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.

Yuck and double yuck...ooey gooey snow today. Made running my normal pace harder of course as we all know.

I never did take my kids to the art museum yesterday. For some odd reason I was so wiped out after my run I had to take a nap and couldn't get going...sad...we'll have to go there another time. Got the rest of my Christmas shopping done.

I nearly killed myself coming home from Ted and Elizabeth's house later today. This very rude driver in a fancy sleek black Lexus pulled out in front on me on slick mushy hilly snow covered roads....you know the type that are death driving on. Well then...he stopped half way up the hill and almost rolled back on me and made me almost not get up the hill. I'm sure he's going to some "I can't drive politely in snow" purgatory when he dies..ooo...

You weren't running with a baby stroller too were you!? Oii I know how the dangerous driving goes. When I lived down in Albany in the city each long run was not so much to achieve any tangible goal other than not getting swiped as those "Oh so not very polite or competent drivers" did rolling stops and/or hung a right on a red light without looking and nearly cut me off at the kneecaps! Glad you're okay though!

No..I'm not crazy like some of the ladies on this blog. I make Sasha push the stroller. I was actually driving behind the Lexus at the time of his impolite maneuvers. I'm sure running on snowy roads in New York can be frightening.

Good job, Sarah! Hmmm. Feeling really tired, eh? You are going to keep me informed about your situation, aren't you?

Scary about the car. I don't see why he couldn't have just drifted slowly into the gutter and got stuck in a snowbank. That's what I always did when I drove in thst "winter wonderland" known as Provo in December. You meet a lot of nice people that way. (Surprising how many drivers have some kind of shovel in their vehicle.) It is lucky for everyone I ended up in a city with no snow!

Sarah, you and Sasha are such good role models for your children. The running, family life, will really make a difference in their life. Parents really are role models. Winter time running is really the test of dedication. When others look out the window and say no way today, we are on our way.

10 commando points for you and your children.

Stay Cool, B of BS Rools out
