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.

Today felt better than Sat. I was watching the miles and dragging my feet on Sat. Today it just kind of flew by and before I knew it we had run 4.5....nice to only have a 1/2 mile left.  I'm excited for family home evening tonight because we are going to have our first family council. There was a lesson about it in Relief Society last week that impressed me and I want to try to have a positive problem solving session. Sasha recently quoted our friend in our last ward as saying to a group of men working on setting up a stage together, "Guys...don't notice a problem unless you have a solution" I like that and I'm going to take it on  as our family's creed. We want to work together as a family. Noticing a problem without suggesting a solution is simply complaining...not positive and not helpful. Noticing a problem and having a solution is exciting and uplifting....a fun part of family life when you say...hey...let's do this another way and it will work better. Sasha says we already do it naturally but I think the brethren have counciled us to do this.  

For anyone needing translation of LDS(Mormon) terms...please feel free to ask.

How did your family council go? Our FHE lesson was about the story of Noah. We acted out six different animals. Will loved it. He thought his dad was chasing him, but Lars was just a wonderful animal impersonator. I especially liked his snake. After Lars and I acted out our six animals, Will "took the floor." He turned in circles, growled, and mooed.

I wish I had been there...that is so adorable!! We didn't have a full blown family council but we introduced the idea and talked about how it should be a positive problem solving session. The kids were so excited. I'm excited because I think that it will help me and all of us stop complaining and start talking to each other in positive ways...yay for the gospel and inspired brethren. I'm so thankful.

Sarah, could not figure out how to enter her goals etc. in helping Sylvie set up her blog. Any ideas? Maybe something wrong at my end. We have two computers, could not enter from either. I expect Sylvie will post after her run tomorrow. I like, if you don't have a solution, not a problem. It is interesting how one run can be a tough foot in the mud run and the next one a breeze. If anyone ever discovers the secret? that would be something.
