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 actually felt like going more but just ran out of time. Maybe I'll go do another .5 ..it just takes me sooo long to run any distance. I think I'm starting to relax...last week I was in a panic that the baby would come. Now I feel like I've gotten things taken care of and I can let him come when he's ready. I actually finished a HUGE scrapbooking project I started at the beginning of the summer. I wanted all the scrapbooks to be caught up before Willy Baby comes and so I wouldn't feel inclined to not do anything for him. Well, I can officially say after hours of work to find photos( the worst years were the ones I used my digital video camera as our normal camera...that took forever and the quality was terrible...and I didn't really save that much money...maybe 60 dollars).....I am done and caught up!!!! Now I just have to get in a mode where I print off photos every month or two and scrapbook a few pages for each kid every once in awhile. I like putting most of them in an album but I do want to give each child a scrapbook when they leave home that has some special pages and shows them a glimpse of their childhood.

Bravo! What a huge accomplishment!!!

Yes..he probably should..I think it deserves front page!! I'll fill in the fun details on my own blog though for those into gory stuff. :)

FRONT PAGE news for sure! And that is awesome about the scrapbooking. To be caught up with 5 kids is no small task! I have said this already, but I have not done a page in 10 years. I just have boxes full of pictures. You have inspired me to at least try to get some of it done!

Thanks...I just did it the way I do all of my projects. I do a little bit at a time when I have a minute to spare and just make it a priority. I actually LOVE doing things for a little bit that are totally different from what I'm usually doing and ...this is important...can be procrastinated a little bit. Unlike dinner, nothing is going to burn and nobody is going to starve. One way that also kept it going and fun was to meet with friends each week. We rotated which houses we met at and all tried to get something done while we chatted. I stopped doing that when school started back up but had fun doing it all summer.

AH---a scrapbooking party. If there are treats, I am there. I really need to get it done. Scrapbooking has changed a ton in the last 10 years!!

I do a family BLOG that I can print, so I do not feel totally guilty YET!
