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.

51:40....not super fast today but hey..it's Monday. Although actually Mondays are usually my supercharged days because I'm actually well rested from our slow Sundays. 

I tried a new thing with my kids yesterday that was fun. We made a bunch of cards up and put them in a big envelope. The rule of the game was to do whatever you draw. They got to ask Sasha and I to tell them family stories, make cookies for the Primary teachers, memorize scriptures for treats and play some new games. I thought the day went better than normal but they said they were still a little bit bored. I think part of our problem is we are around eachother all week anyway and so we are ready to see different people but not always organized enough to make it happen.

The story I told Jenny was how I met her Daddy. I ended it by telling her how lucky she was to have him for a Daddy...she said, "I know..he is one of my best friends"  Then she also usually comments that it's great that I married him because how else would she have gotten her gorgeous red hair.  She is so innocently vain..it's adorable. She is a very sweet and obedient girl so I don't worry about her really being vain or superficial when she's older. Hopefully I can teach her to shine with an beauty from within that will mean more to her than gorgeous red hair anyway...

Good job getting in that extra .10- anything over 5 is a VERY good day for me! You are an amazing MOM! Jenny's honesty & healthy self esteeem sound perfectly normal for a young girl. Our Sunday was rough yesterday- kids were at eachother's throats after the sacarament primary program then having to sit in primary for another 2 yrs. They were bickering a lot after church. I found a nice Sunday evening walk really helped- they needed fresh air!
