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.

52 something..dont' remember now.

I am very sad. A older man in our ward died yesterday. He had heart problems and was old but I am still heart broken. You see Julia loves Grandpas and he had adopted her and Jenny and brought us presents all the time and gave them hugs on Sundays. He was working on a doll house for them for Christmas and I just don't think I've ever been so sad about a man I really didn't know that well passing on. I was so excited to go and help him and for at least a couple more years of friendship with this adopted grandpa. I am not sure of course because he died in his sleep but I wouldn't be surprised if he had been working on one of the dollhouses he was making as Santa Claus for neighborhood little girls. What a dear man. We know exactly where he is now.

Very sad. But at least he was blessed with an easy passing, so his kindness didn't go unnoticed. Dying in one's sleep is many peoples' dream.

I'm so sorry, Sarah! That is sad. I'm sure he is at peace now. You've had a couple quite sad days in a row. Hopefully you are storing up your happy days, and will soon have a remarkably blissful week.

Sorry to hear about a dear old friend I believe God sends people into our lives to bless us and it sounds like this gentlemen knew how to bless others and a lesson for your children about what a wonderful man he was we will be praying for your family and his.

That is a hard thing for you as well as your little ones. Death is so hard for them to understand. I hope you find a silver lining to these tuff days you have been having!!
