| Location: Provo,UT,USA Member Since: Aug 02, 1999 Gender: Female Goal Type: Other 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| Sasha helped with a race this morning but I still got up early enough to run my 4 and get to Benjamin in time to see him finish. The children and I had a peach cobbler picnic breakfast while Sasha worked on his fancy timing system..still has a few kinks but I believe he's got a really cool idea with his system. He's developing some neat software that I hope works out for him. | | Add Comment |

| Felt strong starting out and then died for a couple of miles and then perked up again. I think my overall time was just under 40 minutes ....I'm still learning how to use this watch and keep hitting split instead of start/stop...and Sasha thinks that is hilarious...grrrr | | Add Comment |

| I think I was doing about 10:20 -10:40 pace for most of the run. I'm excited about bow making this week. I got some great ideas from the quilted bear but also decided that with most things I can of course do whatever I think is beautiful and not the cookie cutter stuff at the store..still..it was good to get some ideas. One of the ideas was bows made from crocheted flowers. I went to DI to try and find some cheap ribbon and came home with a scarf crocheted entirely out of flowers! It's got enough to make about 100 hair bows! I also got a grab bag for 4 dollars with everything from pin cushions to oodles of lace ribbons..already made bows and much much more!! | | Add Comment |

| i didn't want to run today..at all..but I knew that that would be bad for my personal health so I went...The reason I didn't want to run was because of something Sasha said to me about my running form when I'm tired. I shuffle..literally...something I've picked up through months of running either pregnant or exhausted I guess..He told me I might as well get on a bike if I'm going to run like that... So..depressed that maybe I should really be on a bike..I started out...I think I managed to not shuffle at all today and think I can change it and that it will actually help my running but I'm still feeling a little uneasy about whether or not I have it in me | | Add Comment |

| had a little bit better attitude towards the no shuffling running..I think it's making me depressed though because I'm not getting the same kind of run in that I used to...I'm a little bit grouchy today because of that..also..we adopted a cat so a little stressed and my mother-in-law is coming so I feel like I have to clean the house from top to bottom which is quite a task with little kids running around...my big kids are so helpful though | | Add Comment |

| still a little depressed about the running. I feel like I don't do anything quite right in my life right now..need to refocus and not let myself get down about it.

| good run today..I didn't even have to stop once to fix the form..that's encouraging. So we have an announcement to make. I had a premonition a few weeks ago that we would have twins soon. I thought that meant I was going to get pregnant with twins especially likely since my sister has fraternal twins so my chances are very high to have them also. Well actually it meant we were going to adopt a new baby. He's beautiful, black and glossy with yellowish eyes. He's about 5 months old so a little younger than William. Please don't send diapers as we have plans to have him potty trained by the end of the week. P.S. Does anyone know a good vet?

| had to stop alot today but I'm slowly getting use to the new running form and eventually might even like it. I felt pretty strong, however, on the last mile or so. That was promising. Thanks for all the nice comments yesterday. Is the beginning of school stressful for moms or is it just me? | | Comments(2) |

| I guess I'm getting use to the new form...I am a shuffler no longer..I've noticed that I can't really go very fast yet on any of the stretches either..I guess that will come in time. | | Comments(3) |

| I picked up the pace a little bit in the middle of the run..felt good. Didn't die later..that felt good. On my way home some kids were playing around at the bus stop. They kept running out the run road and making cars have to slow down or stop. I tried to get them to stop...stinkers...honestly I was more worried about them causing an accident than them actually getting hit. The cars saw them but maybe would have gotten in an accident to not hit them. Worst of all..there were a couple of "parents" standing there watching them and laughing it off. | | Add Comment |

| Jenny's birthday yesterday. I made her homemade ice cream and homemade macaroni and cheese..she said I was the best cook in the world and the best mommy in the world..so if that's true..why am I grumpy today? | | Comments(1) |

| pretty good run today. I picked up the pace again in the middle and didn't crash at the end. My goal has been no shuffling. I would shuffle because I was tired from..not sleeping..taking care of 6 children and from getting ambitious and picking up the pace to 8:40 or so in the middle of the run. I think I did a 9:15 mile or so in the middle. I would love to get faster but right now I'm focusing on no shuffling for my recovery and that takes enough energy for now. | | Comments(1) |

| I'm actually not sure on the distance. Crazy day with a concert practice at a weird place in South Salt Lake early in the morning and then a guitar lesson with my sister and finally a birthday party for Jenny at night that was fun but I had to make sure the kids stayed alive..they were wired!! | | Add Comment |
