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.

Nice normal run today. Just chatted about whatever came into our pretty little heads. I think I might have been complaining about kids in my home the other day that scream for attention from their moms and the moms would say back to them, "Yes sweetie." Maybe they were trying the ol" A soft answer turneth away wrath" trick but I usually call my kids on it and ask them to be soft to me too.

Isn't it great to have someone to bounce things off of? I love my running partners!! Sorry to hear about your dear neighbor passing on.

I could use a couple of parenting tricks myself. Good job calling your kids on the screaming. Seems like they will do whatever you let them get away with.

Nice run too!

Well it takes time to learn the tricks and a lot of time it's out of desperation. I think 5 in 7 years made me fairly desperate for law and order. I just also want to try and teach my kids to respect me, I think they do but I am definitely still working on a lot of the finer parenting techniques. Most of which I think are found in the scriptures....like a soft answer turneth away wrath. I need to work on that one while still teaching them to be patient.
