some low blood pressure symptoms yesterday....actually I've had problems with it since William was born and never understood why I was so tired..we finally figured it out yesterday and I feel like I'm being reborn. I was a little scared to be pregnant again but now that I know I need to add more salt to my diet...and watch my blood pressure..I think it's going to be a little bit better....We are of course overjoyed that the Lord sees fit to send us another child..another little darling angel....and pray that we will make a good family for this child.

This was one of the hardest runs of my life..I cannot..I repeat cannot run through unplowed snow pregnant..not working for me. It felt like 10 miles at 9 min pace instead of 3 at 13...
