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.

Stopped a little bit short today because I felt done....listen to your body I say..especially when you have 6 and 1/2 kids and a migraine.

Funny thing..saying that 6 and 1/2 felt good. I've been having issues saying I had 6 children ....it just didn't feel right. I think 6 and 1/2 is accurate. I'm not talking about Sasha...He has 6 and 1/2 children too but his extra burden is in himself and my extra burden is in me. We had a lesson yesterday about gossiping. I've had some experience with this as I'm sure most of you have out there. I think I'm finally done with it...or at least I've decided to make a more conscious effort to really not be the person to make another's fault known as the song "Nay speak no ill" counsels us. I think as I look at my patterns of behavior I'm going to find I've got some long overdue spring cleaning in that area.

Does that mean you and I can't talk about Sasha anymore?

Hey what's the 1/2 about, did I miss an announcement?

From sarah on Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 10:34:18 from 69.169.154.6

no no no...phew..I love babies but that would be a trial...I meant that I have 1/2 a child inside that I'm dealing with...my selfish tendencies..etc etc...

And yes...people can be fun to talk about and it can be therapeutic too...Got any alternative therapy suggestions? Yoga?

You could put people's pictures on your punching bag and punch the living daylight out of them.....
