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 birthday is tomorrow...sooooo. if anyone wants to wish me a happy birthday....they can....I'll be thirty something for another 7 years after this birthday....I loved turning 30 but 33....that's just the beginning of a long confusing decade of babies and talent shows, homework and ballet class, dinners and breakfasts and all the laundry and dishes in between....do you think I'll remember how old I am in the midst of all of that? I doubt it..

Happy early birthday. Trust me - you won't forget your age. You might want to - but you won't. Besides - you are only as old as you feel. I am 48 in earthly years - but really only about 30.

Happy Birthday Sarah!!! You will remember every moment (granted it probably won't be about your age at all, it will be about all the homework, ballet classes, talent shows, etc.). The dishes, meals and laundry you won't remember (though they likely will never go away either ;-) ).

Have a wonderful day, and an even better year!

Thanks guys...I know its going to be a great few years until I'm over the hill. I will try to enjoy every moment of it. :)

When I forget how old I am I run the following MySQL query:

select (to_days(current_date()) - to_days('1973-04-21'))/365.25

Today it returned 35.6523

The best thing for me about Birthdays in my 30's has been the joy in my children’s faces when it comes time to celebrate. I would just as soon do away with the whole age marker thing cause mentally I still feel like I am in my mid 20's but watching my children get excited makes it all worth it. I am sure you feel the same way as you see the excitement in their eyes. You are so lucky to have six. Congrats and Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday Sarah! Bahahaha Sasha made me laugh. Good solution.

Sasha...you are such a geek...sigh..that's why I married you..and so YOU can keep track of how old I am..I'll make dinner and do laundry..deal?

Matt..what a sweet message....made me teary. Yes..I will celebrate my birthday even though at heart I'm still sweet 16. I LOVED being sixteen and cried my eyes out the day I turned 17. And you are right. I am very lucky to have my six wonderful beautiful children.

LYBI...I miss you. Please PM me and tell me how you are doing if you aren't too sick or tired. I wish I could have my kids play with your kids and take some stress off of you. :)

I forget my age on a regular basis. All I say is that I am younger than I look!!!

You will be a beautiful 33 tomorrow, and such a good mommy for many years to come!

In case I forget tomorrow, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! And, to make you feel better, I am older than you!
