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.

My my..just adding 1 little ol mile a day sure does affect me..I'm tired again today..we'll see how it goes but I think adjusting to 5 a day is going to take awhile...

we hung up the towel hook board...don't know what else to call it.. It is very cute and seems to be holding to the wall okay...

I could have done 5 today but it was Sasha's once a month early morning temple work. I had to cut short to get back on time because I slept in this morning. :)

taking the kids to a little pumpkinland today and I'm so excited. It has a teeny cornmaze that only takes 20 minutes to get through instead of the crazy ones around here that cost an arm and a leg and could take hours....scary with little children. Also nothing scary at this one..just fun kid stuff...good times.

good run..felt pretty strong until the end but I'm not dying as bad as I did when I first started the 5 miles. Nice to be back to five miles.

Jenny told me last night that I'm prettier than Audrey Hepburn...one of those mom perks...being prettier than a super model..can't beat that. :)

kind of lonely and long today..but not too bad..nice normal run and those are really nice after you've had some bad ones. 

Princess club with the girls..not disney princess but like helping them find their own inner princess and acting like a person with standards ...

birthday parties..baptism..busy fun weekend.

I'm starting on a new sewing project. I'm going to make myself a pair of pajamas. I always  sleep in ugly pants and old shirts. I'm going to make something modest (so I can wake up and wear it in front of the children) but lovely. I'm having a lot of fun dreaming of what it will look like...I hate sewing with a pattern...I love designing my own..should be beautiful..I'm excited.

Happy Birthday William!! My baby is 1 year old today. We all sang him Happy Birthday as soon as he woke up. First he gave us a weird look and then he giggled with glee. Babies are wonderful. He woke me up right around the time he was born and I rocked and nursed him to sleep. He doesn't always wake up at night so I thought it was kind of interesting he woke up just minutes after his exact birthdate.  I have enjoyed his babyhood very much. I've been pretty tired and had a bit of a time getting back to myself but it was worth it. I always remind friends that are hesitating about having another child what the meaning of sacrifice is. The true meaning of sacrifice is to give up something good...for something better.

One of those days where I am very grateful for running. I was feeling tired this morning..dehydrated or something...my run actually helped me feel better..more energized and ready for my day. I am soooooooooooooooooooooo excited. We are going to get our big table this week and hopefully we can go buy the chairs to go with it too. Found a brand new table off of KSL that measures 9ft by 4 ft..it is wider than our current table is long...anyone want to come over for dinner? :)

will add another bit tonight...just hated to be out in the horrible winds this morning...didn't want to run at all but I did 4. I get worried about huge branches falling on me. After a big wind like this one the trail is usually covered in giant branches that it would take 3 or 4 men to move.

No scary winds today. Getting excited for Halloween this weekend but I'm terrfied the lice are going to come back. I have to keep checking Julia everyday. I think she's good but every website I go to says that they are impossible to get rid of..so I'm super paranoid and having a hard time.
