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'm just guessing on this. I walked today because I was still trying to nurse my sore muscles from the fall I had on Friday. I think I'll give running a try tomorrrow. 

I'm entertaining two families today...busy busy....One is a highschool and college friend...that I haven't seen for about 12 years....wow..can't believe it's been that long. He is married with 4 kids and I've never met his wife so I'm excited to meet him. I think he and Sasha will get along beautifully and I'm excited to talk to his wife. They homeschool,eat healthy and she's had homebirths so we'll have some things to jabber about while our children play.

You are amazing! Pregnant and with 5 kids already, and you still find tome to run! WAY TO GO! I ran with my first pregnancy, but never again---too lazy. I thought I would with number 5, but I got so sick at the beginning that when i finally felt good enough to run, I could not get back into the groove. Oh well, I am not going to try it again---done here!

I hope your tail bone feels better, be careful with that. Those darn swimming pools, my kids always go flying on the cement (I wear shoes and stay out of the pool as much as possible!!) but they seem to be made of rubber, and they just hop up and keep going!

And I do believe your husband could convert anyone to running if they spent long enough with him. He should come up with some discussions, he could be a running missionary of sorts!

oh..I just commented on your blog. Yes...I can run pregnant but afterwards I'm BLAH...in shape or not I just feel yucky after having a baby.

Yes..Sasha is a running missionary..that is exactly what he is. How do you know him exactly and have we met before? I mean obviously you know him from the blog but do you run races around here and know him through that too?

Well, you do it!! You are amazing, did I already say that?

I have never met you or your husband, actually! My husband saw him last year at the Provo 10 miler and told me all about him (he called him "a skinny redheaded guy that everyone said was from Russia or something"---so everyone was talking about him) and his SPEED!!! When I was checking the race finish times his name linked me to this blog. So, I joined the blog and participated for a bit but then kind of forgot about it. I saw your husband running back to get you after he finished (gotta love that) at the Provo half last year. I was amazed! Anyway, long story short, I am just a stalker stranger admiring your amazing family!

And, by the way, replying to your comment on my blog, he is a NICE cop! Actually, he runs the police academy, so he is nice to us "civilians" as he puts it, he takes out all of his aggression on the cadets!

Sounds like a visit from a professor in North Carolina who I know... I miss those guys!
