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.

After a visit of a month Sasha's mom left today. I cut my run short because I had to say good-bye to her. I didn't feel right about coming back and just getting a quick hug. I wanted to spend a few extra minutes with her this morning. I hope she had a good trip. I know the kids love having her here. I'm sure she'll be happy to be home in her own place with her familiar surroundings. America is a different place for her and of course she prefers home.

Do your kids call her grandma, or do they use the Russian word for grandma? What is the Russian word? I love to hear what kids call their grandparents. I have some cousins who have always called their G & G Mum and Fafoo. Kind of weird, but very endearing. I'm sure your family will miss having her around. It's neat that she could stay for a month.

We do miss her. My baby Jacob keeps saying, "Nini coming" Her name is Nina. My kids call her Baba Nina. The word for grandma in Russian is Babushka. When Benjamin was a baby and about to meet her for the first time I coined the term Baba Nina because I guessed he could say that more easily. So..Baba Nina it still is. We even have a song we've made up and sing all week long before she comes. My kids and I adore her.
