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.

Felt pretty good today. One of the blessings of keeping the Sabbath Day holy and resting. I usually feel good on Mondays..not always...

My partner is having trouble with endometriosis and it's breaking my heart for her. Never realized how it can be such a day to day struggle.

slow and steady wins the race right? This baby is coming soon and I'm getting excited to meet him. We've had a lot of changes in the past few weeks. Our good friends the Leblow's moved to Kanas. Ted..or Army Runner is going back to Iraq.  Sasha great training partner Jeff..also on the blog and a very talented young man...is moving at the end of July. His wife is my best friend right now so I'm going to miss them alot.  Then Sasha got his new job at Percona..and it's totally different than the jobs he's had in the last 5 years or so..much more involvement with the guys he works with...maybe that will die down a little but I don't think so. I'm happy for him...I worried about him never going into an office. I was glad he at least had this blog for interaction.  I know he's a guy and loves being in his cave but he's human.  And then of course we will have another child. I try not to wonder how I'll manage. I know I will and I know the children will help me but I know it will be hard.  Brave girl. :)

I tried running faster today and my legs could still do it...had a good run and felt pretty good at the end...yay. I'm making homemade bagels today for my kids. We always have an early morning 4th of July breakfast. We watch thehot air balloon festival they have here in Provo. I have to say Provo is an awesome place to be on 4th of July. I would travel here just for all this fun. They have the best firework show all over town from the Stadium of Fire, an amazing parade, fun free activities for the kids downtown and the hot air balloon spectacle in the early mornings.
