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 running partner's little girl should start training with me..she was up..but no mom. That's okay though because I'm going to try and run with Tarzan some today before or after the New Year's race. I practiced the organ this morning instead of running. I wish I had more time to practice and could get really good. It is so embarrassing for me to get up there week after week and let everyone in my ward sing to the tail end of my practicing. Maybe I'll be really good in 20 years. I guess I have to focus on progress but I hate being embarrassed in the process. Sasha just laughs and thinks it's the best calling for me so I will stop worrying so much about what people think.

Sarah - I have had a simular calling. Not the organist, but the pianist in Relief Society. I always felt embarrased. I never sounded good... but one week I really knew the songs and actually felt good. That week I was released. Go Figure! :o) Good luck!

Sarah - I am leaving work at noon - so should be down there to register and warmup in plenty of time! Are any members of your family racing today?

We'll have to find someone to watch my kids if we run before the race..sorry..I didn't work out the details. I just realized this morning that Sasha probably can't watch the kids until after the race because he needs to warm-up, get registered, help with any last minute details etc, etc. So..I'll be there and if someone can babysit we can go jog 2 miles before or if you don't mind we can jog 2 miles afterwards for a cool down when Sasha has time to watch them for a few minutes. Anyway...we'll figure it out..it will be fun to run with you. Good luck on the race today. :)

LOL - I was wondering how you were going to work out the logistics. No problem. I'm easy. (but not cheap)

Organs are HARD, do not beat yourself up. I am sure you do a great job!!!
